A Good Houston Pediatrician

August 18, 2006

Hello, all. A listmate from another group shared with me the name

of a Houston pedi she likes. We both are healing our children

through biomedical treatment and choose not to inject any further

vaccines or metals into our kids. My daughter had her first visit

with this pedi yesterday and I found him to be kind, gentle, and

informed. He is not a DAN! doctor and doesn't treat kids

biomedically. He is a pedi you would see for routine treatment and

care. However, he was A-Okay with my immunization

stance....absolutely no hassles on this. He only asked that I

provide him with a Texas Health Dept. Immunization waiver for her

records. He said he was concerned that when the insurance agencies

audit him they would see it as a failure on his part to vaccinate

and he could be penalized. He wanted the chart to reflect this was

my coice. Works for me and luckily I had ordered several copies of

the philosphical waiver to have on hand. Anyway, it was refreshing

to have a pedi just nod his head and say, " Okay. " rather than engage

me in a debate of vaccines and where is the double-blind, controlled

study, etc. If this is an issue for you, too, you may want to

consider seeing this doctor.

Also, he was open to ordering some of the more traditional lab tests

you need while treating biomedically. For example, you need to

monitor liver function while chelating or using Valtrex. This was

coming out of my pocket with the rest of my daughter's biomedical

care as we have Texas Children's Hospital individual coverage which

doesn't cover our DAN! doctor. I asked her previous pedi to please

run routine labs since the insurance COULD cover that. He refused.

This doctor yesterday basically said, " What tests do you need? " and

we went over 5 tests I thought a standard lab could perform and he

agreed. I would have spent about $900 all told on those tests.

Thanks to this doctor's open-mind the tests cost me a $25 co-pay.

So...hope this long posts finds someone who needs it!

Oh...important...my friend said his partners do not necessarily

share his views/attitudes, so you would want this particular doctor.
