Orthopedic Surgeon Used by LSU

I don't know if this is the right board or if it should just be on the OT. Thought with the knowledge of the program there may be more informed posters here on the Rant. Please move post if needed.
Who does the team use for Orthopedic surgeries, specifically ACL tears? Any suggestions on who is the best in the state; have to stay in state due to insurance. You can get a wide variety of opinions on who to use or not use. I am just trying to collect as much info as I can.
TIA

Dr. Bankston I believe unless they have to see a knee specialist.

Yes, he is a knee specialist, he did my knee. Great work. His partner does the Tommy John surgery

Dr. Bankston for sure and he is the best around. Just beware he will tear at your knee when he is initially checking it

Brent Bankston is located at Baton Rouge Ortho Clinic at Bluebonnet. Great surgeon.

Brent Bankston is LSUs primary. Craig Greene is also a good doctor and good guy.

Dr Mark Field (also at BR Ortho) is the shoulder spec.

I agree! BROC is the best. I am a physician, and had shoulder surgery there. They are excellent! There are others there that specialize in knees and have done a few NFL players. Just check out their website!

Thanks for the info. It looks like Bankston does not take our insurance but I will confirm that with their office tomorrow. Does anyone know anything about Dr. Waddell in Shreveport?

Dr Winder is another.
He rotates as an on the field ortho for LSU football each year.
He repaired my right ACL and a chip fracture in my right ankle.

Now that we have an OC in place maybe Dr. Bankston will sign for next year

Joe Laughlin at BROC used to be LSU's ortho surgeon. He did my menicus repair on my knee and my shoulder rotator cuff.
both completely successful. I would go right back to him.

Yep... Bankston is great! Fixed open, dislocation ankle for me when on call at night!

Ammbassador, we are on it. Mrs. WM is researching Bankston now. You know she will have a strong opinion. :-)

As someone else mentioned, check with Craig Greene at BR Othro Clinic. Craig is a knee specialist as well and is highly thought of as a surgeon. I know a lot of people that he has cut and they all speak very highly of him.

if you live in BR there is no reason to travel out of city for an ACL surgery. regardless who your insurance is. there are plenty of very qualified orthopedic surgeons who can do this procedure.

If you're looking in Shreveport check out Shane Barton. Specializes in orthopedic sports medicine and during his fellowship worked under the NE Patriots head physician.

We live in West Monroe but looking for highly recommended surgeons. The team orthopedic here does not take our insurance. We do not mind traveling so we are doing our research right now.
