    I was eager to work at an institution like Nemours for the opportunity to teach medical students and residents, our physicians of the future. I’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember, and I always wanted to treat kids. Children are truly in the moment, even during an emergency. My job is to provide care and reduce their stress. Kids are fun, happy and resilient. They tend to respond well to treatment, which is very satisfying for their caregivers! I like that kids seldom hold a grudge. Even if I have to do a procedure or give them a shot, they’ll typically high-five me when it’s over. No one plans to visit the Emergency Department, so the idea of being there for children and families when they really need help is a big reason I enjoy coming to work each day. I would be happiest if my patients never got hurt or sick in the first place, which is why I try to encourage safety and prevention at each visit. I try hard to make stressful situations less scary for patients and families. Because children tend to play outside year-round here in Florida, we see a lot more injuries. My goal is to offer great care with a minimum of delay and drama. Dr. Ellman is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Croup. She is also highly rated in 3 other conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Croup, Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection, and Diarrhea. Dr. Ellman is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.

    I began my medical education in India, then moved to Brooklyn, New York for a residency in pediatrics. After caring for children as a general pediatrician for several years, I entered a fellowship program in pediatric emergency medicine. I also completed a fellowship in emergency ultrasound so I could bring that technology to help my patients. I think kids should always be happy and playful. So when they’re not, I like to be there with my team to do everything we can to get them well and happy again. Helping children heal is a wonderful, fulfilling experience for everyone involved. My passion is to be there for the child. By helping both the child and family to the very best of my ability, I can help make a difficult situation easier. One of the ways I contribute to quality care is by using new technologies in my work. I’m well aware that an emergency room is not where a family likes to spend their free time. It’s normal to have concerns, and part of my job is listening to and addressing the concerns of parents and other family members. They are a child’s most important caregivers, and I’m here to support them. Dr. Chavda is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Croup.

    What is the definition of Croup?

    Croup is due to an infection of the upper airways that causes breathing difficulty and a barking cough. The cough of croup results from swelling around the vocal cords. It is common in infants and children.

    When should I see a Croup doctor near Saint Petersburg, FL?

    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 a Croup doctor near Saint Petersburg, FL?

    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 Croup doctors near Saint Petersburg, FL?

    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 Croup doctors near Saint Petersburg, FL?

    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 a Croup doctor near Saint Petersburg, FL?

    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 Croup doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Croup 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 a Croup doctor near Saint Petersburg, FL?

    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 Croup 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 Croup 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 Croup doctors near Saint Petersburg, FL?

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

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