This clinic will serve the needs of women in northeast Louisiana. Our nurse practitioner will provide evaluation and management of many conditions for which women often do not seek treatment. Testing to evaluate bladder function, called urodynamics, will be offered in the clinic. Surgical referrals will be made to the physicians as needed and expedited to allow minimal time away from home. We look forward to serving the women of Northeast Louisiana with excellent care!
