Since several people have requested it, I've compiled a list of anti-vax friendly docs listed alphabetically by state. Go ahead and add new ones in the replies, and I will edit my original posting to include yours....Please do not post unless you have a new one to add to the list, or a correction for an old one. Thanks!
Criteria for being an "anti-vax friendly doc" - please be sure of these criteria before you post.
Enjoy! Now remember, these docs listed are ok with non-vaxing/delayed vaxing to varying degrees - be sure to call them and see what exactly their policy is. As well, the doctors on this list have not necessarily given their consent to be added and may not necessarily be "anti-vax" in their practice.

We were taking the kids to Dr. Marty in Monticello, IL (on the list) and LOVED her, but our insurance changed and we can't see her anymore. =(
She recommended a doctor in Arcola, IL. I took the baby there today for the first time and she was great. A lot of her clientele are Amish, so she's used to folks not vaccinating.
Her name is Dr. Virginia Wade. (217) 268-5008
We see Dr. Sevilla in Sarasota, FL. He is wonderful! Listens to your concerns but never pushes any vaccines. We are a chiropractic family and very holistic.
His number is 941-366-2273
We feel blessed to have him in our community.
Cindy
Dr John Arnold in Missoula MT is great about the non vax. never gave us a hard time, no papers to sign and just verified politely each well check that we were still not vaxing. was very good w/ the kids.
Dr. Roy Steinbock in Boulder, Colorado is AMAZING -- even has his own issues with some of the vaxes, and he's a board-certified pediatrician.
His website is www.mindfulpediatrics.com

have a new one in OH, i sent them off an email and got this today, seems hopeful:
Dear Lynn,
Thank you for your email. We had a busy week with
transition to electronic medical records and then getting ready for our open
house. My blog at www.wholekidspediatrics.
I understand from your email that you will be moving to the Columbus area. Welcome! As to supporting family choices, it truly is my goal to be in partnership with families as they navigate issues in raising children. As to specifically dealing with vaccines, it is such a challenging decision, isn’t it? I respect each families decision on this process. I offer guidance and options where appropriate and when needed. As to extended breastfeeding, I think it is great – I find these kids are generally healthier.
Would love to do a meet and greet appt. Please call Kathy at our main office number of 614-298-5437 and set up a time that works for you.
Best,
Dr. Sant
Dr. Shevin in Woodstock, CT, MD and Homeopath.
Dr. Gable MD and Homeopath, Dr Sullivan DO, BOTH in Oakland Maine in the same office.
Well I have 2 to add. At the Tanana Valley Clinic in Fairbanks, Alaska Dr. Beth Medford and Dr. Timothy Foote are non vax friendly. They both respected my decision not to vax. Dr. Medford is also intact friendly, for those with little boys. :)
By the way, you have Anchorage (which is Alaska) listed as AL. The abbreviation for Alaska is actually AK. AL is Alabama.
Oh, and we see a family doctor at Fort Detrick (Army Post) in Frederick, Maryland named Dr. Kenya Brooks who is great.
