Pediatrician Recommendations in the Chester/Springfield/BF/Brattleboro area

[miranda_vt]

I am slightly discouraged after having a not so stellar experience this past week at Mt Ascutney hospital. I'm looking for recommendations for a pediatrician who is natural/holistic minded and open to no/delayed vax schedule.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.  I was wondering if you had any luck with finding a new pediatrician.  I am in Hartland.  My last visit to the pediatrician at Mt. Ascutney was also less than stellar. We're going back tomorrow and I'm hoping to have a better experience.  If not, I'll be searching elsewhere.  I've had a few recommendations for others but they are farther north (Wilder, Hanover); probably too far for you?

Have you tried Barb Dalton & Yolanda Lawrence, on Wall Street in Springfield?

Nice folks over there, I hear. I've been meaning to check them out and see how their office actually operates...

(I do know Barb personally, and she IS awesome- I just haven't tried her as a doctor yet)

Thanks for the recommendation.  I tried calling them when I was pregnant but they were only accepting new patients who were pregnant and who wanted them to deliver their babies.  I had other plans.  I should call again though.  Thanks for that recommendation!

Sure! I'd forgotten about that- we home birth, so that was the reason I haven't called them before- I heard a rumor recently that something changed, and they do now accept families who did not birth with them- but who knows, maybe they've filled their quota while I've been dragging my feet...

Good luck with everything!

Thanks!  Same here.  I'll have to give them a call and see what they say.  Good luck to you too.  Thanks for your help.

I know this post is old..but just in case you're still looking, we take our whole family to Cheryl Proctor at Biologic in Brattleboro.  She's a naturopath...and amazing with my kids. VERY no/delayed/selective vax friendly (they actually won't even do them there)...always relies on homeopathy first but isn't afraid to resort to western medicine if the situation warrants.  Hope this helps!
