Meet Edward Hebert, MD
Dr. Hebert 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. Hebert, are also the access point to specialty care, like cardiology, orthopedics, and surgical services.
