Dr. Tessie Marie Larrieu, MD

The best

The doctor herself is rude. Doesn't spend enougn time with parient and makes you feel like you're wasting her time. Maybe other patients had a good experience with her but I myself can say that it has been the opposite.

I saw Dr Larrieu after my initial Dr at Baptist told me my Col of Uterus shortened to 3 cm and I might deliver any minute I was week 32 I freaked out my husband was on business trip my mother hasn't moved in yet I couldn't sleep and I was bedridden for days till I saw Dr Larrieu she comforted me and assured me everything will be ok. I had a natural delivery week 36 as planned healthy boy. She is humble and experienced and most of all she is a real Human being.

She is the best

Dr Larrieu always takes the time to answer all of my questions and is very knowledgable in her responses. She makes you feel comfortable and makes sure to cover all of the bases when you are in for your visit. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a smart, patient and kind Dr. She is the best and won't see anyone else.

Thank God for Dr Larrieu. I was laboring in the hospital for hours with another physician. I was told I would have a cesarean section. But then her call shift came on and she showed up in my room. In her calm and patient voice she reassured me that I would have the natural delivery I desired. I listened to her and she calmly waited watching my baby on the monitor in the doctor's area. That afternoon my beautiful baby was born and we were both healthy. I am so grateful for her kindness, knowledge, and patience. She wasn't my primary physician originally but now I wouldn't see anyone else.

She saw me once, and not even at the office, but at the hospital, and instead of evaluating me or trying to do everything possible to postpone delivery until my baby was full term, she further stressed me out at 35 weeks and told me I'd need an emergency c-section. As luck would have it, I thought to call my actual doctor, who is in the same office, and he made the prudent call to not deliver the baby yet because there was no need to at that time. They were able to deal with the issue at hand properly, so the baby was able to be delivered full term. She would have been born way earlier had it been for her, and for no good reason. She just dropped that news on me when I was in the hospital already scared and by myself at that moment, so it was unnecessary stress added. I don't think that "jump the gun" decision making is good. It was a horrible few hours, and my entire family showed up (of course), because I started calling everyone freaking out to tell them we'd have to deliver her… early.

Dr. Larrieu is part of a great group. She is not my primary, but as luck would have it... She was on call both times I've gone into labor. I'm so thankful for that. She is great in the delivery room... calm, encouraging, attentive to the patient's needs. Highly recommend.

The doctor was kind, professional and knowledgeable. I was able to get an appointment to see her quick. She had excellent bedside manners. She answered all my questions and even called me a week later to give me my results and check to see how I was feeling, I have already recommended all my family and friends to see her.
