WHAT IF YOU NEED A SPECIALIST?
If you need care that is beyond our usual scope of services, we are still there to help you.  We rely on a network of excellent specialists to complement the care we provide, and we will continue to assist in coordinating your care.  We might refer you to a specialist if you need major surgery, heart catheterization, or other specialized diagnostic or treatment services.

AFTER-HOURS CARE
We have physicians on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  If you need to speak with a physician about an urgent medical need after-hours, call the answering service at (318) 484-3256.  The physician on call will return your call as soon as possible.  The doctor can help you decide what you can do at home or whether you need to seek care in a hospital emergency department.
