Vaccine Information

As medical professionals, we confirm that vaccinating children on schedule with currently available vaccines is absolutely the right thing to do for all children and young adults. We confirm that based on all available literature, evidence and current studies, vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities. We confirm that that vaccinating children and young adults may be the single most important health-promoting intervention we perform as health care providers, and that you can perform as parents/caregivers. All of our own children have received each and every recommended vaccine according to the recommended schedule. We would be happy to discuss concerns or questions, and would be happy to share information based on scientific study and data-gathering on millions of children by thousands of our brightest scientists and physicians.

In order to protect our current patients who for medical reasons are unable to be vaccinated, we will no longer be accepting any patients that do not vaccinate. If you should absolutely refuse to vaccinate your child despite all our efforts, we will ask you to consider finding a different practice that shares your views. We do not keep a list of such providers, nor would we recommend any such physician. Please recognize that by not vaccinating you are putting your child at unnecessary risk for life-threatening illness and disability, and even death.
