Building Relationships, Delivering Care
Why Primary Care Physicians Choose Ochsner

Location: Ochsner Health Center - Slidell
At Ochsner Health, primary care is more than a service—it is the foundation of healthier communities. Our physicians lead the way in preventive care, chronic disease management and patient-centered medicine, supported by a collaborative team and innovative resources.
For those seeking a career where relationships matter and excellence is the standard, Ochsner offers an environment where you can truly make an impact.
For Dr. Sun Hee Shin, family medicine is a calling rooted in connection and trust. Today, she practices at Ochsner Slidell Clinic, where she brings that philosophy to life every day. Her inspiration began years ago in Georgia, under the care of a primary care physician (PCP) who treated her and her family for nearly two decades.
“I wanted to be a caring PCP to my patients like he was to me and my family,” Dr. Shin shares. “I also value preventive care and longitudinal care, and family medicine was the perfect fit.”
The Privilege of Care
For Dr. Shin, the practice of medicine encompasses more than diagnosing and prescribing. It is of vital importance to build relationships that last.
“Getting to know patients as people, treating them holistically and making shared decisions about their care—that’s what I love most,” she says. “To care for patients is a privilege.”
Why Ochsner Stands Out
When asked what makes practicing primary care at Ochsner special, Dr. Shin doesn’t hesitate: “I love my clinic and the staff involved in patient care. Everyone goes above and beyond for each other—and more importantly, for our patients.”
Collaboration is at the heart of Ochsner’s approach. Physicians work closely with specialists, nurses and administrative teams to ensure seamless, patient-centered care.
“We work as a team for better patient care,” Dr. Shin emphasizes.
