The Pediatric Clinic - South

I am George J. Schwartzenburg, MD, FAAP, and I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself. Originally from Southwest Louisiana, I graduated from St. Louis High School and McNeese State University with a Bachelor of Science degree. I earned my M.D. from LSU School of Medicine in Shreveport, Louisiana and completed my internship and residency training in Pediatrics at Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans. In the summer of 1999, my growing family made Baton Rouge our home upon joining The Pediatric Clinic. I am board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and am a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. During my career, I have served as vice-president and president of the East Baton Rouge Parish Pediatric Society, as Chief of Pediatrics at Woman's Hospital and I am a current member of the Woman's Hospital Foundation.

Dr. D. Stephen Sanches was born and raised in Baton Rouge, LA. After graduating from Catholic High School, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from LSU. Dr. Sanches earned his M.D. from LSU Medical School in New Orleans and completed his residency in Pediatrics at Children's Hospital in New Orleans. Dr. D. Stephen Sanches joined Drs. Vick, Schwartzenburg, Kelleher, and Boudreaux in 2012, which brought him back to his hometown of Baton Rouge. He engages his patients and their families with a partnership-style approach in which he always welcomes discussion about each patient's health. His patients and families enjoy his attentive but laidback style of practice and he is known for offering both his "doctor advice" and "daddy advice." He loves the fact that much of his job allows him to act like the big kid he is and never misses a chance to be goofy with his patients. He also enjoys getting to hear all the progress his older patients are making in school, sports, and life.
