About John Firestone

I specialize in Pediatrics. I became a healthcare provider because I love helping parents and children better understand each other and their medical issues. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I love to teach and coach my patients and hope to inspire them to be more confident than when they came in. My little something extra: I play the trumpet, which I started in high school. Also, I love New Orleans and the amazing spirit of the people. Nothing gets them down!

    The front desk staff, as well as the checkout staff, the lady who checked me out was very kind, very warm, welcoming, very sweet, very nice. Mr. John Feyerstone was very attentive. He took time to listen to our concerns. He took a lot of time with myself and my son, and he was very nice. and he had great bedside manner. I would definitely recommend him to my family members and friends.

    I thought it was very unprofessional that my mother-in-law said that the doctor gave my son pats on the butt.

    I like the fact that he listened to me and he was trying to direct me to the right place with my child. He was trying to get help and he sent me somewhere and he's still looking for somewhere to finish up with. Yeah, I like Dr. Firestone. Thank you. And I would recommend him.

    Dr. Firestone provided detailed explanations for our visit. He was very thorough and made my seven year-old smile a few times while interacting with her.
