We left this practice because they were condescending to me concerning breastfeeding. They kept trying to tell me that my child was allergic to my breastmilk. It is very difficult to diagnose a breastmilk allergy, but they used this as a diagnosis to fall back on when they didn't know what else to do. I ended up seeing an allergist who worked with me on an elimination diet and we were able to continue breastfeeding. This office failed to see how important breastfeeding was to me and gave me horrible advice that nearly killed my supply from the beginning. The doctors at this office need to learn to refer patients out to other doctors and lactation specialists when dealing with issues that they are not trained in. \r

However, they were always good with my son, and we never had to wait very long to see a doctor. If my son had been healthier and we if we had not had any breastfeeding challenges, then I probably would have stayed with this practice.
