At Hope Harbor Pediatric Care, the health and well-being of our children and community is our top priority.

A cornerstone of this commitment is our strong belief in the importance of childhood vaccinations for protecting children, families, and communities from serious diseases (like whooping cough, measles, pneumonia, and meningitis).

I believe in science and I believe in God who makes the science. Vaccines have been tried and true; and based on study after study, vaccines are deemed safe and do not cause autism or any other developmental disorder. That is why we follow the recommended standard vaccine schedule; no alternatives.

I am a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics in which Pediatricians across this country are guided by.  However, I do know that you will come across all kinds of information from various sources. My hope is that you will come to me with your questions and concerns.

I recognize that this can be a difficult decision to make for your child. But trust me. My first obligation is to “Do No Harm” and provide the best care possible. Vaccines make up part of that care.

As a result, families who choose not to adhere to our vaccine policy and schedule, will not be a good fit for this practice.
