There is an excellent exploration here, of what the consequences are, of fearmongers leading the public to distrust scientifically-proven-beneficial vaccines. The article shows the pattern of how this doubt is accomplished, and what it's very-real consequences are in terms of human lives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_controversies

Mark P. replied:
He's not board-certified as an eye doctor, Steve. http://www.washingtonpost.com/.../rand-paul-has-another.../ In light of his thinking his eye specialty qualifies him to weigh in on vaccination issues, I think he might have to perform a little autoproctology to see himself shave. wink emoticon

I worked as an ophthalmic assistant for about five years and unless you need an actual pediatric ophthalmologist I'd say Appleton. I saw Dr. Gasoroeski when I was younger and any of our pts they referred in had great notes and wonderful things to say about their doctors

Dr.Kimball Main St Haverhill
Amy W. replied:
We go to Dr Dan Lee in Walmart too! Yes, they have Optimap technology to monitor the vessels in your eyes for early detection of things like macular degeneration and retinopathy but without that crazy dilation drop stuff. He's calm and patient with my 9 year old son who seems to like him. And he's quick to offer deals with contacts for the hubby.
Kathy L. replied:
Appleton Eye Associates. Everyone is so nice a great with children. Both of my boys had glasses and one has contacts. They were awesome and patient teaching him at a young age to put his contacts in

Allyson N. replied:
I take my son to Dr Lee at Walmart vision (yes it's in walmart but he's a real doctor) they have more advanced technology than other eye dr's I've been to, like a machine to test the vision without needing to do the eye chart test as well as taking photos of the insides/backs of your eyes each year to check for subtle changes. Maybe all eye dr's have this stuff now, I don't know. I like him though.
Bethany N. replied:
Appleton Eye Associates has locations in Newburyport and Amesbury. Dr. Kevin Gasorowski is not only my eye doctor but also my son's. He is awesome, uses humor and truly takes the time to listen!

My doc is a family medicine practitioner at Salem Clinic (vs pure peds) but he is AMAZING!!!!!! Dr. Eller is the best doctor I've had in my life because he asks for my input and trusts my instincts about my body and gives me several options to choose from instead of just telling me how I'm going to be treated for any given issue
