Dr. Brown is a board-certified internist and primary care physician at Lake Charles Memorial Health System. A primary care physician is often the first medical professional you see when you're sick. They are specifically trained to act as personal doctors, providing long-term, comprehensive care. Internists see adult patients diagnosing and treating a variety of issues – from cold and flu to managing chronic diseases, like hypertension and diabetes. Primary care physicians, like Dr. Brown, are also the access point to specialty care, like cardiology, orthopedics, and surgical services.  

Dr. Brown is originally from Lake Charles and after graduating from St. Louis Catholic High School she completed her undergraduate degree at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. Continuing her educational path, Dr. Brown received her Doctor of Medicine degree from the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at New Orleans School of Medicine, and most recently finished an Internal Medicine Residency at Baylor, Scott, and White Hospital in Temple, Texas. 

Throughout her education, Dr. Brown was actively involved with initiatives that promote the field of medicine. Whether it was working to improve the residency experience as Chief Resident, teaching middle school students about the human body, or leading anatomy review sessions for first year medical students; Dr. Brown’s interest in helping others expand their medical knowledge has been an ongoing focus of hers.
