Pediatrician in NW OKC Area

I have been a little unsatisfied with our current pediatrician for awhile now, but recently he made me very unhappy and I've decided to find a new one. Basically I called him with some concerns about my son (21 months old - waking up every 2-3 hours crying, no appetite, very irritable, etc - not his normal happy self) and the pediatrician told me that my son had "behavior issues" and that I was "making it worse" by responding when he cries at night. He basically told me to just let him cry it out, which I am against, and said that everything he's doing is just because he has behavior problems. I disagree b/c my son is usually a great sleeper and a great eater and it does not seem like a behavior issue or some kind of tantrum like the dr says. He's also made comments in the past that seemed like he didn't completely support the fact that I breastfed my son. And to top it all off, when i called him, he acted like I was completely wasting his time and he couldn't wait to get off the phone. Anyway, sorry for the rant, he just really offended me when he said I was making everything worse. So, I just want to know if anyone can recommend a good pediatrician to me, preferably one who is a little more supportive of attachment parenting. Or at least respects the fact that that's how I choose to parent my child.

Thanks for all the help mamas! BTW, I live in Piedmont, so anything in NW OKC/Edmond area would be great. Or even Yukon. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Well i have a really awesome one in Mustang if that is not too far. Her name is Dr Cosby and I am always able to get in to see her the same day and she even has Sat clinic almost every weekend (which i love as a working mom). Number is ###-###-#### or I have a freind who really loves her Dr. Dr Dooly is at Baptist, but I think it is a pretty large practice and it is hard to get in really quickly, but their number is ###-###-####. Good Luck, I have had problems like that with a pedi in the past and you do not need to put up with it!
