If you are not comforatble with this Dr, find a new one. I personally don't think he is doing anything even remotely wrong. It is his medial opinion that earrings are bad, he has a point that they can lead to infections and other nasty stuff.

So really the leap to not liking ear peircings is just a matter of degrees. When it comes right down to it, a peircing is a peircing. Some are safer than others, but none are entirely safe and none are really nessecary.
Personally, I like 'em; tounges, bellybuttons, nipples...sexy sexy sexy. It's a risk I am glad plenty of people take, but I digress.
If you don't like the advice your Dr is giving you, find a different Dr.
