Pediatricians in RI open to gradual/delayed vaccination schedule?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

Hello, I am new. :)

 

Can anyone recommend a pedi that will work with parents seeking a more delayed and gradual vaccination schedule? Looking for anywhere in RI - open to southern Mass as well.

 

Thank you! I appreciate your responses.

We see Dr. Stokes in Westerly.  We do not vax at all.  We like him, he's pretty laid back and feels like it is ultimately the parents' decision which he respects.  Lately he's had a lot of breastfeeding literature in the waiting room too (he supports extended breastfeeding as well).

 

A lot of people around here also use Dr. Kupperberg in Foster.  He uses homeopathy as well.

We are non-vax (as of recent) and so I switched to Dr. Stokes because of a recommendation on MDC :)  He does support vaxing as well, he understands/supports both sides.

We see Dr. Griffith in East Providence. We follow a seltive/delayed schedule and he has been nothing but supportive. He's kind of a "mainstream" doctor but is also very laid back, very supportive of our vegan/natural lifestyle and is kind to my son.

We are doing a graduated schedule with Dr. McGonigle in Providence, on Gano Street. He is a wonderful, warm and accessible doctor with a whole family approach.

Dr McGornigle and Dr Rosenberg are both not accepting new patients :( any other suggestions on the East Side of Providence?
