Holcomb Bridge Pediatrics

The stars I give are more for the nurses and front desk ladies (they were all very nice) than for the doctor. I took my newborn for her first two wellness visits here, before the second visit I was thinking about changing pediatricians because the Dr wasn’t the greatest with communication (asking questions and allowing questions to be asked), the second visit sealed the deal,-he asked if we had pets at home (which he asked during the first visit, clearly forgot) I said yes, he asked what kind, I said pitbull– he literally then said to kill it. Now, I’m not a stupid or ignorant person, and I have been working with dogs as a career for years. If I had a dog that would be a threat to my beautiful daughter, I would certainly recognize it, and rehome. Our pitbull is the sweetest, most sensitive dog I have every known. For a ‘professional’ to flat out tell me to kill my dog for no real reason is appalling and unbelievable. Pitbulls are given a bad name, and I have no time for close minded judgemental people. I did try to explain to the doctor after his jaw dropping comment that any dig can bite a child, and it depends on temperament of any animal, but he just ignored me and talked over me. Why should I let someone care for my baby if they don’t care about all living things?
