Dr. Cassandra Pillette

Board Certified Family Medicine Physician: Ochsner Lafayette General

A self-described Lafayette home girl born at Lafayette General Hospital, Dr. Cassandra Pillette was inspired to join the medical profession after seeing the dedication of the nurses and doctors who worked to save her grandfather from an emphysema diagnosis. The devotion offered to her family through that difficult time instilled within her a drive to help care for her community through awareness, approachability, and compassion. A proud alumni of Northside High School, Dr. Pillette graduated Summa Cum Laude from Xavier University of Louisiana, with Honors in Chemistry before obtaining her Doctor of Medicine Degree from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Upon graduation, she returned home to Lafayette where she completed her residency at University Medical Center. Serving her Lafayette neighbors for the past fifteen years, Dr. Pillette is proud of the lifetime bonds that her profession has offered her. To be an instrument in improving the health of her community affords her the profound opportunity and honor to leave a legacy that will surpass her existence.
