...who is okay with not vaccinating?? The only two names I have come across are Dr. Minkus (our current ped) who is never available, and Dr. Ettner, who we tried, but it was a 3 hour wait for our schedled appointment and took a year to get billed! I know of Homefirst, but do not want to drive the distance. Any great peds who are ok with not vaccinating that you would recommend? Thanks ladies!
Dr. Evolve in Libertyville is great but does believe in some shots but for reason and only at certain times for the child but definitely not all of them. but your choice. also dr mercola in Schaumber is pretty famous.
good luck

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Elvove in Libertyville. He's totally worth the drive.
I also met with Dr. Minkus and Dr. Ettner, but ended up going with Dr. Cathy DiVinchenzo or Dr. Kathy Shepphard. They both are in a practice called Kids First Pediatrics along with another doctor and some nurse practitioners. They always seem to be able to fit us in for sick appts and they are open Sat and Sun as well as have walk in hours every weekday morning. They are located near Golf Rd and Skokie Blvd.

Hi L.,
My family has used Pediatric Associates of the North Shore for years. (I've heard great things about Dr. Minkus, but I know of others who've left him because he's so popular!). They have offices in Wilmette and Northbrook. Dr. Shoshana Waskow, a recent addition to the practice, is a family friend, and I imagine she'd be open to alternative vaccination practices, but I'd say call for yourself and see.
