Premier pediatrics! Awesome group. Dr. Ubinger is ours but also love dr. Greene as well. Highly recommend them.

I agree with PAWS. My son sees Dr Tony there.
Jen K. replied:
Yes, we have seen Dr Tony before, too! Like him too!
Mikki D. replied:
I go to PAW, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. Dr. Tony is my doctor, and he was able to diagnose with me with a genetic disorder that no one else could figure out. All the doctors there are great though, I've seen most of them

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

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.

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.

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.
Jolyn C. replied:
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.
