First Time Mom Looking for a Great Pediatrician

I am looking for recommendations on a pediatrician in the north Broward area or even west central Broward who is great with moms exclusively breast feeding, cloth diapering and either delaying or spacing out vaccinations (this topic is still being researched and discussed w/hubby). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

What can I do next?

I use pediatrics associates. They're everywhere in S. FL. They have sick hours till 8 at night and are open on the weekends too. I go to the Hollywood office but you call the office near you and interview a peditrician there. Hopefully, you will find someone that you can trust.

I do all those things and my pediatrician is wonderful with support. She even encouraged to continue nursing when I found out I was pregnant again (my 2 younger kids are 20 months apart and I nursed until my middle was a little over 19 months).

Dr. Paschel her office is in Plantation. ###-###-#### it is a family operated practice. Very personal care.

I take my little one to Dr. Mizrachy at West Broward Pediatrics. They have two locations, one in Weston and one in Plantation.

All of the doctors there are great but Dr. Mizrachy is especially pro-breastfeeding (I exclusively breastfed for the first year) and is also open to discussing vaccination schedules. They have a schedule they use but I remember him asking us at our initial meeting how we felt about vaccines and I don't see why he would have a problem with cloth diapers.

They are open late on Wednesdays and on Saturday mornings and will stay late other days to see sick children. You can call and set up a preliminary "interview" which is what we did and we fell in love with Dr. Mizrachy and have had nothing but good things to say about the other doctors as well. Their number is ###-###-####.

Go to anyone else except Pediatric Associates! Dr Juan MArtinez in Weston is fantastic, and he is by himself! Love That!
