Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group Men's Health Center is a membership-based center that was designed by men for men with a goal of making it easier for men to take control of their health. Members of the Men’s Health Center will experience unmatched service in three major areas.
When you have an issue, we want to be able to address it as quickly as possible. We offer same- or next-business-day appointments for any medical concern you may have to help you return to a good state of health as soon as possible.
We want you to be able to access care however it makes sense for you. While periodic visits for chronic illnesses are important, in most instances we can easily and confidently handle simple medical issues, refills, and medical questions over the phone, by secure email, or even over a video chat.
We will do everything we can to ensure there is little to no waiting in the center once you arrive. For a typical visit, you should be in and out in less than 30 minutes. All blood work is conveniently drawn in the center by our nurses.
If you need a men's health specialist, make an appointment today by calling (225) 765-4400.
