Ochsner Health Scales Up Pediatric and Women’s Services at The Grove Facility

For families seeking pregnancy or gynecologic care alongside pediatric services, the practical change is a broader range of care at one location, though the announcement does not specify which services the two new obstetrician-gynecologists provide.

What the expansion includes

Ochsner added eight physicians: six pediatric doctors, including two general pediatricians and specialists in gastroenterology, cardiology, urology, and neurology, as well as two obstetrician-gynecologists. The health system also added more than 100 team members and expanded examination and treatment areas.

The women’s health announcement is brief on specifics. It does not describe the OB-GYNs’ clinical focus, whether they provide prenatal care or deliver babies, or how quickly new patients can be seen. If you are considering the clinic for pregnancy care, those details are worth confirming directly before changing providers.

What families can check before booking

For pediatric care, Ochsner says The Grove serves children from birth through age 18, with routine wellness visits, same-day sick care, and treatment for complex conditions. The clinic offers in-person and virtual appointments, including same-day and next-day availability, and lists extended weekday hours and Saturday morning hours.

For women’s care, ask which appointments are available at The Grove, whether a clinician is accepting new patients, and how prenatal visits, testing, and referrals are coordinated if you are pregnant. If you already have a care team, clarify how records and ongoing treatment would transfer. The announcement describes expanded access and space, but does not provide insurance details, appointment wait times, or a list of women’s health services.

When you call, a useful next question is: “Which pregnancy or gynecologic services are available at this location, and what should I bring to my first appointment?”
