Looking for a Caring Pediatrician in Metro Detroit

We are looking to change pediatricians. Suggestions Please! My son is 22 months and our current office has nearly given him a double dose of immunization, has failed multiple times to record a medication allergy and in fact prescribed the allergy-inducing medication for a recent ear infection. Despite use of electronic health records the office seems to not be listening or recording crucial information for my son. I am looking for an office with one Dr. or nurse with an excellent track record of listening and proper documentation. I am not against keeping up on my child's records, but I think it's appropriate to want the Dr. and office to be accountable for accurate health info on their patients so prescriptions and immunizations do not do more harm than good.
We are especially interested in a Dr. with a holistic approach (doesn't rush to meds or surgery). We would be willing to go anywhere in metro detroit. Thanks!

What can I do next?

We take our 3yr old and 6 month old to Pediatric Care Corner in West Bloomfiled. There are five doctors in the practice and each and ever one of them are wonderful. They care about each child and are very passionate about their patients. I went in for a consulation before my 3 yr old was born to be sure that the final decisions in my child's care would be our decision. They do not pressure you into any particular care for you child. They don't pressure you into vaccines either. We did not want to vaccinate our children due to reactions we had while growing up to some of the vaccines.
The office is located on Haggerty just south of Pontiac Trail. Best of luck in finding a better pediatrician for your son.

I feel your pain. We're in the DMC insurance group so that limited us even more. Right now I drive a hour up to Milford (Northwest of 275/96), Huron Valley Pediatrics. I've met all 4 Dr.s, as they were the group that saw my infant in the hosptial. We switched from them because of the distance and how many times we'd have to visit in the first year, but now we're back. The one we switched to was not a good fit for us and the office staff were a problem as well as scheduling headaches. Also the Pedi was hyper about my daughters delay in development, drove us nuts. (and my husband is a doctor, so its not like we were ignorant of baby's needs or anything).

Hope you can find something closer to you, but if not they're a great practice!

The Dr I went with was a recommendation from my OB. It's the same Dr that he takes his kids to. Unfortunately, I see you're in Troy. Our Dr is downriver. Sadly, our lifelong family pedi passed away... I can't imagine anyone even coming close to comparing to him. However, the pedi we see now is the closest I've found so far. Dr. Andrew Dettore.
