ABOUT DR. ARNAUD

Dr. Arnaud was born and raised in the heart of Cajun Country: Eunice, Louisiana. He attended undergraduate and medical school at Louisiana State University (LSU). While in medical school, he was in the top five percent of his class and elected into the most prestigious medical school honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA). He served as president of the organization for his class, but he will tell you his greatest accomplishment of medical school was meeting his wife, Dr. Karen Arnaud.

He completed his Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency training at Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN. While he was there, the program was voted as the number one training program in the country for three years consecutively. Vanderbilt performs the most Cochlear Implants in the Western Hemisphere, so Dr. Arnaud trained at the highest volume center in the country, and he believes practice makes perfect.
 
Dr. Arnaud currently resides in Arrington with his wife, golden retriever (Finn), and son James. He enjoys playing sports, cooking Louisiana favorites for friends and family, and cheering on the LSU Tigers. He is excited to be a part of the community at MMC and provide compassionate care to the people of Murfreesboro.
