Dr. Vanessa M Mayol, MD

I liked Dr. Mayol at first, but over time have had numerous issues with the care. If you are nursing, she might not be your first pick as she told me numerous times that I needed to wean my baby. She freqently questioned with a sense of doubt, "do you still have milk?" During a ear infection, she prescribed an antibiotic (ezythryomycin) that caused severe vomiting, followed by my baby catching 2 stomach infections. I think the antibiotic messed up the good flora in her stomach. She never suggested probiotics during the antibiotic course. I later started this when I heard about it from another doctor in the practice. At her 15 month check, by baby was very underweight. I asked for a referral to a nutritionist and a GI.She basically had no names to refer to me. My daugher drinks very little milk, and she failed to suggest calcium supplements until I asked about it, i.e., she didn't think of it on her own. Again someone else in the practice later provided me with names. I was shocked… that she has no good referrals to help parents out. I am now switched practices as I am tired of trying to be a doctor and a parent and need someone who will pay attention to the details.
