After lots of research and prayer, I decided against vaccinating my children. My daughter is almost 4 and only had her immun. at 2 mo and 6 mo. My 1 year old has not received any at all. My first pediatrician did not agree with my choice and asked us to leave her practice, so since then, we have been seeing an osteopathic family doctor, but I am less than thrilled with her. I checked out another practice today, Tots and Tykes on S. University. We were there long enough to fill out new patient paperwork, and then I felt it best to leave. The waiting room had about 50 chairs and probably 80% were occupied. I did not feel comfortable taking my children to this particular practice for various reasons, so we left. Does anyone know of a clean, nice, pediatrician's office that accepts nonvaccinated children??? Thank you all so much.
Thank you so much to the two mamas who sent helpful advice. To the one who did not, I reported your post as inappropriate and it was deleted. I will begin researching these pedi's right away. Thank you all so much! Also, thank you to all the mamas who do not agree with my decision but don't feel the need to lambast me with their unsolicited opinions.
At our birth center many of our clients choose non-vaxing or delayed vaxing so we have suggestions for pediatricians all over the metroplex who are okay with this. Feel free to email me so I can pass this list onto you. It's too long to put on here.

We live in Keller but drive all the way to Arlington for a good pedi. She's ok with not vaccinating. And she is wonderful with the kids.

I see a family practice D.O. in North Ft Worth who is fine with our non-vaxing status. I actually called many Ped's in trying to find one---and finally found a great list I went off of ( I actually think its similar to Christy' list since my list came from my chiro's office--which is connected to her birth center!)
The most important thing seeing a list did for me was make me realize I did not have to compromise my desires for my sons health care just because some Doc's out there refused to see us.
So just know that you are not the only "odd ball out" in seeking this out and there are some great docs out their who could care less about vaccination status and just want to help kiddos be well!
