Does anyone know a pediatrician that follows or supports Dr Sears' Alternative Vaccine Schedule? Preferably in the East County area but I would be open to other parts of the county as well. Thanks in advance!
Our pedi follows the traditional schedule, but has no problem doing an alternative schedule if that's what the parents want. His name is Dr. Nelson and he is w/Kaiser.
We, too, are with Kaiser (Dr. Dao) and really didn't "look" for a pedi who went with the Alternative schedule. At his first appointment we just told her that was what we were following and she went with it. She suggested a few changes/modifications but we didn't want to change it and she was fine with it.
I highly suggest being 100% comfortable with your pedi though. This goes beyond them accepting/going by the alternative schedule. So if you find one that you don't absolutely love don't feel bad about getting another one I know this wasn't part of your question but I thought I'd throw it out there!
