dismissive of concerns, quick to default to basic recommendations or causation without acknowledgement that basic recommendations have been attempted with no improvement. Repeats himself excessively and very condescending, will mansplain basic things about your own baby to you. \r\n\r\nI was struggling with extreme colic and he basically said it was a phase baby would grow out of, baby would wake every 20-40 minutes all night long. This went on for nearly 10 weeks before I sought other supports. Baby was diagnosed with GERD and infant allergies/intolerances leading to eliminating dairy/egg/soy from diet. This significantly helped. The registered dietician and lactation consultant were wonderful in providing the best EVIDENCE BASED information to support in eliminating things from my diet but being supportive that I still need to eat to produce milk. They talked me through the option of combo feeding and introducing formula if I felt overwhelmed by the current feeding dyad. When I returned to the ped for a follow up I explained everything that had occurred and we had implemented since meeting previous. He shamed me for putting my baby on reflux meds, used scare tactics to make me feel like I was causing long term damage to my baby, and was dismissive over the reported symptoms of my baby. When I said he’s in pain at night, he screams and us inconsolable he responded “seemingly in pain”. He also told be breast is best and not to even consider introducing formula, went on to lecture me about how inappropriate that would be before I finally interrupted him and told him to move on from that topic. \r\n\r\nWhen I asked if baby having significant mucous in stool or very loose stools and baby really crying and fussy when needing to pass stool but never just regular stools is actually normal he told me to cut out black pepper from my diet. I responded explaining the registered dietician and I talked about all of the foods and there’s just not a lot of evidence to support significantly eliminating so many things from my diet he basically called the evidence a hoax and told me the registered dietician doesn’t have the same level of intelligence as the global population of pediatricians and all pediatricians would agree with him (also not true after I sought a second opinion). \r\n\r\nHe also is yet to accurately plot my baby’s height and weight accurately on the growth chart. Always says baby is 50th percentile and baby is actually 70th and 90th. \r\n\r\nHe’s dismissive, condescending, and out of touch with current best practice. He doesn’t assess or treat as a mother/baby dyad (I.e., doesn’t consider the whole feeding dyad just pushes his beliefs of exclusively breastfeeding on you). He says a lot about what he knows but often it’s unrelated to your specific concern. He layers in some reassurance for you as the parent but it’s standardized and not specific to your concerns, feels scripted as though this is criticism he has received in the past. \r\n\r\nHe doesn’t respect other specialties in the realm of childhood development/feeding. He’s very conservative in his practice and it’s very much a doctor-led conversation. \r\n\r\nIf you leave your appointment feeling unheard, dismissed, or as if you were just lectured about his beliefs rather than a reciprocal and constructive conversation then he’s not a good fit for you and your baby.","sample_rating_pk":"5296542","customer_id":null,"appointments_available":false,"appointments_enabled":false,"appointments_email":null,"appointments_message":null,"appointments_thank_you_message":null,"accepting_virtual_appointments":null,"gallery_enabled":false,"rating_request_tools_enabled":false,"ratings_disabled":false,"doctor_location_hours":[],"is_promoted_doctor":false,"force_login_to_rate":false,"reviewed_ratings_only":false,"vanity_specialty":"","alert":null,"ranking":{"value":4,"count":8},"is_analytics_dashboard_visible":false,"doctor_locations_on_display":[{"id":801397,"primary":true,"verified":true,"source":null,"location":{"id":801397,"category":"clinic","created":"2014-06-13T10:37:49.369967-04:00","modified":"2016-02-10T22:28:14.557012-05:00","longitude":-64.951631,"latitude":44.986136,"slug":"ca-ns-sydney-habiba-ayman-dr","city":{"id":54,"province_name":"Nova Scotia","province_slug":"ns","country_name":"Canada","country_slug":"ca","cover_images":{"autoxauto":"https://cdn1.ratemds.com/media/locations/country/canada_1.jpg","253x83":"https://cdn1.ratemds.com/media/locations/country/canada_1.jpg_thumbs/v1_at_253x83.jpg"},"modified":"2020-01-26T19:54:09.766610-05:00","created":"2014-06-25T11:34:15.276909-04:00","deleted":false,"slug":"sydney","name":"Sydney","cover_image":null,"province":2},"suite_on_display":null,"name":"Habiba Ayman Dr","address":"Cape Breton Regional Hospital 1482 George St","suite":null,"postal_code":"B1M1","city_id":54,"phone_number":null,"website":null,"image":null,"images":{"77x77":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/clinic.png_thumbs/v1_at_77x77.8dbdd6486c65.jpg","70x70":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/clinic.png_thumbs/v1_at_70x70.8dbdd6486c65.jpg","165x165":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/clinic.png_thumbs/v1_at_165x165.7ed2777bc15f.jpg","100x100":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/clinic.png_thumbs/v1_at_100x100.c205560f7442.jpg","autoxauto":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/clinic.png_thumbs/v1_at_autoxauto.7ed2777bc15f.jpg"},"rating":{"count":0,"bestRating":0,"average":0,"value":0,"cleanliness":0,"facilities":0,"services":0},"url":"/clinic/ca-ns-sydney-habiba-ayman-dr/","geocode_address":"habiba ayman dr, cape breton regional hospital 1482 george st, sydney, nova scotia, canada, b1m1"},"location_id":801397},{"id":2104393,"primary":false,"verified":true,"source":null,"location":{"id":2094383,"category":"hospital","created":"2014-06-15T01:08:30.313283-04:00","modified":"2015-04-29T15:17:33.457942-04:00","longitude":-64.951631,"latitude":44.986136,"slug":"ca-ns-sydney-cape-breton-healthcare-complex","city":{"id":54,"province_name":"Nova Scotia","province_slug":"ns","country_name":"Canada","country_slug":"ca","cover_images":{"autoxauto":"https://cdn1.ratemds.com/media/locations/country/canada_1.jpg","253x83":"https://cdn1.ratemds.com/media/locations/country/canada_1.jpg_thumbs/v1_at_253x83.jpg"},"modified":"2020-01-26T19:54:09.766610-05:00","created":"2014-06-25T11:34:15.276909-04:00","deleted":false,"slug":"sydney","name":"Sydney","cover_image":null,"province":2},"suite_on_display":null,"name":"Cape Breton Healthcare Complex","address":"1482 George Street","suite":null,"postal_code":"B1P1P3","city_id":54,"phone_number":"9025678000","website":null,"image":null,"images":{"77x77":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/hospital.png_thumbs/v1_at_77x77.a4b5fa258b6e.jpg","70x70":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/hospital.png_thumbs/v1_at_70x70.a4b5fa258b6e.jpg","165x165":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/hospital.png_thumbs/v1_at_165x165.831ca232d56c.jpg","100x100":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/hospital.png_thumbs/v1_at_100x100.831ca232d56c.jpg","autoxauto":"//www.ratemds.com/static/img/locations/hospital.png_thumbs/v1_at_autoxauto.2e5b91e9d187.jpg"},"rating":{"count":0,"bestRating":0,"average":0,"value":0,"cleanliness":0,"facilities":0,"services":0},"url":"/hospital/ca-ns-sydney-cape-breton-healthcare-complex/","geocode_address":"cape breton healthcare complex, 1482 george street, sydney, nova scotia, canada, b1p1p3"},"location_id":2094383}],"display_ads_on_profile":true},"isLoggedIn":false,"selectPlanView":false,"bannerData":{"id":2,"message":"\r\n
