One Clinic:
The Pulmonary - One Lifestyle Clinic
ONE Clinic is the idea of providing a place where people can come to drastically improve their current quality of life. Especially at this time, I believe that we all deserve options-ones that do not include exhaustive testing or medications for a list of “problems”. Our aim is to educate and empower patients to realize the potential that they have in decreasing suffering and premature death due to preventable diseases. Especially here in Louisiana, it is time to turn our attention to prevention and even reversal of comorbidities.
My mission is simple-to provide HOPE in a way that is easy, accessible and devoid of the sterility we often feel in the healthcare industry. I have been on both sides of the table-as a mother, as a daughter, as a patient and as a provider. I have always felt that there has to be a “better way”. Healing is so dependent upon what we feel as much as what we know.
I am humbled to have the opportunity to provide care here at ONE Clinic with a team committed to the principles of faith and hope. We want to remind patients to love themselves and to remember that we are an extension of God and of nature-to be respected and cared for authentically.

Practicing nutritional mindfulness is one of the most successful ways to promote health and wellness. Whether you need to prepare your body for surgery or simply want to lower your risk of numerous health concerns, Andrea Espinoza, MD, FCCP can help.
Reaching upward is a requirement for many jobs. If you start to feel persistent pain in your shoulder with these motions, you might have a rotator cuff injury. The OCSM clinic in Metairie, Louisiana, specializes in diagnosis and treatment of Rotator Cuffs.
A hand fracture occurs when you break one (or several) of the 27 bones in your fingers, thumbs, or wrists. Early treatment can ensure proper treatment and healing. If you suspect a fracture, contact the team at the Orthopedic Center for Sports Medicine.
