What is a vaccine-friendly doctor?

Some parents choose not to vaccinate their kids. Others want to partially vaccinate. Some aren't sure what they want to do, and they want help figuring what will be best for their child. If you fit into any of these categories, you may have a hard time finding a doctor. I know where I live and work, in Orange County, California, we are one of the only practices that take such patients. Most doctors around here kick patients out of their practice for not vaccinating, or for asking too many questions. That's why I've created a database of a list of doctors who are friendly toward parents who want help with the vaccine decision or who want to delay or decline vaccines. The doctors listed here will have read, or be familiar with, my book and contacted me to have their practice listed here as a place such patients can come and feel welcome. All doctors here are either pediatricians or family practice physicians.

If you have a "vaccine-friendly" doctor, or know of one, who isn't listed here, please have them contact us at drbobsears@thevaccinebook.com to have their practice listed.
