Although this Dr may sound knowledgable, she doesn't always give the best advice. She instructed me not to got to the ER unless my 1 yr old's fever reached 105 or 106. (That's way too high). This was the last straw with her. She is very cold and doesn't relate well with children. She threw my daughter's head around while examining her and lifted her up by her head (from a lay down position). I actually have a couple stories about her bad tactics but I won't go into all of them. This last issue of not wanting my dr to go to the ER until her temp reached 105 or 106 just threw me overboard. The ER instructed me to NEVER wait that long because babies can seize at around 104 degrees.
