Well, really it seemed easy enough. Andrew's doctor was Dr Tapper and he LOVED this man. He said he looked forward to going to get his shots! Wow! So this man is gifted with kids. I like that. And it turns out he takes state reimbursed insurance. A miracle! So today we met with Dr Tapper at one of his offices to do a prenatal appointment.
It was mostly to get to know each other and for me to feel him out. Andrew, of course, loves him! He seems conservative and with kids I think that is a good thing. He said things that brought me comfort, like he's not a big user of antibiotics, that he has an on call physician for kids' illness concerns/questions, free of charge. He generally is open to modifying the vaccine schedule, like he'll space things out a bit more if so desired. And he said that circumcision isn't medically necessary, that it is an elective surgery that the parents need to make the decision on. He did say there is evidence that shows a slight reduced risk for penis cancer and slightly low rate of STD transmission in uncircumcised men.
Ah the golden words for Andrew. Medical benefits! I think he and I will be on opposite sides of this fence for a long time. But at least we are in agreement that Dr Tapper and associates will be our baby's doctors.
Another thing off the list!
