    As a young child I was hospitalized several times. My own pediatricians were role models for me and influenced my decision to become a doctor. In medical school I had the chance to be mentored by Dr. Mohsen Ziai, MD, a world-renowned pediatrician who fueled my desire to go into general pediatrics. I feel that caring for the whole child is paramount and love this quote from the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” While I practice general pediatrics, I particularly have an interest in infectious diseases and allergy/asthma. I also over the years have grown to enjoy treating youth athletes, having watched my own 3 adult children grow up playing various sports. Evidence-based care and safe care are the cornerstones of how I try to approach each patient, to ensure a quality outcome at the end of the day.  Each day some child makes me laugh and that simple, joyful interaction is what keeps me going after all these years. I fully embrace the Nemours goal to produce the healthiest generation of children and therefore make time to engage in advocacy, working with organizations and government to do things that improve their lives, health, and safety. I have served as an appointed member of several state and local committees and work groups, past president of the Delaware Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, past vice president of the Medical Society of DE and currently am active with the Government Affairs Committee of the Medical Society of Delaware, serving as its Vice Chair/Chair Elect. I have a strong connection to my church, Grace Church Dover, and serve on its Missions Committee. Dr. Sheahan is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder. He is also highly rated in 1 other condition, according to our data.

    What is the definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder?

    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder. It often appears in the first 2 to 3 years of life. ASD affects the brain's ability to develop normal social and communication skills.

    When should I see an Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Dover, DE?

    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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Dover, DE?

    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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctors near Dover, DE?

    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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctors near Dover, DE?

    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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Dover, DE?

    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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Autism Spectrum Disorder 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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor near Dover, DE?

    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 Autism Spectrum Disorder 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 Autism Spectrum Disorder 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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctors near Dover, DE?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Autism Spectrum Disorder 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 Autism Spectrum Disorder doctor that offers video calls?

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