Jude Theriot, MD

After practicing neurology around the country for twenty years, Dr. Theriot returned to his home state of Louisiana to start a private practice focused on expanding access to care through telemedicine and video conferencing. After graduating from medical school at the University of California, San Diego, and completing neurology residency at Emory University in Atlanta, Dr. Theriot served as the medical director of a brain injury rehabilitation program near Houston, Texas, for ten years.

More recently, he has served as an attending neurologist at an outpatient multi-specialty center in southern California. He has experience diagnosing and treating neuropathy, epilepsy, stroke, dementia, headaches, Parkinson’s disease, sleep disorders, and cognitive impairment from all causes.

He feels the key to a good visit is careful and compassionate listening. For more complex conditions, close follow-up is often warranted, so that progress can be made incrementally. He recognizes that medications are only one aspect of treatment and should be considered against the full spectrum of approaches, including non-pharmaceutical approaches, where appropriate. When a medication is suspected of causing or worsening a symptom, a discontinuation trial may be necessary to determine if a side effect occurs.

Dr. Theriot is an avid kayaker and an outspoken advocate for nature conservation. As contributing writer and photographer for St. Martin Parish, he brings awareness to the rich natural and cultural resources of the bayou country he is proud to call home.

Dr. Theriot speaks Vietnamese, Spanish and English.
