Meet Mohammed Sarwar, MD

Dr. Sarwar is an internist and primary care physician at Lake Charles Memorial Health System. He sees patients at Moss Memorial Health Clinic on Walters Street in Lake Charles.

Internists see adult patients to diagnose and treat a variety of issues – from colds and flu to managing chronic diseases, like hypertension and diabetes.
