I see urology patients at Ochsner Clinic on O'Neal Lane. AME exams are scheduled every other Friday at the McGehee office (Dr. Tonore has retired). Emergencies are worked in early as needed. Please call with any questions you may have.

You can find them at JamesAtkinson.metagenics.com with all the details.
