Scott Mercola, MD

Dr. Mercola is fantastic! I have taken all 3 of my children to him since birth and he is kind, patient and has a wonderful rapport with children. He and his nurses, (Dawn is my favorite!) never make you feel rushed and the kids feel totally at ease around them. On the few occasions I’ve had to call after-​hours to page Dr Mercola (at times in the middle of the night) he was quick to respond, kind, calm and eager to help and never seemed annoyed by the disturbance. He truly seems to love what he does and is knowledgeable and a great listener. I highly recommend Dr Mercola!

We got great care for our daughter with Dr Mercola from the day she was born. He answered hundreds of our new-​parent questions and his nurse helped us through lots of sick days over the phone. We’re sad to have to switch to another pediatrician due to a move.

He came in on a saturday, to spring me from the worst hospital experience I’ve ever had. (he’s my kid’s pediatrician and if he didn’t sign the kid out, we couldn’t leave).
Definitely five star worthy for that!

In response to what the previous post says, I would disagree that this is a pro breast feeding practice, especially after six months. I’ve been told on three separate visits now to ‘switch to cows milk.’ I have no intention of ‘switching’ my baby until he’s ready. I was told the last time, at the 1 yr visit, to take him off the formula.(Um, my son isn’t on formula, but whatever… and we have talked about breastfeeding every other visit)
I like the dr. I really do, better than most, and I’m hesitant to write this review bc I want to continue to receive good care. I understand it’s busy, especially at back to school time, but often I feel like I’m not really being listened to sometimes and just being read a script. So, if you want a traditional point of view, and a by the book opinion, you’ll like this dr. If you’re going to do things a little more natural, you might leave ignoring some of the advice, Iike we do.
