Franconia Pediatrics: Monica Kharbanda, MD

"I was not going to do a review at first but I thought long and hard and decided to write one. All the reviews I'm seeing must be vaccinated children or long time patients. My fiancé and I took our son to Dr. KHARBANDA from a referral and from day one she rubbed me the wrong way but I figured hey a new mom I should give her a chance as we all know how protective new moms or dads or any parents are with their children. It was told to kharbanda that we had religious exemptions for vaccines before we even started visiting her and we thought everything was good. First visit she told us that our son had a clogged tear duct didn't subscribe anything or tell us how to treat it we read that breast milk clears clogged ducts. Second visit she stated that he had cradle cap starting she believed did not tell us how to get rid of or treat also asked if i knew how to take care of my mixed sons hair mind you hes not mixed hes fully african american with curly hair like his father.always pushed us to get vaccines once we brought in the paper work stating we were exempt from vaccines our visits really changed she dropped us and said it was her policy to not treat unvaccinated patients which is fine cause we were looking else where. The last two draws was when she stated she believed our son had jaundice and needed blood work well come to find out our son did not have Jaundice but sent me around looking for a labcorp that would draw blood from a 1 month Olds arms how is that possible I always thought a heel stick was sufficient but kharbanda ordered different the ladies at the clinic was even shocked as they too said they don't draw blood from a 1 month old arm me being a new mother I didn't know I was only doing what was told to me by someone you are suppose to trust. The second was how her staff played around when it came to getting our sons medical records once we found another Dr . Who welcomed our religious beliefs her staff told my fiancé it would take two to three weeks for three visits which was only weight checks and its so much more I would like to say but I have written well over enough just beware of this establishment if you are against vaccines."
