  Does anybody know an AWESOME pediatrician who is FOR a Plant-based diet in Beltsville/Greenbelt/Columbia/Fulton/Laurel or near that area? I prefer not to go to Silver Spring/Rockville, but I will if it's a great doctor. Also, our insurance doesn't cover some of the ones I wanted to go to, so the more options the better. Thanks!

  Juliana, I just started using a plant-based pediatrician who was referred to me, and love him! I had appointments separately for each of my daughters, and they also really liked him. He is Vegan himself, and we spent quite a bit of time talking about healthy nutrition. He also initiated conversations with my girls about eating a proper diet, which I appreciated. The practice he is a part of has offices in Silver Spring and Rockville (sorry :-(), but it may be worth it to you, as I'm finding it very difficult to find any type of doctor in the area that agrees with a plant-based lifestyle. His name is Paul Porras, and the the practice is Children First Pediatrics. The number in Rockville is 301-990-1664, and the number in Silver Spring is 301-681-6192. Good luck. I hope you find something that works for you.
