HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT AVALA?
“Over all experience…all I can say is that I thought I went to a hospital to have surgery but soon realized that I went to a 5-star resort.
Russ B.
I highly recommend this hospital. The staff and doctors are the absolute best. I have had the best nurses in the world, you can tell they really enjoy coming to work here and enjoy their patients. That speaks volumes on hospitals.
Unfortunately, they don’t have “hospital food” for me to judge because they have the food catered in. All in all I give this place a 10 out of 5 and would vacation here again!”
Avala’s Approach
High-tech Care. Honest People.
Avala is the premier surgical hospital in Louisiana, where the region’s most skilled physicians practice in an elevated, progressive environment. Since we’re physician-owned, we can create a setting where patients are the priority. Because while we offer the most innovative technology and state-of-the-art facilities, we still believe that quality care requires quality people.
Trust Fosters Healing
At Avala, we think about healthcare differently. Our belief is that where there’s trust, there’s healing. That’s why our goal is to create greater trust between our physicians and our patients—and cultivate an environment where there’s more care in healthcare.
It starts by us taking care of our physicians, so they can take care of you. But it ends with a state-of-the-art facility where patients and physicians can build relationships to create greater healing. It’s what makes us different—and the right choice for you.
