It was made very clear early on in the appointment he didn't look at my son's chart and I had no idea which child he was speaking about. My son was three months premature so he is the equivalent of a one year old right now but he kept suggesting things that were not age appropriate for him. He also help contradicting himself and when I made it clear I didn't want to vaccinate my son that day (he's home with me all day) he had checked out mentally from the appointment. I also did not appreciate the fear mongering he did when it came to vaccines. There was no attempt at giving me complete information regarding vaccination and just that I need to vaccinate my son or he's going to catch something that will give him liver damage. There was no mention possible side effects of vaccinating my son. While he was "informing" me he had me fill out a questionnaire so I had to split my attention between getting a sheet filled out and him. Maybe he did this on purpose so I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying but I heard everything. Quite frankly I'm shocked this man is a doctor. If he can't be bothered to read a chart or answer questions completely and just wants to bully mothers into vaccinating he has no business being a doctor. I hope he doesn't give another mother the same experience I did.
