Services
Well Child Visits
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.
Immunizations
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.
Newborn Care
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.
