I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Broussard and his staff! l've been seeing doctors the past 6 years dealing with ongoing pain that has been progressing overtime and I have never felt so heard and understood by a doctor. He is very professional, caring, thorough, knowledgeable and dedicated to providing the best care. I have only had my first consult with Dr. Broussard and he gave me a plan for care that has given me more hope than I've had in the last 6 years dealing with this pain. I'm thrilled to have a doctor like him by my side. A huge thank you to his staff for being so caring and efficient!

He is a phenomenal doctor. Every time I met with him - for surgery consultation, pre-surgery, at time of surgery, and after surgery - he spent a significant amount of time with me to make sure I understand everything I needed to know and answered all of my questions.
