time for a new pediatrician

so my daughter will start kindergarten in September so she stilled need another MMR vaccine from the Dr .
we get there and he says she is due for 3 other vaccines and a physical so during the exam he just starts unbuttonning her pants without even telling her what he is doing and checks her genitalia(which he did when she was 2 1/2 and she was so upset then also) but she is 4 1/2 now and he should have told her what he was doing
she looked at me terrified so I start telling her that its ok and he is a dr and he is just making sure everything is ok there etc

He is an older man and I think he just treats his patients as customers and not people

that is so intrusive. I agree that you should switch. Even at 3 my pediatrician has me undress DS and he told him what he was going to do.

My pediatrician or any of the nurses (or assistants) in the office, have never undressed any of my kids. I've always been instructed to undress them myself.

Same here. My pediatrician also directs his conversations towards the kids, ie "I'm going to check in your ear now"...and that's since they were babies.

OMG, how awful! Even now, with just a little baby, our pediatrician tells us to undress her and he looks at her as he's examining her and tells her exactly what she's doing (as if she understands...Chat Icon )

My ped does the same. The nurse always instructs me to undress Emma. I think it's a little too "personal" to have a doctor or nurse, undress my child.

I had a very old pediatrician that I actually used until I was 22Chat Icon He had to tell me to not come back Chat Icon

anyway, he always, always, always, made sure I was comfortable about him examining me. Even when I was in my teens and twenties. Too bad I can't bring my children to him because now he retired Chat Icon

My point is that I was soooo comfortable with him as a child that I had a hard time seeing any other doctor. So, if your child is not comfortable around him, then you know it is definately time to change. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: time for a new pediatrician

I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through that. It is completely not the way a doctor should handle his patients.

Re: time for a new pediatrician

This is awful. I am sorry but your daughter must have felt truly violated.
I don't think I could have sat there while he did that. Why didn't the nurse ask you to have her ready for her exam and offer her a gown or something? That is just wrong IMO.
I would find a new doctor, a female. And I would talk to my daughter about it if she seems upset at all after the visit. Chat Icon

I can't believe your daughter had to go through that and you had to witness it. How horrible! I'm sorry you had to go through that. Good luck finding a new pediatrician. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
