Yep, that's right. A few days after P's 9 month appt we got a certified letter stating that after Feb 17 he would no longer be our pedi.

Some of you ladies may remember the post I made about him really pushing solids on us, which until just this last week we could NOT get P to eat/swallow at all.

Apparently us choosing to not give P fluoride supplement and not vax her has made things "too difficult" for him and we're in the "like 1% that doesn't want these things" so he dropped us. (Until the fluoride he was 100% okay with us not vaxing and never stated it being a problem). What has really burned me is despite us telling him our concerns with her intolerances (they are charted) he never sent us to do any other testing or see anyone else about possible underlying issues of her low weight/head % and just threatened ftt when I told him that I just couldn't get her to swallow the food... mind you she has grown 1+lb a month since birth, is 2.5 times her birth weight at 9 months, and made a good jump from 6-9 months in her head circumference (he never ordered any scan either). If he was soooo concerned then why the heck didn't he do something? I would've been fine with that but until all other things are ruled out I just couldn't justify forcing P to go hungry so she would eat solids when she still had the tongue thrust reflex and I couldn't get her to swallow any food anyways! (No I never said anything about going to a specialist... seriously every visit was spent with me just trying to ask him about other things we could do to encourage her and even asked what foods might be best for calories/fat to "really make them count"... I just never thought of asking that).

I AM a tad relieved because her appts made me SO anxious and I always left fuming mad, but now we're forced to find a pedi out of town, over 2 hours away, b/c NO pedi in our area will accept new patients that don't vax 100% on schedule.

Sometimes, like times like this, I utterly hate where we live.

And of course now P is sick to the point that I need to take her in. We do still have him till the 17th so I am covered for this visit but UGH this is so frustrating.

ETA: I should clarify that upon starting to see him he said he was fine with us not vaxing & has other patients that don't vax either. We didn't have any issues until 6 months came and we "needed" to start P on solids. That's when ftt was threatened and our appts became such an issue.
