Ochsner Abrom Kaplan Memorial Hospital – Kaplan

Friendly, caring staff

As soon as I arrived, I was brought to the back to be examined. I had no wait time whatsoever. This is the best kept secret in Vermilion Parish! Thank you for taking great care of me!

The staff were inviting and helpful, im deathly afraid of needles but the nurse was really good I barely felt it. X-ray and EKG were really fast ..I hardly had any waiting time...all in all great and easy experience.

Kindness, efficiency, promptness

Had a surgery and everything went smoothly and everyone was great.

How am I not surprised that this is an Ochsner hospital? Seems like every Ochsner facility I go to is horrible. They have zero compassion for their patients. This particular facilty admitted my friend's mother into ICU.… She passed away there. When I went with my friend, to claim the body, we walked into the most macabre scene I have ever witnessed in real life. It was straight out of a horror movie. The nurses were standing at the nurses station and pointed to the room my friend's mom was in. Noone prepared my friend for what she was about to see. Her mother's body had already set into rigor mortise. Her mouth was open, and a look of agony was etched into her face, like she died screaming. My friend tried to close her mom's mouth, but it was stuck in a silent, morbid scream, her face twisted in anguish. It was heartbreaking. I couldn't stay in the room. Not once did a nurse offer condolences or even do anything besides stand there and stare at us. It was So horrible. I wouldn't wish this hospital on my worst enemy.

I took my husband to the ER on the afternoon of 5/31/25. Everyone was wonderful. The nurses and doctor took great care of him.

THE ABSO

How do you get a phone over there

I really never do this but I’m his was just not right… went in for severe pain ( I am nauseated from the pain ) from my endometriosis, & 6cm cyst on my left ovary, and my period. ( that I started today ) Along with… passing huge blood-clots and an insane amount of blood. The male nurse was very rude, and made the comment “ you don’t have to be here you can go home “ when I made a comment that I was very uncomfortable & in pain I needed a little time to walk to the bathroom to give them urine. I bleed through my period diaper/underwear ( because I am bleeding very much ) and bled all over the bed and myself, so I then had to go clean up, i wasn’t given any medicine, still after an hour being there and having to get up constantly to go wherever they sent me. When the doctor does finally come in, he tells me I have a large ovarian cyst ( which I told him I knew about and I am having surgery on the 24th to remove my ovary and some more of the endometriosis ) he also tells me I have a bad UTI, then proceeded to tell me it wasn’t a medical emergency what I went in for, because the pain that has me in tears throwing up he’s never experienced! And since I didn’t need a blood transfusion, and wasn’t “ bleeding out “ because my RBC was normal, I practically shouldn’t have gone in. ( Mind you I just started bleeding TODAY & I have had blood transfusions before & this I told him. still wasn’t given meds at this point, he went write up my discharge paper& the nurse brought me antibiotics and nausea meds & still in severe pain, I had to get up and walk to my grandparents car to go home ( because they had to go bring me because I was in way too much pain to even drive myself there ) feeling the same way I went in. And I’m still up now and haven’t slept any because I’m hurting and just so uncomfortable! I’m highly disappointed in our Kaplan Hospital & I won’t be back and neither will my children. Shame on yall !!!!!!

They took very good care of me . They were polite and kind. I would like to thank the ER staff that took such good care of me and the med surg staff that took care of me they went out of their way to make me feel… comfortable during thanksgiving week 😁

Fantastic experience. Was taken in the back immediately- staff was so friendly! My favorite hospital. Also had my gallbladder surgery here by Dr Trahan. Excellent doctor and team.

It was great they got to me as soon as they can

I had to wait a little while but very understandable because of situation before me but overall very happy with service and staff

Mamalona

Went in early this morning with high blood pressure, fever, chest congestion, mucus, throwing up, my whole body hurts, swollen glands and I completely lost my voice. I was tested for flu, strep and covid. All came out… negative and I was sent home told to take Tylenol and if I was better tomorrow I could go back to work.By that time my primary Dr. was open and I went in. I DO in fact have the flu. I was given medicine to lower my blood pressure (not to have a stroke) a steroid shot and medication to help me get better. I WOULD NOT recommend anyone go to the Kaplan Hospital!

I think the hospital is a good one. However, the fact that the lady at the front desk tells me to put on a mask while she is mask free is ludicrous. If anyone can explain to me how that makes ANY sense, i would be in… awe. I have loads more to say on the matter, but doing my best to refrain.

By far, the best hospital in Vermilion Parish.

Went in after being sick a week left me in room 2 hours didn't even check on me so I walked out it's pathetic how you treated at this hospital animal shelters do better than that

In and out very quickly, staff are very friendly.

Racist hospital if your a person of color don't waist your time they like seeing blacks suffer this has happened more than once nurses are most definitely racist
