Vaccinations
Where this practice stands, why, and how the schedule gets decided with you rather than for you.
We treat your child like our own family
Our practice would only care and treat your child as if they were our own family, our own children. We care and think about what is most important for keeping children healthy and protecting them from life-threatening diseases and their consequences.
We take parents' concerns seriously
In recent years, especially since the internet era began, there has been a lot of controversy over whether vaccines could be the cause of harm, disease or other conditions, particularly in online circles and in the media.
We understand those concerns and keep a genuinely open mind toward them. We share the questions, and we work at being scientifically objective about this.
As a medical professional, doctor, and a father of three, who cares for your precious, I have to follow scientific guidelines and recommendations and distinguish the misinformation, fiction and rumor from the facts and scientific reality. Dr. Cengiz Yucel
"Natural" does not mean "no vaccines"
Some people associate the word natural in pediatrics with "no vaccines" or "no shots." We recognize and acknowledge all those concerns and questions in the minds of many parents, and we are proud to say we like to work with our parents and are open minded about friendly and comfortable vaccination schedules.
At the same time, we believe in the tremendous benefits of vaccination in conquering childhood preventable diseases. We believe the benefits of vaccination outweigh not vaccinating and its potentially terrible consequences.
Bring your questions to the visit. If you are worried about a particular vaccine, the timing, or how many are given at once, say so. Dr. Yucel would rather talk it through with you at the appointment than have you leave with the question unasked.
