Pediatricians understanding about vaccine concerns

[Shell e]

Hi,

I'm expecting in August and would like to know of Pediatricians flexible with vaccinations and understanding of any concerns I might have near the South Shore area. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

These are from the Dr Sears site.  Dr. Levitan gets great reviews from the autism parents.  There's another down that way but the name escapes me.

the "cya" form they want families who do not strictly follow the cdc vaccination schedule to sign

I wonder why they even bother to have their info on the Dr. Sears website given their "vaccine policy"?

I've had that thought myself- and I don't know anyone that actually goes there to find out if he's nice in person, or something.  

Between my experience and what others have posted, I can give some thoughts on drs located in Carver, Halifax, Norwell, Pembroke, Quincy and Brockton.

I've found that most docs Harvard Vanguard are open minded about vaccinations.  You would have to ask each doctor (not the receptionist that answers the main number and not a nurse.) Check the link to see if there's one in your area.
