From Lourdes South Louisiana Pediatrics
The Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System is a leading health care innovator in Louisiana and Mississippi. We bring together outstanding clinicians, the most advanced technology and leading research to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality and safest care possible. Since our founding in 1911, we have been blessed by the guidance of the Franciscan Sisters. Through their guidance and steadfast example, we have committed to assure that we perpetuate their healing ministry for another hundred years. It is a noble purpose we strive to fulfill every day. Headquartered in Baton Rouge, LA, we serve patients through a network of hospitals, clinics, physicians, elderly housing and integrated information systems.
We are not a patient of SOLA, but Dr. Ricky Pratt is the dr on call and one year old has COVID. Dr. Pratt answered my many phone calls & many questions to avoid going to the hospital with my son. He had a lengthy conversation with me to help ease my first time mom anxiety and help explain to me what to be aware of & what to look for to know if we must visit the ER. I am very thankful for him & I feel so much better since speaking with him! Thank you so much! If I ever need to switch pediatricians, he will be first on my list!
We LOVE Dr. Pratt and Melancon. Dr. Pratt took my one year old when he was a few months old. He is not afraid to investigate and/or look into your child’s issues or your concerns. My one year old is very comfortable with them both. The ladies in the front are very kind as well!
We love everything about this place! The staff is amazing!!
