How to Navigate Pediatric Visits

Today on Pediatric Perspectives, Dr. Paul Thomas sits down with DeeDee Hoover, co-author of VAX Facts and “Just a Mom,” to discuss one of the most stressful experiences many parents face: feeling pressured or bullied in the pediatrician’s office about vaccines.

DeeDee shares her raw, personal stories of being manipulated and coerced by doctors including a shocking incident where a physician refused to treat her sick child unless she agreed to vaccinate on the spot.

Together, they provide practical, empowering advice for parents on how to prepare for well-child visits, stand firm in your decisions, communicate effectively with providers, and what to do if a practice tries to dismiss your family.
