Patients seeking more one-on-one time with their primary care doctor, including after-hours access, can now receive this convenient and comprehensive healthcare service through Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group Concierge Medicine.
The number of patients at Concierge Medicine are reduced, allowing physicians to offer a more personalized approach to each patient that focuses on their overall wellness.
Patients of the clinic, which opened on Jan. 9, pay an annual membership fee to receive benefits that include extended routine appointments, comprehensive annual wellness exams, and expedited appointment scheduling. Patients are also given direct after-hours access to their physicians via cell phone or email.
Concierge Medicine is led by Matthew B. Charmberlain, MD and Donald V. Brignac, MD. These physicians aim to treat the whole patient by taking more time to develop personal, supportive relationships and focus more on individual concerns and complex conditions.
Dr. Chamberlain received his medical degree from LSU School of Medicine in Shreveport, La. He completed a Family Medicine residency at Methodist Hospitals of Dallas where he served as chief resident from 2000-2001.
Dr. Brignac is a graduate of LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. He completed his Family Practice residency at Earl K. Long Hospital in Baton Rouge, and has practiced in the Baton Rouge area for more than 20 years.
