Looking for good natural health pediatrician

Hi!

 We are in the stage of pregnancy where we have to find a  pediatrician. But I want one that won't force vaccines on me, and will give herbal recommendations for problems that come up or pressure points etc..

Suggestions??? Help!!

 Any part of the orlando area.... we live in Sanford but I'd be willing to travel.

Re: Looking for good natural health pediatrician

  • I'm also interested in this.. I am still on the fence about vaccines, I am not looking forward to going to a traditional pediatrician and having them make me feel like I'm a bad mom for not wanting them..
  • Hi, I have heard really good things about Dr. Franz. Here is her contact info. She is the only one that I have heard will space out the vaccines and was also told he will recommend natural remedies...

  • I don't know about herbal remedies but DS's pediatrician is awesome about vaccines. She said I could space them however I wanted and never ever gives me any hint of grief when I deny any of them or postpone one.

  • exactly!! I've seen to many friends with babies that get pressured or made to feel stupid for wanting what they want for their kids.

  • I'm curious, do you have an obgyn that is also interested in natural health? I would love to find something like that.
  • Well I am going to a birth center with 2 midwives there, and in the same place they have a chiropractor and acupuncturist on staff. They are all very into natural health and have a wealth of knowledge and info for things to do while pregnant that are herbal based or just common sense :) I love them tho! Wouldn't trade them in for anything!

    Here is the link to the site so you can check them out:

  • I live in the Sanford area and would love any recs that you find.  We moved here 8 months ago and I have not found a pedi that I really like.

    We currently go to Lake Mary Pediatrics and they have let me space out vaccines, but the staff there has awful attitudes.  The doctors are really good.  They are not "quick" to prescribe meds for every little problem.

     I was going to Physician Associates in Lake Mary and the doctors there were extremely rude and refused to let me space out vaccines.  They wanted me to give my daughter 6 shots at her 1 year appt including the MMR..the doctor told me I could either leave the practice or space them out at the health dept.  I left.

  • Wow you've already been through the gambit!

    I'm going to meet with Dr. Cannizzaro in Longwood this coming week and then also meeting with the Franz Center in Orlando.

    I also just came across these people in Maitland, they have a statement on their site that they will not pressure you into vaccines, but that they respect parents choices. Could try them?
