Shreveport, Louisiana
Dr. Cara Permenter provides thoughtful, evidence-based medicine in a setting where you're known by name — not number. Every visit is an opportunity to listen first.
About
Dr. Cara Permenter earned her medical degree and completed her residency before bringing her practice to Shreveport — because she believes the best care happens when a doctor truly knows their patients.
Her approach is deliberate and unhurried. She takes time to explain diagnoses in plain language, to consider your full history, and to involve you in every decision about your treatment. No rushed appointments. No feeling like a number.
Appointments are built around your needs, not a clock. We don't rush.
Medical jargon has no place here. You'll understand your health, every step of the way.
When you see Dr. Permenter, you see her — not a rotating cast of covering physicians.
