Hi. My son got his 2-month old shots when he was almost 3 months old. We're going back with the intention to slow down the vaccines (just to be safe - we're still going to get him vaccinated). Does anyone know of a good pediatrician in Snohomish County who's open-minded and non-judgmental about alternative vaccine schedules? Like maybe in Lynnwood or Everett? My pediatrician is wonderful with our baby. But he's too dismissive of what he doesn't agree with. I'm not sure I want to switch but I'd like to have recommendations in case we need to. The doc was rather unpleasant the last time. If you know of a good one and you live in or near these areas, please let me know! Thanks.
Dr. Celia Dastvan, at Providence Physicians Group on 128th STreet in SE Everett. She is also Naturopath friendly.

My daughter and I go to Dr. Brandy Ross at Moonrise Health & Birth. (www.moonrisehealth.com) She is both a midwife and a nauturopathic physician who teaches at Bastyr University. She is very okay with us not immunizing our girls (a decision I always get treated like a child about with other health care providers), but she is also very knowledgeable about the latest information on what shots to give when, picking and choosing, which have fewer reported bad outcomes than others, etc. She's very intent on giving you all the info and letting you make an informed decision for your child. When my daughter was sick she told me what medicine I could give her as well as what homeopathic treatments I could use. I totally trust her, and she's just plain nice, too!
She's located in Lynnwood in the ActivSpace building at Hwy 99 and 164th St.
I take my daughter to Everett Clinic in Silver Lake. Our doctor, family practice, isn't taking new patients. However, I love Dr. Alan Carter and Dr. Martinez-Lemke (sp?). We've seen both and they've never been judgmental.
I love The Everett Clinic in Mill Creek, just down the hill from Walmart on 164th in Mill Creek Town Center. We've seen several different doctors there and never received any bad feedback about our decisions. And we don't vaccinate at all. They just remind me that they believe in them! I was even told if we weren't going to vaccinate that we didn't need to bring them in as often as other babies and children. Some of my friends really love Dr. Sara Tamarin there, I haven't seen her personally. But I like everyone else I've seen there!
