Seeking Pediatrician in Chandler/Gilbert Area

Hi,

My name's A. and I too have chosen to not immunize. My son is 16 months old and he has never been sick. I attribute this to his lack of shots. We have a wonderful doctor who not only delivered my son at home but is a wonderful pediatrician as well. She is very supportive of the decision to not immunize. She once told us that 75% of her young patients have never been immunized. Her name is Farra Swan and her address and phone number are: 2435 e southern, suite 8, tempe, az 85283; ###-###-####.
Dr. Swan will be delivering my new baby at my house in September as well.

I use Dr. Amin and she is at Higley and Southern. I really like her and they've never given me a hard time about not immunizing. Her number is ###-###-####. She is also very good at trying alternative options before medicating. Hth.

Hi K.,
I too am a RN, luckily for me I work in Postpartum so I get to meet a lot of the Peds in the area. The only ones listed below that I am not familiar with are Dr. Amin and Dr. Gause. All of the rest are great to work with and whichever is closet I would think would be a good decision. Personally I use Gilber tPeds and they have an office at Baseline adn Val Vista (Ithink) and one in POwer Ranch that we go to now. I do a revised schedule for vaccines and they have never given me any trouble. I believe in vaccines, but I won't do more than one in each arm or leg when they were real little. I don't do the MMR until after age 2 for my own silly reasons. Good luck in your search, there are many great doctors here and there are some I would recommend to stay away from, mostly due to office issues. None of them are listed here.

HI,
my pediatrician whom i love and have used for all three of my kids for 7 years now is Dr. Amy Shoptaugh at "all about kids pediatrics" We like yourself do not immunize and i found it very difficult to find a doctor that was okay with this and did not make me feel like i was being a bad mom for my choice. Dr. Shoptaugh has been great. She is located at Rural just off the 60. I live in gilbert but she is more than worth the drive.

Hope this helps you out :-)

I choose to do vaccinations so I cannot be sure, but I believe that our pediatrician supports parental rights (We are a homeschooling family and he is very supportive of that). We use Dr. Ronald Jones at Alma School and Warner. Their number is ###-###-####.

Since I am a vaxing mom, I'm not sure on my pediatrician's views, but you can always call and ask. I love their doctors, nurses and offices. I go to Mesa Pediatrics and they have multiple offices to choose from, Ahwatukee, Tempe, and Gilbert.
www.mesapeds.com They also have Saturday and evening hours.

I have Dr Lucherini at Power and Brown. I don't know if that is really far from you but he is wonderful and easy going. If you say no, he respects it. I have said no to him before and he didn't say much but okay. If you would like to meet him call ###-###-####. Good luck.

Our ped is Dr. Charles Martin at Val Vista and Frye. He is pro-vax but is very respectful of our decision not to vaccinate.

We go to Bill Gause at Mesa Pediatrics on Guadalupe and Greenfield. We do some of the vaccinations but not all. He has never questioned my choice.
