    Dr. Loren Berman is a pediatric general surgeon, an active researcher, and an author of peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. She enjoys training the next generation of pediatric surgeons. Another role she enjoys here at Nemours is working on maintaining quality and safety to deliver the highest quality of care. Even when I was a child, I was curious about the human body, how it works and why it sometimes doesn’t. The more I learned, the more I realized I wanted to know how to fix things that go wrong. I came upon surgery to do that in a very hands-on fashion. I like working with children, and find them to be full of energy, incredibly resilient and inspiring as patients. I also appreciate the chance to form relationships with their parents. Family-centered medicine is much more than a buzzword. Outcomes improve when the family is part of the care team. I enjoy helping that happen. I value the relationships that I build with kids and parents, and I see most of them again in follow-ups. I love taking care of babies — and supporting their families through what can be an intense time in their lives. Unlike many adult surgeons, my job doesn’t end with surgery. I will often see a family many times for follow-up visits. I get to know them well. I feel involved for the long-term.I also enjoy watching a resident grow and hearing from them once they are practicing surgeons and training other surgeons. I find joy in seeing the impact when I develop a standardized process to improve care and can see the improvement. One of my primary roles as a surgeon is to be a teacher. I am committed not only to helping my patients and their families understand their disease process but also to training future surgeons. There are a few people who have inspired me and really stand out in my life as role models. I hope to serve the same function for future generations. Dr. Berman is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in Appendectomy. She is also highly rated in 21 other conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Duodenal Atresia, Infantile Pyloric Stenosis, Appendicitis, Gastrostomy, and Appendectomy. Dr. Berman is board certified in American Board Of Surgery.

    What is the definition of Appendectomy?

    An appendectomy is surgery to remove the appendix.

    When should I see an Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy doctors in Delaware, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Appendectomy 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 Appendectomy doctor that offers video calls?

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