When I was searching for a pediatrician while pregnant I discussed my vaccine concerns with her and she agreed to follow a slow vaccination strategy. However when I showed up at her office for my son’s 2 month well checkup she completely changed her position when I reminded her I didn’t want to do some of the shots. She became extremely pushy and aggressive and dismissive of my concerns. She concluded the visit by saying if we didn’t vaccinate per the standard schedule she wouldn’t allow us to participate in her practice and told us we’d have to see a different doctor. I was forced to switch to a different doctor in the pediatric group. This type of parent bullying should never be used by a pediatrician. Kicking someone out of a practice for a differing opinion is shameful and shows a complete lack of respect for parents’ concerns. DO NOT use this pediatrician if you’re looking for a trusted health advocate for your child who will listen to and respect your wishes.

2 years ago this lady almost killed my granddaughter because of a misdiagnosisand refusal to run some tests we asked for then turned my son and dil into cps. Once cps got involved though my granddaughter got the tests she needed had surgery the very next day and is doing great now.
