This April, Magnolia Pediatrics celebrates 20 years of exceptional care, proudly serving the next generation of families. Their practice was designed with kids in mind, from vibrant colors to a relaxed, non-sterile environment where children feel at ease. More than a clinic, they’re partners in your child’s well-being, nurturing their body, spirit, and confidence. With separate waiting rooms, same-day appointments, and a no-white-coats policy, they’re here to make health care approachable and accessible. At Magnolia Pediatrics, they believe in treating the whole child, providing care that supports families every step of the way—and they are still accepting new patients!

How does Magnolia Pediatrics get involved in our community? Our physicians and staff are involved in various school, church, and community activities. We support local non-profit organizations by holding toy and uniform drives in our office. Additionally, we attend fundraising events, such as Bella’s Ball and Bust Breast Cancer.

What is special about the Greater Baton Rouge area to the practice? Our practice is located in Ascension Parish and we serve children from Ascension and other parishes in the Greater Baton Rouge (GBR) area. This is our home too. All of the providers are moms and have children that go to local schools in the GBR area. Our doctors are known by their first names, and the relationships between them and the patients is clear that it goes beyond the traditional doctor/patient relationship.
