We had just moved peds. Both children my daughter 4 with sensory sensitivities and my son not even 1. For my son's 12 month check up she wanted to give my son 7 shots at this 1 visit!! My 2nd time meeting her. I told her I was not comfortable doing so many at 1 time. I was concerned about if he had a reaction we wouldnt know what it was feom. She said to me " mommy don't you want to keep your baby healthy". She knew she was making me mad. I told her I won't do more then 4 at a time. Come to find out she was trying to double his 12 mo and 18 mo visit vaccinations.....along with giving a few alternatives. Sometime later I had changed primarys we had her for a sick call for my daughter and she was upset with my daughter with sensory issues because she doesn't like being touched my strangers. I had to tell her to come sit down and talk to her for a min first. She is 4 tell her what you are doing....having to tell her how to deal with ped patients and her pushing to do so many vaccinations… at one time. I will not even allow her for a sick call for my kids

Very good with kids, would not trade her she knows her stuff!
