About
At Elizabeth W. McLain, MD, a Lafayette practice built around whole-person care, Dr. McLain brings board certification in both Family Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine.

She manages most chronic medical conditions and collaborates with trusted specialists at Lafayette General Medical Center when needed. Members receive same- or next-day appointments that start on time. The Wellness Program includes comprehensive screenings, diagnostic tests, and a custom wellness plan. Castle Connolly named her a Top Doctor every year from 2015 through 2024.
