The Diabetes Collective, Rachael Sood, Diabetes Nurse Practitioner, Mandeville, Louisiana

Services

We are a Full-service Medical clinic with capacity for office visits, diagnosis, treatment, and prescriptions.

Accepting new and existing patients with Diabetes related illnesses ages 12 and up.

  • For when life is unpredictable, or transportation is limited, Telehealth or Virtual options might be easier for you. We are committed to providing our services to all the residents of Louisiana.

  • Prior authorizations through your insurance, renewal of Orders for supplies, paperwork/forms, and training with any of your diabetes equipment is always included. If you are my patient, you get the whole package, and no nonsense. No need for extra appointments or payments.

  • I don't require referrals from doctors to be seen. Once you are scheduled for a consult, you can send any relevant medical records via fax to (985) 202-8389 or just bring with you to your appointment. I do not require Past medical records either.

  • We are a certified pump training facility and can facilitate ordering and starting new insulin pump systems and specialize in Automated insulin delivery or aid.
