Dr. Choate did a very good job repairing my rotator cuff. After 4 months, I am back on the tennis court! His team and the physical therapy team at Ochsner Sports Medicine were fantastic!

Dr. Choate and his team were very good with my care. He did a great job fixing my wrist and upper arm after my accident. The follow up visits were very good as well as he and his team let me know how I was progressing, answered all of my questions and put me at ease. He and his team are an exceptional asset to the Ochsner Medical Staff and the Elmwood Orthopedic Center. I would recommend him highly to anyone who needed help with an arm or wrist injury.

Dr. Choate provided me with the best and most comprehensive care for my broken leg and ankle. He and his team quickly and accurately diagnosed the need for surgery and took action to schedule it. He followed up our in person appointment with a pre-surgery phone call. In addition, he ensured I had access to the right tools (knee scooter, physical therapy and post surgery checks) to get back on my feet in record time. Special thanks to Dr Choate and his team for their excellent medical care and high EQ.

I have had two very positive rotator-cuff surgeries under the expertise and guidance of Dr. Choate. I was 60 years old when I had my first ever surgery and I was very anxious about the entire process. Dr. Choate was GREAT in calming me down and giving me confidence in the ENTIRE process! Dr. Choate artfully articulated, in layman's terms, what my condition was, how the surgery will go, and the importance of actively participating in physical therapy!
Dr. Choate made himself available to me throughout the entire process which was instrumental towards me reaching my personal goals!
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Choate to do rotator-cuff surgery for anyone who may need this done to improve mobility and strength! He is a GREAT doctor who is an EXPERT in his field!
Dr. Choate has a special gift from a surgical perspective in addition to having EXCELLENT communication skills that eases the patient's concerns about surgery (both before and after). You can't go wrong entrusting him!

Dr. Choate has been my ortho doc for over 5 years & I HIGHLY recommend him! My first encounter with him, he fixed a problematic knee issue I had.
More serious was our second meeting when he emergently repaired a severely torn bicep. Without dispute, my successful recovery was due to his surgical abilities & his staff's guidance through my rehab (Mona Kambur, OT).
It's easy to highlight his professionalism, knowledge & exceptional abilities which I think just come naturally for him; however, I'd like to commend him on the little things because for me, these complete the big picture.
He always enters the room with a smile & a calming disposition which put me at ease.
He conversed with me as a person, not just another patient, & always remembered some personal detail to chat about.
I was way too ambitious to get back to my job & working out nevertheless he listened patiently, explained to me the surgery, my recovery & expertly guided me along the path I needed to take.
Thank you!

Dr. Choate reconstructed my ACL and repaired the meniscus on my right knee. I am very pleased with the result, I have regained stability in my right leg. He has a great bedside manner.

Dr. Choate repaired my left shoulder after a massive rotator cuff tear. I was fortunate to have him as my surgeon! His skill as a surgeon has allowed me to regain full range of motion of shoulder so that I can continue to enjoy a very active life. He was attentive and professional throughout the surgical experience and my post-op visits. Highly recommend!!!

Dr. Choate performed a reverse shoulder replacement for me last October. He was quite candid about my surgical needs and thoroughly reviewed my options. I went with the replacement surgery and he was was great in the pre-op phase through my recovery with physical therapy. I would highly recommend Dr. Choate for an orthopedic procedure. Great attitude, performance and support.

Dr. Choate is an outstanding physician. Not only is he an amazing physician at the top of his craft, his bed side maker is like no other. Dr Choate is always accessible and he care about doing his very best to restore his patients back to normal. Dr Choate takes on very difficult cases that other doctors may shy away from. I will never hesitate to place my health in his hands. Dr. Choate has performed two very complicated surgeries on me and both were a great success. You will not be disappointed if you choose Dr. Choate as your surgeon.
