ANNOUNCEMENT
Dr. James Lipstate will be retiring at the end of this year. His last day to see patients in office will be December 19, 2024.
Dr. Lipstate is entrusting his patients to Dr. Laura Rivers who has been treating patients in our clinic since August 1, 2023. Dr. Rivers is a native of Lafayette, who is board certified in Rheumatology. We will also schedule patients who have been seeing Dr. Lipstate with the nurse practitioners, Layne Lemaire, C-FNP and Rebekah Garrard,
