Physician-Led Telehealth in Louisiana: Real Doctors, 100% Online
Louisiana medicine has a geography problem. The specialists cluster in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport, and everyone else inherits the drive. If your parish is more than an hour from a major medical center, getting serious about your metabolic health has usually meant burning a day off work, or settling for a faceless subscription app that will not tell you which clinician, if any, reviewed your file. New Genesis Vitality takes a different position: Louisiana patients deserve physicians they can name. We are a physician-led telehealth practice, and every Louisiana patient is treated by one of two named, board-certified physicians who hold active Louisiana licenses. The entire process happens by video, wherever in the state you live.
One more thing sets Louisiana apart on this site. Our women’s health program is led by Dr. Jeni Baker, and Louisiana is one of the states where she holds an active license and personally treats patients. That means women’s wellness and hormone optimization, care areas many of our states are still waiting on, are available to Louisiana patients today.
We are cash-pay: no insurance is required, every fee is published on our pricing page before you book, and HSA/FSA superbills are available on request.
Who We Treat
Three groups of Louisiana patients find us most often. All three start in the same place: bloodwork and a licensed clinician.
- Women in their 40s and 50s whose midlife chapter changed the equation. Weight that will not respond, sleep that will not hold, energy that will not return. Louisiana women can take this straight to a dedicated pathway: menopause weight loss for Louisiana, with Dr. Baker treating.
- Men who are doing the work and not getting the results. Training harder, recovering slower, watching the scale argue with the effort. We answer that with measurement and a physician, not a preset plan.
- Adults whose thinking feels slower than it used to. Focus and mental stamina are clinical questions with measurable inputs. We start with labs, not assumptions.
The Two Physicians Licensed for Louisiana
Louisiana patients are treated by two physicians, and both hold active Louisiana licenses.
- Jeffrey McWilliams, MD: Board-Certified Emergency Medicine physician and Telehealth Innovator. Dr. McWilliams is based in East Texas, in Louisiana’s neighboring region rather than a distant coast, and he treats Louisiana patients the way he treats all patients: entirely by video. See Dr. McWilliams’ profile.
- Jeni Baker, MD: Board-Certified Emergency Medicine Physician and The Women’s Vitality Physician. Dr. Baker leads our women’s wellness work practice-wide, and in Louisiana she is a treating physician, not a name on a masthead. See Dr. Baker’s profile.
The rest of the team is on our doctors page; the two above are the ones licensed for Louisiana.
Four Care Areas for Louisiana Patients
Flat, published pricing on every program. Where medication enters a program, it is billed separately at pass-through pharmacy pricing and quoted to you before anything is prescribed.
Medical Weight Loss: Metabolic Correction (GLP-1)
$129 initial consultation / $99 follow-up. Physician-supervised weight loss for Louisiana, with GLP-1 class medications considered only after bloodwork and a clinical evaluation. No membership tiers, no anonymous approvals, and the medication cost is quoted before a prescription exists. Louisiana patients comparing cash-pay options can go deeper on our cash-pay weight loss in Louisiana page.
Women’s Wellness & Hormone Optimization
Available to Louisiana patients with Dr. Baker treating. This care starts where it should: with lab work that measures the physiology behind how you feel, reviewed with you by a physician who focuses on women’s health. If midlife symptoms are the reason you are here, start at menopause weight loss for Louisiana; for the lab-first picture of this care area, see hormone optimization in Louisiana. Program fees are listed on our pricing page.
Advanced Peptide Therapy: Recovery, Repair, Structural
$199 protocol design / $149 follow-up. Physician-guided peptide therapy for Louisiana, prescribed only after labs and only through 503A/503B regulated US pharmacies with US-sourced ingredients. We never use research chemicals, and we are honest about timelines: structural repair takes 4-8 weeks. Lab panels start at $99 (see comprehensive lab testing).
Cognitive & Neuro-Optimization + Cellular Longevity
$199 protocol design / $149 follow-up. Brain fog and fading sharpness get a workup here, not a shrug: lab measurement first, then an evaluation by a Louisiana-licensed physician before any protocol is designed.
All four areas are described in full on our services page.
How Care Works, Wherever You Are in Louisiana
- Book online. The initial consultation runs about 30 minutes by video, and many evening and weekend slots are available. Reserve your appointment.
- Get your labs drawn near you. Panels are ordered during your consultation and drawn through our Quest partnership; Quest’s nationwide network puts draw locations across Louisiana, so the lab visit is local even though the practice is not. The draw is included in the panel price, and you receive your raw results directly from Quest as well.
- Review the results with your physician. Your provider goes through your labs with you by video as soon as the lab returns them. Nothing is rubber-stamped.
- Start your protocol. Follow-ups usually run 15 minutes. Any medication comes through 503A regulated US pharmacies, billed separately at pass-through pricing that was quoted to you first.
Telehealth in Louisiana: What You Should Know
- Telehealth is a regulated form of medical care in Louisiana. Physicians treating Louisiana patients by video must hold a Louisiana license and answer to the state’s medical licensing authorities, exactly as they would in an exam room.
- Both of our Louisiana physicians hold active Louisiana licenses. No borrowed rosters, no out-of-state workarounds.
- We are a telehealth-only practice. There is no office to visit, in Louisiana or anywhere else; the only in-person step is your local Quest lab draw.
- We are cash-pay. No insurance is billed. Pricing is published before you book, and HSA/FSA superbills are available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which doctors are licensed to treat patients in Louisiana?
Two physicians treat Louisiana patients at New Genesis Vitality: Jeffrey McWilliams, MD, a Board-Certified Emergency Medicine physician and Telehealth Innovator, and Jeni Baker, MD, Board-Certified Emergency Medicine Physician and The Women’s Vitality Physician. Both hold active Louisiana licenses, and every visit is a video consultation with one of them, not a questionnaire reviewed by an unnamed clinician.
Can Louisiana patients get hormone optimization and women’s wellness care?
Yes. Dr. Jeni Baker holds an active Louisiana license and treats Louisiana patients directly, which makes Louisiana one of the states where our women’s wellness and hormone optimization care areas are fully available. The work is labs-first: panels measure the physiology behind your symptoms, and Dr. Baker reviews the results with you before any care plan is designed.
Where do Louisiana patients get their labs drawn?
At a Quest location near you. New Genesis Vitality partners with Quest because its nationwide network covers Louisiana statewide, so the blood draw is a short local errand rather than a trip to a metro. Your panel is ordered during your consultation, the draw is included in the panel price, and you receive your raw results directly from Quest in addition to the physician walkthrough.
I already have recent bloodwork. Do I have to pay to repeat it?
No. If you bring recent labs to your consultation, we use them, so you are not paying out of pocket to re-test what has already been measured. Your physician will tell you if anything is missing for the evaluation you are seeking, and only the missing pieces would be ordered.
Do I need to live near New Orleans or Baton Rouge to be a patient?
No. The practice is 100% online, so a patient in a rural parish gets the same physicians, the same labs-first process, and the same published pricing as a patient in a metro. Lab draws happen at Quest locations across the state, and evening and weekend appointment slots mean the visit fits around work rather than replacing a workday.
