All of us along the bayou was blessed to have Dr Richard Robichaux for their doctor. Dr Dick took me "under his wing" when I was in my twenties. I was having many difficulties which prevented me to have a baby. After surgery and faith in Dr Dick, I had a son whose middle name is "Richard" named after Dr. Dick. I am now 65 and my son is 37. This region owes him so much. He will be missed!
