OSSL - Orthopaedic Sports Specialists of Louisiana

Call 985.625.2200 to schedule an appointment in advance.

Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at the time of their appointment.

If you are unable to keep your appointment, we kindly ask that you provide 24 hour notice so we may use that time to see another patient in need of care. We make a sincere effort to adhere to our appointment schedule and appreciate your patience if we are late due to emergencies or hospital surgery. We will keep you informed of delays and reschedule appointments as necessary.

We utilize NetReminder, an electronic telephone patient appointment reminder system as another added convenience. NetReminer will call your designated number to remind you of your appointment time. If you do not want the automatic reminder, please notify the office upon scheduling.
