Tri County Pediatrics. They have 6 locations--I know there is one in NE Philly, Elkins Park and on Huntington Pike, but not sure where the other 3 are.

We do the delayed schedule so that ds doesn't get so many shots at one time. We go to Trappe Pediatrics in Collegeville. They have been very accomodating to our schedule.

I'm interviewing Pediatricians too and this is always my first question when making appointments. So far I've found the following doc's in our area who are willing to accommodate a flexible vaccine schedule:

Gordon Klinow Pediatric Associates
950 E Haverford Rd Ste 107, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010
(610) 527-4715

Dr. Soapas
Drexel Hill Pediatrics https://drexelhillpeds.com/
5030 State Road, Suite 2-900, Drexel Hill, PA 19026
(610) 623-9080

Dr. Wenonah Nelson
864 County Line Rd # 1, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010-2516
(610) 525-0560

Dr. Weiser

23 E Wynnewood Rd, Wynnewood, PA  19096-0395
(610) 896-8009

DH and I want an alternative vaccine schedule, but after a few pediatricians recommended we read this article (The Problem with Dr. Bob's Alternative Vaccine Schedule), we came up with a combination of the Dr. Sears Schedule and the AAP schedule to answer the concerns that some vaccines were being pushed too late. (We're going to use Robert W. Sears, "The Vaccine Book" 2007, Modified to apply Dtap, MMR, Polio as the AAP schedule recommends.) The most vaccines they will receive this way is 4, and it's not until they're five years old and much bigger. Five and six shots at 2, 4 and 6 months old just seemed unreasonable to us (the AAP recommended schedule), given the aluminum content and the shock to the immune system 5-6 vaccines at once must be for an infant (think about what one flu vaccine does to the avg adult.)

Just something for you to consider. Let  me know if you find any other docs in Montgomery County willing to accommodate flexible vaccine schedules. I'm going to start looking at "Family Doctors" next, because I think it would be easiest if Baby, DH and I could go to the same guy if we catch something and need a prescription.
