- Primary CarePeter J. Monteyne has been serving Ascension Parish since 1989, when he and his family relocated to Louisiana. He became Medical Director of Ascension Parish Hospital soon after opening the first Long Term Acute Care facility in the State. Dr. Monteyne received his Medical Degree from The University of Saskatchewan in Canada and split his residency requirements between Saskatchewan and Michigan. Along with primary care, Dr. Monteyne also practices long-term inpatient care and rehabilitation.
- Family PracticeRichard J. Caro has been serving the Ascension Parish community since 1975, spending all those years in practice at the Caro Clinic. Originally from New Orleans, Dr. Caro earned his medical degree from Louisiana State University, and his residency in family medicine at Earl K. Long Medical Center.
- Emergency CareThe Caro Clinic is a walk-in Primary Care facility. What does that mean? That means you can walk in and see a doctor five days a week. That may sound like urgent care, because we can handle almost all of your day-to-day medical needs urgently, but the major difference is the cost.
- ElectrocardiogramWith an in-house laboratory, we are equipped to handle almost all medical situations. We have an in-house procedure room with an Operating Room light, Pulmonary Function Test, Electrocardiogram, and Audiogram. We can do instant read Hemoglobin A1C, Lipid Panel, Urinalysis, Microalbumin, and Flu and Strep Quick Tests.

Through this technology and its base in the Creighton model cervical mucus charting system, women now have the opportunity to see into the way their bodies function and to take part in it. NaPro also allows us as medical professionals to help women monitor their fertility and fix reproductive problems (such as irregular bleeding, PMS, infertility, endometriosis, polycystic disease) all with a natural, bioidentical, low-cost approach.
