Jake Trahan III, MD

Had a great time today with Team Trahan sponsoring the St. Jude Golf Tournament!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and remembered why we observe it. May we always honor those who paid the ultimate price, especially my cousin SGT Seth Trahan, so that we may live freely.
To all of of fallen heroes and the family members we left behind, thank you.

As May and graduation approaches, we have to say ‘Farewell’ to our seniors as they go on to their next chapter in life! Gabby, my first student worker, has been part of the team for 2.5 years while Jaycie, Amanda and Avery joined the team just over a year ago. Both Gabby and Jaycie are heading to PA school at LSUHSC in Shreveport to continue their medical careers. Thank you for the hard work and contributions to the team over the years. You will be missed!

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

It’s important to tailor treatment to each individual patient. Here we staggered the spinal cord stimulator (SCS) leads from and placed them slightly to the right of midline to cover both chronic low back pain and right leg pain.

SCS actually works at the dorsal column of the spinal cord which is why you may also hear it called “dorsal column stimulator.”
