The thing you should know about me is that I'm uber-picky when it comes to doctors! I want to be completely and totally involved in the healthcare of myself and my children. I do not stand for the "just because" answer.
I have to trust my doctors and I love consistency of care.
I have to believe that they really want to take my concerns into consideration when they make my medical decisions.
I'm not "against" modern medicine by any stretch of imagination -- I vaccinate, I will not put my children at risk for the sake of alternative medicine, but I am cautious and minimalistic - I don't take all medical advice as gospel.
I believe in knowing your own body well (just one of many reasons why I love NFP!).
I can be skeptical and I do my research.
That being said, perhaps you'd be interested in my personal recommendations?
Pensacola Pediatrics - Dr. Amy Foland, she is as sweet as can be, has formed trusting relationships with both myself and my children, she is very thorough, she gives me all the information I need and is not judgmental when I question things (alternate doctors I like if Dr. Foland is out: Dr. Dean or Dr. Beasley, or Dr.Cubbs - NOT Dr. Linga) - 850-473-0100
Dr. Andrew Taylor (Dentist) - 850-478-8005 - Jen is my hygienist and she is really great!
Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Laura McAuley - 850-505-9778. Again, amazing with the kids as all the hygienists there are. She goes by Dr. Laura for the kids which is kind of nice and less intimidating for the little ones. She has 4 children of her own which says a lot in my book!
OBGYN, Dr. Jarian Duke (or second choice would be Dr. Lile, Lyle sp?) - 850-416-2550 - All the things I have stated I need in a doctor, she's got! I love having a female OBGYN!
I like all of my doctors a lot and I've been going to them for 3 years, so I feel good recommending them. Check them out!
