This is kind of a radical idea but you could just stop taking him for well visits. I live in a very remote rural area and there is only one health care provider available. She made similar recommendations about Sam so we just stopped going to see her. If he has an emergency we'll go there if we can't get to the hospital, but otherwise my kid is healthy and I came to the conclusion that there isn't any reason to keep going to the doctor. It's their job to look for anything that might be wrong, that's what they're trained to do and if I consult them, that's what I should expect. But I decided don't like the idea of someone looking for what's wrong with my kid. Many of them have radically different ideas about what's healthy for a child than I do. It's far too stressful to go through that all the time. My son is thin and tall, still nurses a lot and eats very little, is very energetic and quite healthy.

I have wished we did have a great pediatrician so we could just check in every now and then, but I'd rather just take my chances than expose my son to our local prac's fearmongering style of medicine. All we get from that is stress and anxiety, which everyone knows is bad for your health!

I wish you good luck in finding a compatible medical person.
