Hi,
I am due at the end of May. I am looking for a Pediatricain that does not push their parents into having their child vaccinated without allowing the parents time to research the vaccince. Many news reports have me on edge!
Thank you,

Hi T.,
I see that you're in Larchmont, so if you're willing to choose a doctor in Greenwich, Dr. Paul Juan would be a good choice. He is with the Children's Medical Group at 42 Sherwood Place and his number is ###-###-####. Some members of La Leche League referred me to him. I did decide to vaccinate because my son is going to day care but Dr. Juan has patients who do not vaccinate. I am in the same position as you are, doing my research. You should read Dr. Robert Sears' The Vaccine Book. That's how I became aware of issues with aluminum in vaccines. When I spoke to Dr. Juan about this concern, he opened up the vaccine inserts. He also suggested spacing out the vaccines, so we are doing only one per visit.
If you don't want to travel to Greenwich for pediatrician appointments, you might try Full Circle Family Health in White Plains. I don't know much about the pediatrician there, but many of the practitioners there practice emphasize holistic medicine. The midwives there provided my prenatal care, although they are surprisingly pretty pro-vaccine for midwives. Full Circle has website you can find if you Google their name. Good Luck.
Hi. we take our son to the Continuum Center for Health and Healing, on 5th avenue and 28th street in Manhattan. Dr. Pamela Hops and Dr. Benjamin Kligler are the main family/pediatric doctors there. I've had my son there for 4 years, and they are very balanced between alternative and traditional approaches. We have only done one vaccine so far, and are taking our time, doing research, and working at our own pace. They are fine with that, and have been supportive with alternative approaches. They are not "anti" vaccine, or "proVaccine", they are pro parent making the choice.
I can recommend....

Dr Gomberg is happy to delay vaccines as I choose and he was able to split the MMR into the three vaccines for me. For something like chicken pox I said for me it was too new and I would reconsider at 2 years and he just agreed and noted it on the file. We discuss and then decide which shots if any at each appointment. My son hates the shots part (which is done in a seperate room) but is still happy to see Dr Gomberg in his office afterwards. His manner is such that my son doesn't hold a grudge lol
We LOVE LOVE LOVE our pediatrician

They are all MDS but Dr. Baskind and DR.Cowan are homeopaths and licensed in chinese medicine as well. They are not attached to their prescriptin pad! They also receive NO kickbacks from drug companies!
We are NOT vaccinating and good for you for having concerns and doing your research. In my opinion, it is the most crucial decision you can make with your child.
Anyway, they are all very supportive of our decision. I think it's a great practice.
Oh and I too go to the C. Center for Health and Healing. But I see Dr. Erlich for myself. It's a great practice as well and he apparently studied with Dr. Cowan.
