First Care Physicians - a part of a Community of Caring

Choosing a physician is an important decision. Your physician is your gateway to healthy living and your personal aide in the event of an emergency.

As First Care Physicians, a division of General Health System, we are affiliated with Baton Rouge General and uphold the same exemplary standards for quality and compassionate care. Our affiliation with the hospital allows us access to the comprehensive resources, advanced technology, and vast knowledge base found only at Baton Rouge General. And as our patient, you reap the benefits of our relationship with the General.

We know convenience is important to you. This is why we have offices located across the Baton Rouge area and some with early and after-hour appointments. We're dedicated to the health of our community and the well-being of each of our patients. Welcome to First Care Physicians and to our Community of Caring.
