Our practice believes in the safety of vaccines and their effectiveness to prevent serious illness and to save lives.

We fully support the current vaccine schedule that is recommended by the Maryland Department of Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These schedules are continually studied and revised by experts in the field of medicine, immunology and public health. 

We feel strongly that vaccinating children may be the single most important intervention we perform as health care providers. 

If you decide not to adhere to the vaccine schedule recommended by the Maryland Department of Health and the AAP, we kindly encourage you to find a pediatrician whose approach aligns with your preferences.
