Primary Physicians in Alexandria

I need to find a good primary for my daughter who is about to be 18 and weighs about 330.  It needs to be one that accepts medicaid and will be willing to help us through this process.  Thanks for all your help!! 

The only Bariatric physicians in the Alexandria area are Dr. Bledsoe or Dr. Parrish both with Mid Louisiana Surgical. 

I don't know if they accept Medicaid but you can call to find out.

Good Luck.

Are they primary care drs or bariatric surgeons?  I thought we did not have any surgeons in town.  Are they new?

I used Dr. Charles Joiner when I was trying to have me surgery.  We was not super knowledgable about bariatrics but he was willing to work and find out for me.

Good Luck to you!

Drs. Parrish and Bledsoe in conjunction with Cabrini have started a Bariatric program right here in Cenla.  They have free seminars at Cabrini every few months to educate everyone about the program. 

If you are looking for just a primary care physcian then I highly recommend Dr. Vincent Mallory at Cabrini. He is great! For so much as the local Drs for Bariatric, dmwc1962 is correct. Check them out

I see Dr. Carole Holton and she is wonderful. She is very easy to talk to.
