Our story

In May of 2002, Doctors Anne-Marie Ardoin and Anne Boudreaux came together to found Preferred Pediatrics, a practice focused on providing attentive, personalized medical care to the children of this community. Preferred Pediatrics began its journey in a small converted home on East Sixth Street. Our practice grew with our love for our patients, and like many families we outgrew our walls! In 2008, we moved to our new location at 142 Rue Marguerite. We love our new office, and so will your children! We have two beautifully painted waiting rooms that are sure to brighten your day. Our castle room is dedicated to wellness visits, and our ocean room is for our patients that are feeling “a little blue.”

In 2010, we welcomed Mrs. Catherine Fangue to Preferred Pediatrics as our first nurse practitioner. A Thibodaux native and mother of two, Mrs. Catherine has been a wonderful addition to our work family!

The most recent addition to our family was in 2023 when Hayley Chatagnier joined us as our second wonderful nurse practitioner. Another Thibodaux native, Hayley and her husband have one child.

Our children are the future, and we care for each of our patients as if they were our own. Thank you for considering Preferred Pediatrics, and we look forward to walking this journey with you!
