Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I absolutely love Dr Rudd. Very easy to talk with and he explains everything to you.

My experience was great and I would definitely recommend Dr Jason Rudd. I had my right shoulder repaired and it is now better than it ever was. I am amazed. I am going to do the left shoulder soon. I can't wait to be pain free. Just be prepared for some pain in the beginning. It does pass.

Jason is a great guy. Worked on my knee a year ago and did a great job. Lining up now for a torn rotator cuff repair. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. Office staff is professional and courteous. Clinical staff know their job well and perform it seamlessly.

Dr Rudd repaired my torn biceps muscle after an accident in January 2015. Everything about him and his staff was first class. I highly recommend him

Dr. Rudd put my shoulder back together. My rotator cuff was a mess with significant tears and pain. Dr. Rudd was always truthful about my prognosis and I appreciate that. After months of PT, I am pain free and near normal again. Great doctor!!!

My Uncle, the late Dr. Russel Klein an emeritus Professor of medicine at LSU once told me that there were two types of practicing physicians. The first type was in the profession for monetary gain. The second was in it from their hearts . In my opinion, Dr. Rudd leaves all of us whom he has performed surgery, a piece of his heart through his healing hands. A very gifted and compassionate Surgeon. My healing process was minimal due to his state of the art robotic surgery. Within four weeks after my knee replacement I was doing the Cupid Shuffle !!

Dr. Rudd is s great doctor and I would definitely see him again if it wasn't for his rude staff. The women that answer the phone and work the desk are extremely rude and unpleasant.

Not only is his bedside manner caring and he listens to what your input is, he is an excellent surgeon. Dr. Rudd recently performed surgery on my shoulder. I was expertly taken care of and have absolutely no bruising. I know people that have had same procedure and they were bruised from shoulder to elbow. I thank God that I choose him to handle my care.
