Services

Established in 1989 with three physicians initially, Dothan Medical Associates, P.C. is now a multi-specialty practice with six physicians and nine nurse practitioners. Our specialties include Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. All of our physicians at Dothan Medical are board certified or Board Eligible. There is also a Certified Diabetic Educator on staff that manages insulin pumps and follows patients with Diabetes.

Our goals are to provide you with quality medical care and to treat you as we would like to be treated: with respect, courtesy, and compassion. We are responsible to ensure our patients receive only the highest level of quality care. The essential elements in our goals focus on maintenance of health, preventive health, and restoration of health in order to maximize our efforts toward improving quality of life.

We offer a variety of healthcare services right here in our office. All of our specialties take advantage of an in-house Laboratory employing two full-time lab technicians. Some of our other services include:

Our patient forms are provided for you to print and complete before your scheduled visit to the office. If you are scheduled as a new patient to see a provider other than Dr. LaCour, you will need to complete the NEW PATIENT FORMS and bring them in with you at the time of your appointment.
