    Growing up in Ocean City, NJ, I was active in track and cross country and always loved science. Before medical school, I majored in psychology with a focus on child development at Duke University. I find it extremely rewarding to work with children and always knew I wanted to be a pediatrician. The doctors I had as a child were role models for me. Both of my parents are educators and they also inspire me to want to make a difference. I feel it is a privilege when families put their trust in me and allow me to care for their children. I am passionate about education and working with the physicians in our fellowship program. I hope to be an inspiration for medical students and residents the way that my mentors at Thomas Jefferson University were for me. I also believe in adding to our medical knowledge through continuing research. I take the time to get to know my patients and their families. I believe all children should enjoy a high quality of life, and I strive to treat my patients so they can excel in school, participate in sports and other activities, and spend time with their family and friends.

    Dr. Rachna Kapoor is a pediatric hospitalist at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. She has extensive experience in acute care and rehabilitative hospital settings, previously in Pittsburgh, Baltimore and now Wilmington, Delaware. One of the aspects I like the most in working with children is the idea that what we do now can positively affect them later. I like to think that and hope that what I help them with now, even in a small way, can potentially make a lasting impact long into their adult years. It’s fun to work with kids. I especially like to help the kids and their families be more comfortable with their conditions and what needs to be done to address them. Sometimes a child can’t fully express what’s wrong or how they feel and I like to work with them and talk about it so I can figure it out for them. I also enjoy being an advocate for kids and their families who might not have a strong voice in getting all the care they need. I’m passionate about providing good quality patient care, especially inpatient care for children admitted to the hospital. I’m passionate about looking for ways in which we can improve various parts of the care and keep care efficient as well.  My medical interests include all general pediatric hospital conditions, especially feeding disorders and feeding difficulties in children. One of the ways I try to make a difference is by helping train the next generation of physicians. I love teaching medical students and residents about hospital medicine. I was fortunate to have good teachers and mentors myself over the years, and I want to pass that on as much as I can. I try and make the hospital stay for a child as comfortable as possible and be as supportive as I can. Dr. Kapoor is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome. Her clinical expertise encompasses Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome, Cerebral Hypoxia, Malnutrition, and Hypochondroplasia. Dr. Kapoor is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.

    I grew up in Connecticut, went to school in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and worked for a few years in New York City, Washington DC, and Baltimore. Now I’m getting to know my new, adopted state of Delaware. My own pediatrician inspired me to go into pediatrics, and the rest is history! Children are our present and future. The effect you have on a child now can alter their life, as my pediatrician did for me. Their endless potential is why I love working with kids.  I also truly enjoy being a resource and comfort for the families of my patients. Parents are often going through a tough time when they meet me, and I want to be a caring and competent point-person for them, so they feel confident in the care they receive while in the hospital. First and foremost, I’m passionate about healing children, while keeping them mentally and psychologically thriving. I look to care for the whole child, not just one “problem” or “disease.”  This includes advocating for children and families in the medical system, society and government. We need to provide a healthy environment for children to grow and thrive, and that begins and continues outside the hospital. Doctors have a powerful voice in society and I want to use mine to make the lives of our kids and families better and easier.   I also care about providing clear education and answers (as much as possible) to our families, and using whatever tools possible to help them understand the medical information we are providing them. I try to get my patients the best outcomes possible during their hospital stay, while keeping aspects of their life and personality intact. I try to provide comfort and explanations for families. I teach medical students and residents, not just science and medicine, but also these humanistic values.  I advocate for children with insurance companies, hospital committees, national organizations, and state and federal governments. I support policies that improve children’s and families’ lives. Dr. Barfchin is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome.

    What is the definition of Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome?

    Achalasia microcephaly syndrome is an extremely rare genetic syndrome that appears in infants and is characterized by microcephaly (abnormally small head), intellectual disability, achalasia (esophageal dysfunction), and failure to thrive (growth and development delay).

    When should I see an Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctors in Delaware, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctors in Delaware, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctors in Delaware, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Achalasia Microcephaly Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
