Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong health, and our well-child visits are designed to keep your child on the right track from infancy through young adulthood. At each scheduled visit, our team assesses your child's growth, development, and overall well-being. We track important milestones, perform age-appropriate screenings, administer vaccinations, and give you the guidance you need to make informed decisions about your child's health. These visits are also the perfect opportunity to bring up any questions or concerns.

Keeping your child protected starts with staying current on immunizations. At our Lafayette ped center, we follow the latest immunization schedules recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our team will walk you through each vaccine, explain its purpose, and help you feel confident in your child's protection. We make the experience as quick and comfortable as possible, because we know immunizations can be stressful for both kids and parents.

The earliest weeks and months of your baby's life are among the most important - and we want to be there for every step. Our newborn care begins in the hospital and continues seamlessly into our office, ensuring your infant receives consistent, expert attention right from the start. Dr. Bares and his team provide thorough newborn examinations, feeding support guidance, and answers to all the questions new parents inevitably have. You'll never feel like you're navigating those first months alone.

The heart of our Lafayette ped center is our people. Dr. George Jude Bares leads a team of dedicated clinicians and staff who are united by a shared commitment to exceptional pediatric care. Each member of our crew brings specialized knowledge, a patient-first attitude, and a genuine love for working with children and families. We take pride in building lasting relationships with the families we serve —-many of whom have trusted us with their children's care for years.

When you choose Bares Pediatrics as your family's pediatrician, you're not just finding a doctor — you're gaining a partner in your child's health journey.
