Tucson Pediatrician rec?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

We have been seeing a NP at a family practice office for the past 3 years.  We loved the NP but she has moved and we are stuck seeing the regular Dr now.  She informed me today that she can no longer see us because we selectively vax and she is strongly against it.

 

Can anyone recommend a Ped that isn't on the NW side of town?  We are in the SE corner of town and driving up to Ina just isn't going to happen. (To see Dr. Bean as so many have recommended)

 

TIA!

We see Janel Lloyd at Catalina pediatrics. Ft. Lowell and Swan area. Although she believes in vax, she doesn't harass me that we don't vax.

We see Janel Lloyd as well, based on several recommendations from people here and IRL.

 

Before we switched, we were at Tanque Verde Pediatrics with Sandra Herron. I loved her, and we only switched b/c of our insurance. However, when we made our first appointment there, we got a stern letter in the mail about how important they feel vaxes are and that if you don't want to stick with the recommended program, find another practice. HOWEVER, Dr. Herron didn't push me to give DS the chicken pox vaccine and with some of the other infant ones she delayed b/c he was sensitive and reacted. Unfortunately, I did have to vax him b/c he was in foster care at the time, so I don't really know just how lenient she would be able to be with no vax at all. You could schedule a consult with her and talk to her about it in private, and actually I'd recommend doing that with whichever doctor you choose. It's less stressful than showing up for an emergency/sick visit and then finding out they don't support your parenting choices.
