I also recommend you get him medical grade medical compression hose...will help venous insufficiency that comes with age and help keep ankles from swelling by helping blood return to heart. Pod Sox is an online company I bought from at a medical conference. Work great. Crazy patterns though.

Dr Monock at Mt View Family Practice.

Please DO NOT take him to Dr Pal. He did nothing for my father and never listened. Dr Adisey took care of my ex who was 39 when he had a massive heart attack then bypass surgery. Dr Adisey is wonderful
Rachel P. replied:
Dr Julie Nelson at Premier Medical Associates is the best! She is an expert on medical issues, keeps up to date on all medical issues, really listens and never rushes me. She knows who to refer me to when I need a specialist . She is very easy to talk to, respectful and honest. She is located on Village Drive, off Penny Lane where Giant Eagle is. You can send any questions/concerns to her via email after you leave the office and she responds the same day! If you call, they get back to you the same day! If she needs to order any tests, I get the results the same day she does! Her phone #: 724-744-2500.

I am from Monroeville, and we recently switched to an office in North Huntington, but they also have offices around Pgh. They are vaccine friendly. My children were spaced out up until 9 months and haven't been since. I left my previous because they were going to fire us, haha. Check out their website here and call in to see if they have vaccine friendly doctors. http://www.pawkidz.com/
I see Katie Oldread at Sellwood Medical Center and she Seems fine with not vaccinating. She said they will ask at each visit in case we change our minds, but I haven't felt pressured at all
Kayla H. replied:
I live near West Mifflin and I have always taken my kids to Pediatric Alliance in a town called McMurray...the doctors haven't really been pushy at all but I only go if my kids NEED to go
Danyielle K. replied:
We are vaccine free in Pittsburgh (close to West Mifflin) and we see Dr. Tyson at Pediatric South in Mt. Lebanon is awesome. We go to well visits and he asks if I want any vaccines, I say no, and he says ok. That's it. He is very respectful of parents right to choose their treatments. He also doesn't give out antibiotics like candy either.
Diona M. replied:
Lots are getting fired from Ped Alliance. I second Dr Tyson. I go to Ped South Mt Lebanon office. Been our ped for 18 years. They are awesome and never push anything. I get complimented on my good mothering instincts.
Katrina S. replied:
I don't recommend Sellwood Clinic. It is SO difficult to get an appt. unless it's a well visit. Also, if you don't vaccinate anytime your child is even moderately ill they assume the worst and tell you to go to the hospital. While I can appreciate precaution, this last time I felt like they did it with an attitude. The best doctor at the clinic is booked out months and the doctor we saw was embarrassingly by the book. She literally couldn't get her head out of the binder of statistics and look at our children and their unique situation. I'm on the hunt for a new pediatrician.

Stefanie G. replied:
Vida Medical Center in Salem OR is "vax friendly" but the doc still asks about shots at each visit, I say "not happening!" And she doesn't push it.

Dr. Kevin Hatcher Ross in Vancouver, WA
Caitlin J. replied:
Monique Pritchard at Sellwood Medical Clinic. All the non vax families I know go to her.
Kimberly T. replied:

Can anyone recommend a good Vet? I'm fearing that my days off are going to include taking Lucky to the doctor to have this lump on his belly checked out.......
Dr Beam and Dr Lint they have taken care of all my animals the past 40 years and they treat them as if your pet is their own
Jennifer J. replied:

Carol B. replied:
Love Dr. Beam and Dr. Lint!!!
Mary M. replied:
I go to Dr Lint and the humane society. They have Tuesday hours like 1 to 6 and Saturdays 8 to 1. Double check the times. I like the vet there. But unfortunately the boys don't only get sick on Tuesday and Saturday so i go to Beam and lint any other day but Kelly Byerly Rowe is right they are very expensive.
Phil S. replied:
Dr. Beam on 119. Now it's his son-in-law Dr. Lint and him. Always take great care of my pups.
Maria T. replied:
Dr. Beam and Lint are the best in the area.
Christopher L. replied:
Dr Donaldson is very good but you can try Dr Selznick on 130 in Greensburg as well
Can Anyone recommend a good Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor preferably in n. huntingdon or somewhat nearby????

Sometimes she sees other Drs in their practice if Dr. Chi is not available. But she loves him so much that we usually go down to Lawrenceville to see him. Here is another number for them. 412-647-2100.
