During my first MD/VIP physical, Dr. Day detected a "glitch" in my EKG and instructed me to see my cardiologist. The test done in the cardiologist's office (may have been a stress test), he detected an issue and ordered a heart cath. That revealed that I have 50% blockage in one vessel and 25-30% in another. Without the EKG done during my physical, this may have gone… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
I have been a board-certified family practitioner for the last 16 years. General practice is my main focus, but I also have special interests in diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular health, preventive medicine and travel medicine. I am also credentialed to provide examinations for commercial drivers. I have built many great relationships with various specialists, who can also help you with your unique needs.
My primary care practice currently serves the Greater Baton Rouge area and the surrounding parishes. I have hospital affiliations with Baton Rouge General Hospital, Our Lady of the Lake Hospital and Ochsner Medical Center. I want to remove all possible hurdles between you and the healthcare you deserve. That includes flexible scheduling, early/late appointment options and house calls if necessary, to name a few.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Day
Last year when I went for my Wellness Exam, I had lost 25 pounds from the previous year's exam date. I needed to lose this weight, and Dr. Day had advised that I do so. He stated that even 10 pounds would be helpful. His exuberance over my weight loss really motivated me to keep it off. It is almost time for my 2020 Wellness Exam, and I have kept it off. Hopefully, I will weigh in… See more
I have always been impressed with his knowledge and how he takes his time with me and explains everything to me in depth..he always makes sure I understand completely and he takes his time. He is very personable with me and I appreciate him and his staff as they are all very efficient and I actually enjoy every visit with them.

Dr. Day has always been a very personable doctor. He has always sat down when I am in his exam room and taken the time to chat with me to better understand my whole health. Now that he is a MDVIP he provides an even higher level of service and care. I had to call him on a Sun because I was so sick I could hardly walk. And he returned my call right away and talked to me in a calm patient soft… See more

Dr. Day just wanted to express my gratitude for everything you have done for me to keep my health on the straight and narrow. I've always appreciated the time you would spend with me answering any questions or concerns I have had. Now with the MDVIP you will even have more time to talk about any health issues I may have and it is paying dividends as evidenced by my latest results from… See more
I really like being able to go to the dr. The same day. I like the helpful tips I. The emails to become more healthy! The staff and his nurse, Maddolyn are always nice. I trust Dr. Day and value his opinion!
I have been able to get appointments so much faster than before Dr. Day transitioned to the MDVIP program. My appointments have been so much better as Dr. Day and his staff have been able to spend so much more time with me helping me with my health issues. The best experience this year, though, was getting the results of my tests. Dr. Day detected a coronary issue and referred me to my… See more
