Pediatrician Scott, LA

Keeping Scott Kids Healthy, Active, and Growing

Life in Scott keeps families busy. There are school mornings, practices after class, weekend games, and family gatherings in between. Bares Pediatrics fits pediatric care into that schedule. From Scott, our Lafayette office is an easy drive straight down Ambassador Caffery Parkway, so it's simple to get your child in for a checkup, a sports physical, or a same-day sick visit.


Dr. Bares and his team believe the best care comes from knowing your child well. That means knowing their history, their health goals, and what makes them tick. Some children need little more than routine well-child exams. Others are managing asthma or a long-term condition. Either way, we give every Scott family the time and attention they deserve.

Pediatric Services for Scott Children

Sports Physicals

Before the season starts, make sure your athlete is ready to play. A sports physical lets Dr. Bares examine your child, check their overall health and fitness, and confirm they're prepared for sports or school activities. Book early so paperwork is done before the first practice.

Well-Child Visits

Well-child visits look at the whole child, including growth, development, behavior, and emotional health. Following American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, these checkups help Dr. Bares catch concerns early and keep immunizations current. They also give you dedicated time to talk through any questions.

Chronic Care Management

Raising a child with a chronic illness or disability often means working with many providers at once. Our chronic care management services give Scott families the information, help, understanding, and support they need. Dr. Bares serves as a steady home base for your child's care.

Specialist Referrals

Some situations require a pediatric specialist. Dr. Bares ensures your child is referred to the right one without hassle. Our team manages specialist referrals, keeping all providers informed and coordinated. Dr. Bares remains your child’s central point of contact, so nothing gets lost, and you always have a trusted source for questions.
