I'm a foster mom and took my placement (2 months old) to Dr. Samsamy. He observed the child had a crooked leg and instructed me to do some stretching exercises. He also said he was 'eating' too much and to feed him water in between his bottles, I also requested to be on the Dr. Sears vaccine schedule (2 a month instead of 4-5 at one time) and wouldn't do it. The extra water made the child sick and he projectile vomited each day I did as instructed...The following week I was referred to a center in my area to screen for behavioral or medical issues that the baby may need in the future. The lady doing the screening is a physical therapist and instructed me the exercises Dr Samsamy told me to do on his hip can be dangerous if x-rays aren't looked at first and to request a referral to an orthopedic. I called and asked for a referral and was told by the Dr. ""I am a professional and in my opinion he doesn't need x-rays"" i said I understand that but I am instructed I need to get x-rays to continue therapy, he told me 8 times NO and further insulted me when I was getting emotional. I DO NOT recommend this pediatrician.
