I’m looking for a new pediatrician in Lakewood, I heard great things about his bedside manner, that he’s very experienced diagnostician and great w kids, etc. I’m considering switching from Shanik because I got threatened to be kicked out for asking too many questions about the vaccine schedule and wanting to delay my son’s vaccines at a well visit. Anyone know his stance on the vaccine schedule? I just want a provider who I can trust to have an actual discussion w me and not just shut me down for even questioning it… and it would also be great if he’s ok w doing a delayed schedule or just vaccines at 3-4 for school…

Terrible. No parent should be threatened to be kicked out for that. It’s your child your choice.

Yes I know! I was so turned off by the fact that the dr got so defensive and started talking about just like you feed your kids and put them in car seats, you vaccinate…. I’m not a full scale anti vaxxer and have used that Dr for all well visits for both my kids and my first was vaccinated by the book. They didn’t say anything when at 6 months w my second I asked to push off vaccinating for insurance reasons, but at a later visit when I asked questions I was made to sign an official refusal form that said I can be asked to find another provider if I keep being non compliant.

Does anyone use him and can clarify what work with means?

Yes he allows you to start later. He doesn't put any pressure. I've used him plenty of times he is very thorough and accurate. My kids love going to the doctor. I really really recommend him.

Thanks. Are there other doctors in the practice? Do you always see him when kids are sick or there are PA’s?

He’s a bit of an alarmist. He jumped to extreme things and always said everything needs a specialist. And when I asked a different doctor in the practice for a second opinion he was always wrong.

Well that’s what an alarmist is. I don’t know if I’d call that thorough.

I never got sent to any specialist and have been using him a very long time. He did recommend a montessori type of skl for my dc but thats about it. I've went to him with multiple children over the years. I love that I can make my own vaccine schedule and that I can contact him at anytime I have questions. I like that I see him everytime I go and not some random pa.

He worked for precious health and had to follow their standards. He also wasn’t there for that many years. I’m confused about what you are talking about. He didn’t work on his own until now.

lol as usual I started this thread about Dr Tyberg and most of the replies have been about another provider…
