Telehealth visits are available for established pediatric patients. The clinic's pediatricians and mid-level providers conduct these visits with access to the patient's complete medical history. Telehealth is used for evaluations of minor illnesses and rashes, follow-up care for ADHD, and guidance for chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, anxiety and depression. A diagnosis of flu, strep throat, pneumonia or ear infections requires an in-office evaluation. The pediatric counselor is also available through telehealth for childhood and family counseling. Parents are asked to use a quiet place at home with good wi-fi connectivity and a computer, tablet or phone equipped with a camera, to take the child's temperature and weight beforehand where possible, and to have the child present during the call.

The main office sits on 1st Avenue, about a quarter of a mile from Lake Charles Memorial Hospital and roughly half a mile from the Express OMV office. Enterprise Boulevard and Saint Margaret Catholic School are each about four tenths of a mile away, and East College Street is about six tenths of a mile from the clinic.

The clinic's reputation rests on the customers it has served and a steady record of repeat and referred patients.
