PS--I also heard great reports from 2 families whose tots were Dr. Blinn's patients.

I lived in Middleboro when my baby was born (2006). We went to Stephen Mendes at Wareham Peds. He was tolerant of my delayed vaxing, though I don't think he'd encountered it much before. My daughter was his first homebirth patient. I...

My daughter went with me at age 2 1/2. Our (holistic) dentist will see kids if they aren't squirmy. She had been there with me often so it wasn't new or scary. The dental assistant and the dentist were great with her. For...
