Thank you for speaking out. Hope more pediatricians see the light. They are currently a scary bunch. Goes for my ex-family doc as well. Ah well. Change can be good.
SOOOOOOOOO glad WEEE fired OUR pediatrician - the one who we used since my son's 2013 birth, until his doc went "cuckoo for Covid shots" in 2021, after which point my then-8-year-old was never seen again for so little as a well child visit after we lost trust in this previously-open-to-Dr. Sears-style- vaxxing-type doc.
Doc went more rogue than we'd anticipated, and we lost trust in her and in her motives.
You'll soon be (now that my son is almost 12) the first doc we see since 2021 (with the exception of a few visits to a local minor emergency, as-needed) because we now unfortunately trust so few docs out there. Yes.... please feel honored.
It seems you've VERY much already earned our trust, and a chance at being our newly-established Primary Care Physician for my most precious, ALSO non-social media-accessing 11 year old.
Thanks, Dr. Gaty....for being the salmon, swimming upstream in a downstream world!
Bless you, and Offit's comments really caught my attention because he's the type of expert who has never met a pediatric vaccine he didn't like. I had to re-read his comments I was so stunned. Keep up the good work. Have been incredibly thankful my children are adults now; pediatricians scared me half to death in the early 2000's, much less today.
I was also stunned when I read Offit's most recent comments. And I had to laugh because I agree with your statement "he's...never met a pediatric vaccine he didn't like". So true!! If HE expresses doubt and caution.....!!

SEE YOU SOON!
Dr Gaty:
What is your perspective on HPV vaccine for pre teen girls? Safe, unsafe, debatable...?
I honestly have not studied it much, I’m sorry!
OK, thanks for the response. I thought that as a pediatrician that might be an area of focus for you.

Well said! As always, proud that you are mine!
That’s my Pediatrician and we hope every visit is with him! Stay true!
Another awesome post, thank you for being a sane voice amidst the madness!
