I am so happy to get this list of Atlanta Vaccine Friendly Pediatricians out there to you guys!
Bạn đang xem: Anti-Cancer Mom
Many of these suggestions came from the experiences and research of wonderful and dedicated naturally-minded moms in the Atlanta metro community. Through our connections over social media and local meetups, we have been able to share our experiences about which doctors are accepting of our precious kiddos’ unvaccinated or delayed vaccination status and respectful of our wishes to care for our children in the ways we believe is best.
If you are looking for vaccine friendly doctors in other states, please see Dr. Sears complete list of vaccine friendly doctors.
If you are looking for Atlanta area holistic physicians for adults, you can check out my post on Atlanta Holistic and Alternative Doctors and Doctors for Cancer (and overall wellness.)
Feel free to post your questions, suggestions, and experiences in the comment section for myself and other moms (and dads) who come along!
And if you haven’t seen it yet, I am in the middle of an ongoing vaccine series on how we made our decision about which vaccines to give our children. You can find that entire series below:
Part 1: Our Vaccine Choice: Risks, Benefits, Responsibility
Part 2: Hepatitis B and Hib Vaccines
Part 3: Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis Vaccine
Part 4: Polio and the Polio Vaccine
Part 5: Pneumococcal Vaccine
Part 6: Rotavirus Vaccine
Part 7: Measles + MMR
Part 8: Mumps, Rubella + MMR
Part 9: Influenza Vaccine
Note: the best way to find a provider in your area is to use the search option on your computer (Command or Control key + F) and type in your city or a city near you. You can also scroll and search.
I update this post frequently, so if you have anything to add please leave a comment in the section at the bottom. It takes a village, especially when dealing with vaccine education and choice. 🙂

Brookhaven Intown Pediatrics
Brookhaven and Atlanta, GA
Dr. LaKimberly Price, MD
Deneta Sells, MD
www.intownpediatrics.com
Note: Non-and delayed vaccine friendly but you do have to sign a consent form (called and confirmed this with the very friendly receptionist.) **Update 2/21/2021: Intown Pediatrics are no longer taking delayed or non-vax patients.

Rainbow Pediatrics

Decatur, GA
www.rbkdoc.com/
Note: Only delay or select vax. Focused on optimal diet but does require four vaccines to stay in her practice: Hep A, DTaP, PcV and Hib (I called and received this information from the receptionist.)
****************************************************
Centrespring MD + Pediatrics
Johns Creek, GA + Brookhaven, GA
www.centrespringmd.com/pediatrics
Note: Holistic and integrative practice. Vaccine-choice friendly. Do not make you sign vaccine waiver. Very busy as Dr. Taz is a nationally recognized doctor and has an adult practice as well. Does not take insurance but you can pay for a monthly “concierge” membership which includes a number of sick and well visits.
****************************************************
All Worlds Health and Pediatrics
Roswell, GA
Dr. Arlene Dijamco, MD
www.allworldshealth.com
Note: Dr. Dijamco does not offer vaccination as part of her practice, and includes craniosacral therapy, homeopathy, herbal remedies, diet changes, and emotional considerations as suggestions and options for treatment. She does not take insurance but you can be reimbursed for any lab testing if needed.
All of the services I’ve received from her were reimbursable through the insurance-alternative we use, Samaritan Ministries.

Dr. Maia Walton, MD
Dr. Monica Scales, PHd
www.themwellnesscenter.com

Note: I’m impressed with the amount of holistic care they provide, as they are both mothers of vaccine-injured children. I will update with more as I hear from other moms. They have just opened their practice as of 2018 here in Georgia, moving from California. Lots to read on their website about their philosophy! They DO accept insurance but you will handle the bill yourself with the superbill they give you at check out. Their appointments are longer than a usual in-network doctor appointment (initial visit is 2 hours!)
****************************************************
Alpharetta Pediatrics
Alpharetta, GA
Laura Bleekrode, MD
Niccole Edwins, CNP certified in homeopathy and essential oils
www.alpharettapediatricsonline.com
Note: If considering non-vax ask to see the Nurse Practitioner, Niccole. Dr. Bleekrode is seemingly friendlier with delayed-vax parents rather than non-vax.
****************************************************
One Family Pediatrics
**Updated 7/2020: Just got word that they are no longer taking unvaccinated patients. Call to confirm.**
Cumming, GA
Dr. Hiral Lavania, MD
www.onefamilypediatrics.com

****************************************************
Sunshine Pediatrics
Dr. Dana Hogan
Watkinsville, GA
www.sunshine-pediatrics.com
Note: Dr. Hogan considers herself a “holistic” pediatrician and does include dietary allergen testing as part of her practice. She is slow to prescribe antibiotics as a first option for treatment but does use vaccines as part of her preventative care.
**Update: 2/21/2021. I have gotten a few reports that Sunshine Peds is no longer serving unvaccinated families. I called and asked if they would take a delayed vaccine or non-vaccinated child as a new patient and the very kind receptionist said that “they are currently not accepting new patient on a delayed schedule but are serving current patients.” She was not sure if they are going to reopen to new non-vax or delayed patients but they WILL take families who will fully vaccinate on the CDC schedule.
****************************************************
All About Kids Pediatrics
Lawrenceville, GA
Jill Overcash, MD
Claire Wilkiemeyer, MD
www.AllAboutKidsGeorgia.com
Note: (from their website) “All About Kids Pediatrics is a small practice with three pediatricians who are also moms. We want to know you and your child and we will strive to take the drama out of doctor visits. We are “vaccine friendly”, which means our pediatricians make an extra commitment to provide extensive counseling on vaccines and to accommodate all requests and concerns in regard to vaccines.”
***One mom noted recently in the comments that they now require you to sign the vaccine consent form when declining vaccines.
****************************************************
Kennesaw Pediatrics
Kennesaw, GA
www.kennesawpediatrics.com
Note: Kennesaw Pediatrics has a large staff of doctors. We saw them after our home birth to receive the required Georgia newborn testing. They are a conventional practice and did prompt us about vaccines but did not disrespect us about our decision. I have heard good things about them from other non-vax and delayed vax parents.

Vibrant Kids Pediatrics
Newnan, GA
Dr. Jill Dickerson
www.vibrantkids.us

Kenneth Akey, MD
Newnan, GA
www.kennethakeymd.com
Note: I have heard WONDERFUL thing about Dr. Akey from several people. He recently moved to Georgia from the mandatory-vaccination state of California to be closer to his children and grandchildren and to practice medicine in the form he believes is best which is preventative care and individual choice.
Additional Practices (need more information)
The following practices were given to me by my homebirth midwife who keeps a list of “vax-choice tolerable” doctors her homebirth clients have used for their newborn checkups and pediatric care. Here are those additional practices, and I would love to hear if you have any experience with them in the comments below. I update this post frequently so I can remove or add doctors if needed.
****************************************************
John Potts, MD
Fayetteville, McDonough, and Hampton, GA (3 offices)
770-461-5003
Note: Need to hear experiences from more families who go here but apparently “vax-choice” tolerable.
****************************************************
Covenant Care Pediatrics
Dr. Patrick Pulliam
Stockbridge, GA
www.covenantcarepediatrics.com/
Note: Need to hear experiences from more families who go here but apparently “vax-choice” tolerable.
****************************************************
Pediatric Partners of Georgia
Ingrid Newman, MD
Watkinsville or Bogart, GA

Note: Need to hear experiences from more families who go here but apparently “vax-choice” tolerable.
****************************************************
Whole Family Medicine
Decatur, GA
Marion Owen, MD
www.wholefamilymed.com
Note: I really feel like this would be a great practice for a family concerned about vaccine safety, but Dr. Owen makes it clear on the video on their website that she is more in support for a delayed schedule than a non-vax situation. This is also a membership-type practice and does not take insurance. I would call to discuss your situation with her staff. 🙂
