Meet Dr. LaQuatre Rhodes
Dr. LaQuatre Rhodes is a Pediatric Gastroenterologist. At an early age she had a passion for science and interacting with people which ignited her interest in medicine and aspiration of becoming a Pediatrician. She earned her medical degree from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. She then completed her Pediatric Residency training at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport and Pediatric Gastroenterology fellowship at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-New Orleans. Dr. Rhodes loves the vast pathology of the GI system and unique structure-function relationships which provides the opportunity to care for patients with a multitude of conditions. She has interests in nutrition, IBD, NASH, and obesity. Each patient encounter is challenging and rewarding and there's not a day she regrets going into this field.
Dr. Rhodes is also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. She is an advocate for the community and highly involved with service geared toward teens. When not at work, she enjoys playing and watching sports, spending time with family and friends, enjoys the arts (ballet, tap, jazz, etc), and listening to music and attending performances.
Dr. Rhodes is inspired by those who paved the way for the many opportunities she has been afforded to reach her goals of becoming a physician. "Every dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." This quote by Harriet Tubman continues to motivate and inspire Dr. Rhodes as she continues to pursue her passion in medicine and the challenges that accompany it.

The check in lady, the MA and Dr. Rhodes. They were all amazing. The front staff was quick to acknowledge our arrival and get us checked in and out. The MA was thorough bringing up things that were connected to hospital stay that I had forgotten and then came to confirm them with me to get his chart properly updated with correct info then went over each individual thing the Dr ordered and the process and timeline of each one and what to expect. Dr. Rhodes superseded my expectations with her knowledge, treatment plan and questions regarding his health background and current symptoms to get an overall Idea of what and how to treat for.

I am very pleased with this clinic. We drove two hours to get there, and it was by far worth every minute to have such a caring and compassionate staff and physician. The quality of care received was superb and exceeded our expectations. We had previously gone to [...] and the service and medical care was poor and rude. Cooks and Dr Rhodes proved to be by far the best clinic and most friendly and devoted to really helping my child get better and not just overlook his symptoms and my concerns. Will refer here a million times over and now will find other providers in other specialties we need that are affiliated with Cooks for my son. He is a sick little boy but we finally found the best of the best with Cooks Children and Dr. Rhodes!

Dr Rhoades was absolutely outstanding-so caring and knowledgeable. We were at our wits end. Our sweet baby has horrible reflux and is on his fifth formula. None of the traditional treatments prescribed by our pediatrician have worked. Dr Rhoades found the solution. Our baby is now eating without fighting the bottle or screaming with each feed. Thank you so much, Dr Rhoades!!

Dr. Rhodes and Jessica seemed to do a great job coordinating with all the staff involved in the visit and ensuring we didn't have to sit and wait longer for any orders (imaging, blood draw). Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful.

My son's anxiety around anything outside of an exam is at an 11. Everyone was patient and kind. We've had negative experiences in the past with other providers outside Cook's, which has created a part of his anxiety. This was BY FAR the best experience we've had. Including having labwork done.
