Dr. Hebert placed a lung cath in my mom who had been tapped to remove plureal effusion 4 times previously. I had asked 3 other doctors if such a thing could be done with an answer of no. Dr. Hebert did the procedure and taught me how to drain it at home saving my mom at least 8 trips to the hospital when she was too sick to be moved by car. His office is accessible at all times with no run around; a nurse or receptionist always answer the phone and the replies are remarkably quick! Dr. Hebert has a wonderful personality and compassion and treated us with respect and dignity. I think of the Louisiana Heart Hospital doctors, he is the most available to patients with issues or just routine questions. I think he must be among the best thoracic surgeon in the world; I would recommend him to anyone seeking quality and compassion in a doctor. His staff is fabulously friendly and always helpful as well and if you can't get a doctor's staff to respond to the doctor for you, you are basically walking the path alone. This does not happen with Dr. Hebert. He is wonderful! Nanette B. daughter to Patsy M.

Dr. Hebert performed bypass surgery on me in 2006. After 4 days of recovery, he realized that a clamp had been left behind my heart. An emergency surgery was performed to remove the clamp. When I was closed up, one of the wires used to tie my sternum together was placed thru my SC joint, rendering my right arm useless. I was then told ther was nothing wrong, it was psycological. I spent 5 months in physical therapy before a shoulder specialist found the wiring problem and removed it.
