Central Jersey - Pediatrician Recommendation in Princeton area?

[DAWNMP1]

Hi All,

We have a little one coming in November and are trying to find a petiatrician that we feel comfortable with in the Princeton area.   We are hoping to find someone who is receptive to a conversation about delayed vax and open to discussing natural and preventative healthcare, but don't know where to start. 

Anyone have recommendations?

Many thanks!

Hi!

I'm in Pennington, and work in Princeton.  We use The Pediatric Group in Princeton, but do selective and delayed vax.  I love it there, but it is more of your typical ped. office, other than I love the doctors and their care.  We had a horrible experience with Delaware Valley Pediatrics at Dr. Lilienfeld (as well as other doctors there), who is supposed to be the local holistic pediatrician.  They do allow selective/delayed vax there and are very accomodating to that schedule, but they make the schedule.  I just didn't like them at all!

My friend uses Dr. Suzuki here in Pennington.  He is a family doctor, and also supposed to be more holistic/natural minded. 

The doctor in the area that is most known for non-vaxing, natural-minded, etc. is Dr. Deborah Ginsburg (I hope I'm spelling that right).  She can be difficult to get in with though, so I recommend contacting her and getting on a list as soon as you can if you want to go there. 

Sorry I can't be more helpful.  Maybe others have better references...I only have who I've heard about, and who I've actually used.  Honestly, you are going to get more support on the natural healthcare/parenting front from local support groups like La Leche League, Holistic Moms Network of Mercer County (check their FB page), etc. than you might from a local doctor. (On a side note, I run the Central NJ Babywearing Group with 2 other mamas and we'd love to see you at a meeting with your LO in the near future!)

Early congratulations!! :)
