Meet W. Gerry 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.
Dr. Hebert holds a bachelor’s degree in biological and environmental science from McNeese State University. He began his medical training at Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and continued his post-graduate training with an internship and residency at Louisiana State University School of Medicine’s Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana.
