It was a very good experience. I had some embarrassing issues but l wasn't made to feel embarrassed.

03/06/2025

Dr. Ragusa was amazing. She took time to discuss concerns and listened. This was my first visit and she obviously had thoroughly read through my previous medical history. I have never had the kind of experience with any other provider that I had with her.

03/06/2025

Dr Ragusa is amazing. My doctor went with the MDVIP program and I elected not to so I needed a new doctor. So glad I picked her. I felt so cared for on my visit. She is definitely a keeper!

OBR is the bomb, she's very attentive, really nice, very informative and explains things in a way you can relate. Reminded me of a previous provider that I've had for over 10 years. I would definitely highly recommend Dr. Ragusa to ANYONE looking for a new provider.

02/19/2025

01/16/2025

The best experience at a doctor's office I have ever experienced.

01/15/2025

Dr. Ragusa is hands down the best doctor I have ever seen in terms of communication and intrapersonal skills. She utilized reflective listening, open ended questions, communicated empathy and compassion, and worked together with me to find a treatment plan that worked with my lifestyle and symptoms. Dr. Ragusa showed interest in my personal story and asked several thoughtful questions to get to know me better as a patient. Dr. Ragusa made helpful suggestions for treatment and explained things in an accessible way to me. She made me feel respected even while explaining complex concepts to me in a slightly simplified way to enhance my understanding. I walked out of my visit feeling empowered, and I immediately reached out to my friends who have also recently moved to the area to reccomend Dr. Ragusa as a primary care doctor. It may sound dramatic, but as a young woman with some negative experiences with past medical visits, Dr. Ragusa gave me so much hope for the next generation of medical professionals. She was trauma informed, highly professional, communicated an effort to keep up to date on new research, did not make assumptions, did not belittle me, did not rush the visit, saw me promptly... Simply put, Dr. Ragusa was delightful, and I trust that I am in very good hands with her and her staff. I felt like more than just a number at her office, which is a rare experience! For once, thinking about visiting the doctor does not fill me with dread and anxiety. I left this visit feeling better than I did when I came in, whereas I usually leave doctor visits feeling frustrated and misunderstood. My friends were so astonished to hear me giving a doctor such high praises given my previous frustrations.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with the family center and Dr. Ragusa. Everything operates so efficiently and Dr. Ragusa is incredibly empathetic and thorough with her examinations. I cannot recommend her and Baton Rouge General enough.

She was very helpful to me, very respectful. She listened to what I had to say. We had a good conversation and she was very, very helpful to me and taught me some things too that I didn't know, told me about some medication I didn't know. It was very important to me and I would recommend her to anyone. She's very highly appreciated, tended to her parents, I mean, not parents, her patients in a good way and a special way. So I do like her. Thank you.

09/06/2024

Dr. Ragusa was truly amazing. It was my first time seeing her and she was TOTALLY aware of my past medical history. She immediately stated she would assist me in finding a Neurologist, which made me feel COMPLETELY comfortable. I have already recommended her care to two others. I without any doubt feel completely confident I found the perfect Primary Care Physician!
