About the Practice

Medical Marijuana Doctors of Louisiana provides comprehensive medical evaluations to qualify people in and around Metairie, Louisiana, for the state’s medical marijuana program. Peter Candelora, MD, a skilled orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, recognizes the value of medical marijuana for those suffering from chronic pain from diseases or lingering injuries. 

Dr. Candelora provides physical exams, medical history reviews, and diagnostic testing services on-site to qualify patients for medical marijuana therapy. He can prescribe marijuana as part of a chronic pain management plan to treat many chronic pain conditions, including arthritis, cancer, and multiple sclerosis.

Medical marijuana may also be a natural and alternative treatment for mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and eye conditions like glaucoma.

In addition to providing the initial medical evaluation, Dr. Candelora sends prescriptions directly to dispensaries in the state for easy and convenient pickup. He also monitors patient progress with medical marijuana to ensure the best possible outcome.
