The LAFP is excited to recognize Bradon Weeks, DO, as our June Member of the Month. Dr. Weeks is in practice at Ochsner Health New Orleans. Dr. Weeks grew up in Houma and credits his parents, Russell and Jamie Weeks, for helping him through his foundational years and always encouraging him to do his best.
Originally, Dr. Weeks planned on practicing veterinary medicine, and majored in Animal Science at LSU. During his time at LSU, he participated in multiple Baptist Collegiate Ministry Mission trips to Mexico and was always on the medical team. That combined with relief work after Hurricane Katrina steered him to pivot to "people medicine" instead of vet school. He received his medical degree and Master of Public Health from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Davie, Florida, in 2011 and went on to complete his internship and residency at the University of Texas at Austin. After working in a Brooklyn, NY community clinic for 2 years after residency, he moved back to Louisiana and started working at Ochsner Health.
