The elite team of healthcare providers and specialists mark more than four decades of going beyond quality care to educate and further enrich the community. Firmly planted in its roots, SLMA and its providers remain committed to its mission of delivering exceptional service, high-quality medical and affordable care to patients in Houma and the surrounding areas.

Guided by the vision to teach and train residents while delivering quality and affordable healthcare services, SLMA has continued to meet the changing needs of the community it serves and its commitment to care has never faltered.

SLMA also hosts a successful internal medicine program that offers superior training under the direct supervision of a full-time medical staff.

SLMA’s dedication doesn’t stop in the clinics, as many of the healthcare providers, specialists and staff volunteer their time and energy to support charitable services and organizations in the community. 

“People are at the center of everything we do. Our goal is to offer the highest standard of healthcare and patient support, making the process of finding the best care as easy and convenient as possible,” said Dr. Garcia.
