I met Dr Rabalais when he was new to Lafayette. My boys have been seeing him for 15 years and we all love him! Excellent bedside manner. He is very thorough and explains his decisions in a way a parent can understand. He doesn’t rush us and always has a smile. I have always liked his office staff as they are a direct reflection of his kindness. I would not let one bad experience shy you away bc that would be a huge loss for your family. If you have a problem address him personally he likes to be informed.

When I had just given birth I had a different doctor in mind for my sons primary dr. But dr. Rabalais was the dr. Onsite at the hospital and preformed the fitst exam. From the moment he walked into the hospital room he was respectful of me breastfeeding, he was full of congratulations and had a very high spirit. We continue to see him now as his primary dr And he hasn't changed! He spends a great amount of time answering any questions, gives us tips, and checking over the baby thuroughly, he even noticed a small error a nurse had preformed in measurements and corrected it immediately. He is an A+ from us every visit!
