Plan your visit.
Beat the back-to-school rush. Physicals get busy in late July and August. Come early in the summer with the form already filled out, and you will be done fast.

Sports physical questions.
Do I need an appointment for a sports physical?
No. Walk in any weekday between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
How long does a sports physical take?
Most visits are quick. Many patients are in and out in about 20 minutes, longer during the back-to-school rush.
Which form should I bring?
Bring the form your school or league gave you. Louisiana high school athletes use the LHSAA preparticipation physical form.
Does a parent need to come?
If the athlete is under 18, a parent or guardian should come to the visit and sign the form.
Do you do physicals for middle school, club and rec league sports?
Yes. We do physicals for school teams, club teams and recreational leagues.
