John Evans, MD
Meet John Evans, MD
Dr. Evans was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, at Schumpert Hospital – the same place where he works today.
He initially planned on being a petroleum engineer like his father. However, a high school football injury redirected his life-calling. Instead, Evans became interested in medicine after recovering from an operation to repair his fractured ankle.
He attended college in Baton Rouge and was fortunate enough to be admitted into medical school, where his interests fluctuated between orthopedics, medical oncology and surgery.
Exceptional surgeons mentored him, and his desire to pursue a career in surgery was no longer in doubt. He completed five years of general surgery training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Midway through this training, Dr. Evans fell in love with cardiothoracic surgery. He continued his cardiothoracic training at Vanderbilt before moving back to Shreveport.

Great Service
I will be using Dr Evans for my procedure only because I believe, through personal research and experience, he is the best surgeon for the job at heart.
Everything was very good
Great doctor!
I understood the procedure
Overall my experience with this office has been great.
No need to change anything about your care or practice. I am blessed to have had you as my surgeon.
I would recommend him.
We was so happy to finally have someone to see and get things done for me that was needed
We felt secure and I wanted to move forward with Dr. Evans and Christus.
Do need more instruction on after you leave what to expect
Excellent
I'll always return
We were squeezed in that day even though it didn’t feel like it. Pretty sure we cut into his lunch break!
Best hospital I’ve ever been in
My appt was at 10:00 am and was done with my visit within 45 minutes or less!
Dr. Evans and his receptionist were both awesome
