Does anyone know of a good English speaking Paediatrician here on the island? My baby was born here, and I chose not to have the immunisations they wanted me to give him...

I am planning to hold a vaccination workshop/talk at Jans Olde Wolbers practice in Ibiza on 13 October (evening time) and once all confirmed, I will post the invite here in this thread, and on IWR in general.

Thanks so much Patrick! Xx Dominique Annaliese .. Firstly congratulations! I'm sure you are counting the days .... I wish you, and your baby a wonderful birth... Xxx I just thought I would wait for a while until my baby was a little stronger and I could really take an informed balanced choice about the vaccinations. My baby turned breech in my labour, and I needed a Caesarian section. The birth and recovery was very traumatic for both my baby and I, so I wanted to have some time away from hospitals for him and I, to heal from our birth story. The Paediatrician I was given didn't speak English, and as my Spanish is limited, I couldn't properly ask all the questions I wanted, or understand the answers so well. I decided to leave it for a while, and get to know my baby properly, before looking into it again. We have only travelled to London and Greece since his birth, so I felt he wasn't at any risk. We do travel a lot as a family, and that's why I now want to speak to a Doctor, who has a more understanding view of what immunisations are really necessary as a Global Travelling family. Obviously my baby's health is the most important thing in all of this..... And I would never want to put him at risk. I just didn't want to be pressurised into putting him through any more stress or fear, until I had given proper thought and research into what was best for him. Xxxxx

when my daughter started at San Carlos Spanish school, they needed a list of her vacinations.

Andreas palberg at Rosario hospital is a really good German paediatrician who speaks perfect English. We had an unrushed really long chat with him about vaccinations during our appointment. He will give you the best advice to his knowledge and respects the parents decisions on how to care for their children even if different from the advice he gives.

Dr Alfonso Galvan. He has been my sons pediatrician since birth 3 years ago and is now my daughters. Studied and worked in Uk and is Spanish. Cannot recommend him enough, he is so hands on and in no hurry to medicate your children. Often takes a natural, holistic route, if possible. Vaccination is very much a personal choice for your children, however, if too Many people choose not to vaccinate their children, the vaccines will no longer be effective and many diseases will return, such as measles etc. A certain percentage of the population needs to take the vaccine in order for it to have a "blanket" effect and work.

The best paediatrician we have ever found is Dr Andreas Palberg, he is based in Rosario and works most days. Not sure if he will be on tomorrow as it is weekend and will be an emergency paediatric GP. He is German and speaks perfect English and has looked after our 3.5 yr old since born and 10 month old since born. He is amazing!
