Review of Ashford Pediatrics

The pediatrician was knowledgeable and staff was accommodating but my beef with this office is that every doctor forces you to immunization your child on THEIR terms and on their schedule or, find another doctor. I won't allow any doctor to pressure me to vaccinate MY kids with extra vaccines I am uncomfortable with, or to give them too many at once. I've been down that road before and it is unsafe for my kids but these doctors don't carewhat's safe and what's not so long as you're on their schedule. I wanted to vaccinate my child with full immunizations but the doctor would not allow me to pace them out comfortably and safely. MY CHILD, MY COMFORT LEVEL, MY CHOICE. No doctor will tell me what choices I have to make with my kids. Their safety is number one and I know having five vaccinations at one time is not safe no matter what they want to try to convince me of. They even gave me a large booklet with horror stories of parents who didn't vaccinate their children, to make me feel guilty but I'm not buying into their ridiculous scare tactics. They forget that I am paying them and they are of service to me. Not the other way around! They also have a very confusing set-up for their hallways and rooms and they don't walk you to where you need to go. I went once and that was enough for me. I've since chosen another doctor who fully relates and doesn't try to bully me around with my own children.
