Expectant and Postpartum Moms

Hello,
I'm expecting my first child, a boy, in May. I'd like to find a pediatrician, MD, who is sensitive to naturapathic or holistic care. Any suggestions? Many thanks! |

Dr. Subramanian in Takoma Park.
Dr. Iona Razi in Georgetown. Dr. Matt Irwin in Old Town Alexandria. Dr. Margaret Sears in Columbia, MD. You could also start calling naturopaths, and see if any of them also do pediatrics or if they know anyone who does. Good luck! |
| Dr. June Fusner in Kensington, MD |
Dr. Fusner is an allopath. That said, she's fantastic and is not one to throw medication at your baby at the first sign of trouble. I find that she's got a great restraint when it comes to drugs and does not over-prescribe, but at the same time, she's not going to tell you to withhold tylenol if your infant is sick or needs pain relief. She is our pediatrician we love going to her. |
| We just interviewed with Dr. Fusner and we are going with her. We like that she incorporates both approaches into her practice - we also like that she works closely with Dr. Razi. |
| Thanks! |
