Dr. Susan Richarme has been my doctor for 35+ years. When I was in my mid to late 30’s I was being treated by gastroenterologists for 10 years for ulcers and had taken every new pill that came out. I was very sick. I got to the point my poop was black and I knew I was in trouble I could hardly stand up. This was on a weekend and I called Dr. Richarme and she met me at her office. She drew… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
The focus of my primary care practice at Choice Medical Care, is to provide individualized care and, if possible, maintain or improve my patients' health. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. The MDVIP model allows me the flexibility to continue to interact and personalize medical therapies for each patient in a unique and innovative manner. I enjoy treating both families and individuals, offering a specialty in geriatric care.
My hospital affiliates include Baton Rouge General Medical Center, Our Lady of the Lake Medical Center and Woman's Hospital, serving patients from East Baton Rouge Parish and beyond.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Richarme
Dr. Susan Richarme has been my Dr. for years. She is kind and takes time to listen. She follows my health issues and checks in on me. Sometimes she texts me to check on my treatment with my oncologist. Not just a knowledgeable Dr. but a caring and trusted person. I couldn't ask for better care.
Dr. Richarme is my dad’s doctor, and dad and I just love her. She is caring, patient, available, and knowledgeable. There’s no one story to share about Dr. Richarme because she is continuously helpful. We also love the staff she is surrounded by. They are just a loving, caring group. I feel blessed that dad was lucky enough to find them.
Dr. Susan Richarme has given us excellent care. Her advice is spot on. I can reach her at all times. She is quick to respond. Recently she helped me troubleshoot a problem with my husband, which turned out to be a pulmonary embolism. She saved the day! Thank you so much Dr. Richarme!
Dr Richarme is very personable and can be funny too! She makes you at ease. I just texted her my 96 year old mom and a picture of my mom’s back and she told me what it was. She ordered the meds and even checked on her after a few days. I even started using this doctor. I am 73. She helps out anytime I ask her.
My friend used her for her mom. This is how I found out about her.
Dr. Richarme has helped in so many ways. She guides me to be more healthful, make right choices. After a hospital visit, she guides me on continued care and follow through. She refers me to specialists when needs arise. I can call or text her at anytime I think that there is a medical problem. She has been wonderful!
Last August I was about 100 miles out of town and fell off of the family rent house roof. I broke a couple of ribs and had a partially collapsed lung. After an ambulance ride to the local ER, the ER/ICU team wanted to do surgery to put in a chest tube to reinflate the lung. I wasn't very happy with that diagnosis and procedure, so we called Dr. Richarme on her cell phone, and she… See more
She has been so wonderful to me and my family. She is a blessing!
I flew to DC to a family wedding. My flight was hot. The weather in DC was hot. Our hotel was lovely, but hot. I did alot of sweating. When it came time for the wedding , i was in high heel and a long sleeve dress. No place to sit down in those heels. The room started spinning. The feet and legs started shaking. I knew if i didn't quietly remove my self from the room , i would have passed out… See more
Dr. Richarme has helped me in so many ways. She seems always to be available. I called her when I was feeling absolutely horrible. I had chills and fever, no sleep. She said that I had the flu even though I had had the flu shot. The medication that she called in knocked it out right away. Again I went in with pain in the calf of my leg with swelling.. She sent me to get an ultra sound of my… See more
