The reviews listed below were collected independently of Community Health Centers of the Central Coast through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Definitely met my expectations, didn't just listen to what I had going on but asked valid questions as well. It felt like he took time to understand my situation and would ask additional questions to break down certain answers before giving me not just a direct way of handling things but providing me with some options based off of my own body's feedback. It was welcoming to talk to a doctor who wasn't just invested in giving me answers but also helping me coordinate the best course of action and additional countermeasures as time goes on and as are needed

I haven't had the best experiences with a number of chc doctors/referred specialists because it tends to feel like a speedy express aisle and I am the product.
Thankfully that was not the case when I saw Jude....Dr.Theriot. Our appointment went for just over an hour and I really appreciated his time, the attention to detail & me, his professionalism, his wealth of knowledge, his willingness to listen to me when I needed to chime in and definitely his positivity/he smiles and I think I got him to laugh for about 1 second.
All of that combined into one -finally helpful- doctor is a nice change, I was pleased with my visit. I would definitely recommend him and I appreciated the experience.

Wonderful doctor, listens to all your concerns. Does not rush you. He gives you options as to what protocol or drugs that might be appropriate for your health problems or concerns.

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.
