Our Philosophy of Care

Our practice no longer accepts families who refuse all immunizations due to the risk that unimmunized individuals pose to others.  Our immunization schedule takes into consideration recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.   

Thanks to immunizations, diseases that were once fatal and devastating to children now rarely affect them.  Herd immunity, a critical level only reached through widespread immunization, protects newborns and other immuno-compromised individuals from terrible, preventable disease.  Learn more about the safety of immunizations from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
