Where to find SWLA Center for Health Services

What parents say

I’ve heard negative comments about this place but I’m glad I came. The moment I walked I was greeted. All 3 ladies were very nice getting my insurance and paperwork together.

Ms. Brenda Thibodeaux/ Outreach Specialist went beyond the call of duty to assist me with getting signed up for Medicaid. She was available, kind, knowledgeable, fast, patient and understanding of my needs. Explained everything to me very well and I want to thank you so much for helping me.

I just had all my teeth pulled for implants. I have hated going to the dentist because I hadn’t found one who made me comfortable much less not terrified. Dr Duhon did a fantastic job in every way. He is very personable and he was quick. I would refer anyone who asked to go to him. Thank you dr Duhon.

Dr.Vaughn and her nurse is wonderful. Sweet and caring ladies, fun to talk to. I felt like I mattered! Front desk ladies are kind as well. They have hard jobs and I can't imagine how difficult it may be dealing with rude clients all day. Will always recommend this clinic.
