"Dr. Dauterive runs an efficient practice.... although the waiting room was full dont panic as he saw me within 5 minutes of my appointment time. The ladies at the front desk are friendly compassionate and caring. Dr. Dauterive came in with a huge presence and warm smile and greeting. Went over the procedure made me feel very safe and comfortable as he explained some precautions he is taking since I have a history of heart problems. His staff followed up with me called me to let me know the schedule preop and day of procedure. They are all great but Dr. Dauterive bed side manners, professionalism, sense of confidence made me feel I could not be in better hands"

"I had to see Dr. Dauterive on an urgent-need basis. So, I was a first-time patient. From the start of the visit, I must say that my husband and I found Dr. Dauterive very patient and easy-going! We did not feel rushed, and felt that he listened to what we both had to say. He made us feel comfortable, and was compassionate about the urgency of my situation. He fit us into the hospital schedule, taking into consideration the need to do both procedures at the same time. At the hospital, he came and spoke to me ahead of time, to reassure me to feel safe. I greatly appreciated this little added touch of caring and kindness! After the procedure, I had to call the office, and he personally returned my call, which is quite rare. He again listened, and promised to follow-through. I feel grateful to God for leading me to Dr. Dauterive's care."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Dauterive for several years now and he has been friendly, professional, extremely competent, and always takes the time to listen to concerns and explain things that I have questions about. Although he has a very busy practice he never makes me feel like he’s rushing through a visit to his office. I have recommended him to many of my friends and they have all had similar positive experiences."
"I was referred to Dr. Dauterive by my PCP. His staff is awesome. He was very informative and has a great sense of humor. He made a scary situation much better. I highly recommend choosing him as you Gastroenterologist."
"As a new patient, who is 2 years + post op following a Whipple procedure, I was extremely impressed with Dr. Dauterive and his vast knowledge of Whipple procedures and the after effects. I am fortunate to have located Dr. Dauterive, a local gastroenterologist who will be able to monitor my condition, make decisions regarding medication adjustments and address other gastro issues. In addition, Dr. Dauterive is very personable and made me feel very comfortable during my initial appointment."
"The entire staff put me at ease in addition to saving my my life. Before I was completely awake from my procedure they already had me scheduled with the necessary physicians to continue my care. If I would not have done this simple colonoscopy I would have died from a slow internal bleed. This office and staff is the absolute best there is."
"A very caring, confident & extremely knowledgeable doctor. Best n the area as I’m told & I do believe that is true! He was very thorough & got the job done better than ever!! Thank you!"
"While living in San Diego I met Dr. Dauterive the day prior to an emergency procedure performed on my mom. He took time to inform me of procedure, answer all questions and provided continual updates. Upon my return to reside in Louisiana, of course Dr. Dauterive was my "go to" doc. for my medical care as well. He remains professional, informative and truly on of the best doctors I've had."
"The doctor and his entire staff deserve a 10 star rating. They insure that you are well taken care of prior to your procedure and after your procedure. They follow up on any questions or concerns you may have. The doctor himself at the time of discharge will ensure that you understand the printout of all the findings of your procedure. His office staff is more than professional and friendly. They actually give you follow up calls to check on you once you've been discharged."
"Would definitely recommend Dr. Dauterive to anyone struggling with G.I issues. I was having pretty bad issues on going for few months and no Dr. previously could give me an answer. I went to Dr. Dauterive “one” time along with some testing and he was able to give me an answer to my problem. He is definitely a real doctor."
