I am due with my first in January. We are new to the area and need to find a pediatrician for her. Prefferably this MD, DO would practice in the NE valley. I am looking for someone who is willing to take a "watch and wait" approach and not jump to antibiotics at the first sign of a red ear, cough or fever. I am also looking for someone who will be flexible with the vaccination schedule and allow us to order preservative free vaccines. I appreciate the value of medical care in crisis situations, but I also appreciate the delicate balance within our own bodies and our ability to heal ourselves in many cases. I'd like a pediatrician with a similar mindset. I hope that makes sense??

What can I do next?

Hi D.,

My son's pediatrician is Dr. Milionis on 7th St & Bell. He is awesome and very understanding. I switched to him when my son's initial pediatrician would not approve the homemade baby formula that I wanted to feed him because I could no longer breastfeed. So I took him to Dr. Milionis and he not only approved the formula he took a copy of it because of how impressed he was with it. He also was very understanding about me not wanting to give my son vaccinations until he was older. I am not sure about the preservative free vaccines so you would have to check with him and if you could tell me a little bit more about them I would greatly appreciate it. Hope this helps. If you need his phone number just let me know. Have a great day!

I have heard great things about the peds. at Camelback Pediatrics on Camelback near 40thSt. I know Dr. Strubble is great! (she works there) I am not familiar with her philisophies on vaccinations, etc. but she seems like a great ped.
Good luck.

You don't say exactley where in the NE Valley but we use Pediatric Associates @ 7600 N 15th Street which is 16th street between Northern and Glendale just off the 51. They are a 24/7 facility and are wonderful. Our nephew goes there as well as a number of friends that we have referred and no one has ever had any problems getting in. We have seen Dr. Kelly, Dr. Lauer and Dr. Padrez and have had nothing but good experiences.
