I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good physician in the nashville or surrounding areas that would see my child despite the fact that we do not believe in immunizations. I have very strong opinions regarding immunizations, so please do not respond just to tell me that they are now safer. I just want a good doctor for my baby who will respect my beliefs. Also, my baby will be on Americhoice when he is born, so that is another issue.

I don't know if they are an Americhoice provider, but I would highly recommend Pediatric Associates of Franklin.
Good luck!
Dr. Keith Thompson at Rivergate Pediatrics is very good with my children. He does keep us informed of the newest information about immunizations, but he is very respectful of our decision to not immunize.

I take my daughter to Dr Tim Henschel at Mercy Children's clinic in Franklin. He has been very respectful of our wishes to not have her immunized. He did talk to me about them and told me that he reccomended them, but did not push me to have them. They also take Americhoice. I know it's a bit of a drive, but they are an excellent clinic and are affiliated with Vanderbilt Children's hospital. Their # is ###-###-####. I would reccomend Dr Henschel specifically because he believes in many forms of alternative medicine and is supportive in that area. The other doctors are nice, but not as progressive.
Hope this helps.
