Family medicine doctors are educated in all areas of medicine, which gives
them the skills to care for people of all ages.
After medical school, family doctors complete three years of residency.
During that time, they receive training in hospitals, doctor's offices
and other settings. Family doctors update their training even after they
begin practicing. This keeps them current with medical breakthroughs.
Family medicine doctors at Lake Charles Memorial Health System are the
access point to specialty care – from orthopedics, cardiology, rheumatology,
and surgical services – just to name a few. Your family medicine
doctor can refer you to other specialties within the Memorial health system
to care for all your healthcare needs, in one place.
