Meet Robert Hankenhof III, MD


My goal as your personal doctor is to partner with you to help you achieve optimal health. This includes a focus on diet, exercise, stress reduction and relationships with a mix of spirituality. What I have found is when patients are working hard on improving their health, not only is their body benefitting – often, their relationships are better and they are happier in their lives. I will work with you each step of the way to help you make informed decisions towards achieving your goals. I have also done an intensive with the BaleDoneen Method® of heart attack and stroke prevention and have incorporated many of these principles into my practice. 

As one of the few family physicians in Acadiana offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide a level of care that you simply cannot get with the cattle-drive mentality of many traditional practices today. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

My practice is located in downtown New Iberia, Louisiana, and serves patients from all around Acadiana including New Iberia, Lafayette, Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro, St. Martinville, Abbeville and Franklin. I very much enjoy what I do and provide a relaxed environment for us to work together as a team to help achieve your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hankenhof for many years. He has always been a phenomenal Doctor. MDVIP has allowed him the time and energy to focus on my health care needs in greater depth. We are currently working on my losing weight and becoming more active. He is always accessible by phone. He has helped our family through a very rough couple of years. We have had several unexpected deaths in our family, his emotional support goes above and beyond even what MDVIP would expect of him. He truly cares about all of his patients.

Dr. Hankenhof is one of those doctors that is very hard to find. He's the type of doctor that believes in helping his patients by finding out exactly what is causing the different illnesses his patients have. If you can find the underlying cause, then he can treat it and maybe eliminate some of the medications a patient has to take.
He truly cares about his patients at and away from his office.
Choosing him as my doctor has not only changed my life, but he's also saved my life.

I have been with Dr Hankenhof for a couple of years now. He is a great physician that truly listens to what I have to say. He ask a lot of questions about what you went in for as well as discussing other issues I may have forgotten to bring up. He takes the time to give an education before medication, and I like that. Always responsive to calls day or night.

Just Breathe, We've Got This.

from Michael in LA • March 9, 2024
Doctor Hankenhof has always been concerned about all aspects of my life, not just the medical part. During one recent visit he had to give me some news about a test result that was potentially troublesome. With everything else going on, this is not what I wanted to hear. Sensing my growing anger and frustration, Dr. H grabbed me by the shoulders and in a calm, reassuring voice said, "Just Read more...
