I'm looking for a pediatrician who would be supportive (or at least not hassle us) about delayed/selective vaccination and looking at the recommendations in other threads, it appears that none of the most recommended pediatricians are covered by my health plan. I'm currently with Community Health Plan of Washington, Healthy Options plan. I have Medicaid, so if you know of a pediatrician that you would recommend that is with a different Medicaid covered plan, let me know and I can see about switching plans.

So here is the list of care providers that would be covered. Please let me know if you know anything about any of them. Anything that would help me to narrow down the list would be helpful. Thank you so much!

SAM SAID KEBLAWI, MD
CHARLES D BRICKNER, MD
SARAH E D'HULST, MD
PAUL N GRUBB, MD
STEPHEN R LUBER, MD
CHRISTOPHER J MOON, MD
RANDY A PONCHER, MD
MONICA M GERMAN, MD
TIMOTHY E CRUM, MD


There are also some out in the Valley, which isn't very conveniently located, but I guess if one of them was just awesome it might be worth looking into:

ANN M ROBERTS, MD
BRIAN LANE SIMMERMAN, MD
TAMARA LOU SIMMERMAN, MD
MAJ GREER STORMOGIPSON, MD
MARLA KAY STRUEBIN, MD
MICHELLE ROBIN MESSER, MD
BRUCE ABBOTTS, MD

BRUCE ABBOTTS is really really nice, don't know about his vax stance but I have met him on different occasions & he is just really kind & gentle.

I don't have personal experience with Keblowie, but several friends and relatives use him and really like him. Not sure on the non vax though, sorry! He is highly recommended though.

I used Dr Abbots when I lived in Spokane Valley and he was great! We saw his ARNP most often and her name was Teresa they were great about extended breastfeeding, I didn't tell them about co-sleeping...it never came up..at the time we did vax, so not sure about that. Very kind gentle peds
