Good pediatricians in Jacksonville FL??

[Jen78fl]

Hi all. Well I am in Yulee FL, near jacksonville. I am trying to find a good pediatrician who will be open to kids not receiving vaccines and not try to pressure me about it. Right now my kids are set up with a Dr David Weiss in Jacksonville, but I havent taken them in yet. I really dont even want to take my daughter in for a well baby check up for fear of being pressured about vaccines that I definitely dont want her to get. Does anyone have any names of pediatricians who wont push the vaccines? I appreciate all of your help!

I have heard amazing things about Dr. Miles at Progressive Pediatrics in Jacksonville. I don't live up there, but just attended a postpartum doula training at that office, and the local doulas were raving about her.

Progressive Peds isn't accepting new patients, but they are wait-listing. I'd also love to find a decent ped, naturopath, or other somesuch.

I just brought my one year old son in for his first visit with Dr. Barbara O'Reilly today and I was very pleased. Obviously I can't tell much from a single appointment but I feel pretty confident saying that she's flexible about vaccines. We've been trying to delay and break up the vaccines for my son, and she didn't balk.

Also, she seems to be supportive of homebirth, extended breastfeeding, and meatless diets. And she talked to me and played with my son for a long time, which was nice and unexpected.

She's located in Jax Beach (by the hospital) and her number is 904.246.0644.
