Their phone is 810-385-9559. He comes highly recommended, is against routine infant circumcision, and he and his children are intact.
Are there any in the battle creek/marshall area?

Jessica, I live in Battle Creek and could not find any here so I drive to Kalamazoo. Melissa Davidson M.D. @ Healthcare Midwest/ Lifetime Wellness. 4613 W Main St. Kalamazoo, MI 49006. (269) 488-8672. She is a pediatrician & does internal medicine so she can see whole family. I take my intact son. Does not force vaccines but does suggest them but works with you. Very kind woman with great bedside manner.
DeleteHi Jessica,
DeleteI too am a client at the same office as you, but was just recently told we would have to vaccinate or leave the practice. Have you been told this and if so have you found a new DO? We are struggling to find any in or near Kalamazoo accepting new patients.
Kathy
Dr Ayala at Northside Pediatrics. We have been going to him since our 10 year old was maybe 2 or 3. He is great!
Deleteare any of these doctors vaccine free friendly as well?
ReplyDeleteSears has a list of vax friendly docs - http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/vaccines/find-vaccine-friendly-doctor-near-you We've had a tough time finding someone who fit all aspects of our baby-friendly ways, but then realized we don't really NEED doctor visits all that often anyway... they are only used when truly needed (once in 5 years?). :)
DeleteNewcombe I would never recommend. Her entire office is full of disrespectful staff. I was treated very poorly for my decision not to vaccinate as well. They gave me nothing at trouble. She may be supposed intact friendly (not sure about that), but they are awful else wise.
ReplyDeleteKostecke is intact friendly. She supports breastfeeding extended. She does not push vaccines and has no issue with opting out. She is not hypospadias friendly however, as she feels it must be repaired surgically. I do not share that belief, but other than that she is awesome.
ReplyDeleteA mother posted this in our Intact Michigan group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/IntactMI/) about her pediatrician:
ReplyDelete"I just told him up front, "my son is not circumcised and I want to be clear that you will not retract or push back his foreskin." He looked surprised and said "Oh, no. There is no reason for that!" And agreed with me that it's painful and damaging. He also is very supportive of our extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping, and gentle parenting, as well as being an excellent and knowledgeable pediatrician. He's always cheerful and gentle, and never rushes through appointments. He always asks if I have any more questions for him, and never makes me feel like a nut job for worrying over little things. He once told me "if you are worried about anything, just call us or come in. It's our job to make sure the kids are healthy and that you have peace of mind."

This doctor is father to an intact advocate, and grandfather to an intact son. He was the one who initially informed his daughter of "the lack of necessity and pain of circumcision."

He is knowledgeable and encouraging of boys being intact, is supportive of parenting decisions like breastfeeding until mother and baby are ready to stop, waiting until a minimum of 6 months until introducing solids and delayed vaccinating or fore-going vaccines all together. Very friendly staff at the office and he has a great bedside manner.
Is he still practicing here? Ive tried calling with no luck.
DeleteDr. Adams in Grand blanc. She's located on Saginaw st in Dr. Wendy Lawton's office. She also is the secondary doctor and is only in on Wednesdays or when Dr. Lawton isn't in. Also, Dr. Lawton is very vax friendly.
ReplyDeleteHow is Dr Lawton on other aspects such as full term breastfeeding, co-sleeping, intact care, etc?
DeleteDr. VanAlstine in Owosso, MI is also Intact friendly! Very knowledgable. He also supported me in my full term breastfeeding journey and while he supports vaccinations he does not pressure or judge my decisions on them. He is the only Dr I will take my kids to. :)
ReplyDeleteAre there any pediatricians in the Kalamazoo area that are intact-friendly and even maybe against circumcision? I've been to pediatricians in the past that have said it's fine to be intact but they aren't overly helpful when it comes to caring for the intact penis. I'm hoping to find someone who shares the same views as myself which is it's a cosmetic procedure and absolutely not necessary. Any tips are helpful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFrom a mother on the Intact Michigan chapter page:
ReplyDelete"My son's doctor is in Midland, Dr. Berg. I travel there from Bay City. I watched him like a hawk for the first couple exams. He told me that he knows not to retract. After that I fully trust him! His partners are great too. My son had an illness last week and saw another doctor in the practice, Dr. Esan and physician's assistant Michelle. They were intact friendly too."

For the second time at this practice (listed below), my son was retracted and my telling the doctor not to was ignored. The first time was when he was only a week old, and I switched doctors within the practice immediately to one I was told was intact friendly. Just yesterday, at his two month appointment, the 'friendly' doctor retracted him. :-( With each doctor on each occasion I panicked and told them to stop, and was ignored. Beyond being ignored, they actually continued to do so repeatedly while arguing with me, to 'show me they were right.'
ReplyDeleteI'm heartbroken and will be leaving the practice right away.

Dr. Eric Clark in Imlay City actually passed away quite a few years ago from a sudden brain tumor. He was my childhood doctor and was the kindest, most gentle and greatest doctor that I've ever met. It made me smile to see him on this list.
