Family Medicine practitioners - Howell, MI

"Dr. Rasor has a God complex and zero respect for patients with concerns that contradict his narrow minded so-called "professional" opinion. I am the mother of two adolescent sons. We recently moved to a new town and I chose to meet Dr. Rasor as a potential new family physician based on a review I read on another site. A patient described Dr. Rasor as a doctor that is respectful of the parent's decisions regarding immunizations. Going into the appointment believing this review, I was upfront with him about my own concerns regarding continuing to vaccinate my boys due to the growing accounts of toxicity and health dangers associated with vaccines. He responded to me with a sideways look, a flick of his hand in my direction, and directed his attention to my two boys, selling vaccinations to them while completely disregarding me. Being a tolerant person, I let this pass as I digested what he had just done and continued to allow him to exam my children. I thought I'd give him another chance and was ready to ask him for a list of the vaccines he recommended, as well as documentation of the benefits and detriments of injecting my children with these vaccines. He did, after all, go to medical school, and should be able to support what he called a "great passion" for prescribing vaccinations, and I am open-minded to any information on the subject. My faith in having this conversation with Dr. Rasor came to an abrupt halt when he told my boys "some parents choose to sign the vaccine waiver at school instead of vaccinating their children, which is the same as signing a piece of paper wishing them dead"! Then he had the audacity to glare at me as my children watched! This judgemental, power-tripping man who doesn't even know me told my children I wished them dead! Wow, and here I was taking them for physicals and questioning what he deemed best to inject into their bodies. The worst part about this whole visit was the unnecessary pain my children must have experienced being told by a doctor that their mother wishes them dead! I demanded an apology for his unprofessional actions, which of course I didn't get, and immediately left the appointment. If you're looking for a doctor to belittle you and judge you instead of listen to you with compassion and professionalism about your personal care, then this is the guy for you. If you choose not to risk your children hear a doctor tell them their parent wishes them dead when all you are doing is looking out for their best interests, I recommend you take them elsewhere. His staff was wonderful. I had to rate him one star to post, but he doesn't deserve it. "
