    Taking care of patients with a diverse set of medical issues and involving them in complex decisions is a rewarding experience. By sharing the medical knowledge that’s relevant and important to each individual, I can begin to help every patient better understand and participate in a mutually agreedupon care plan. This approach also optimizes the quality of care they deserve. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin in a family of eight, so I learned the benefits of hard work early on. My parents are teachers, so it’s no surprise I am also a lifetime learner. Dr. Klinkhammer is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Ependymoma.

    Discussing treatments can be quite overwhelming. I strive to help patients and families understand their cancer care plan. Every patient is unique, and I aim to tailor therapy to each individual patient. The field of oncology has developed numerous therapies that offer more options for our patients, which is exciting. I was first exposed to oncology when some of my family members were diagnosed with cancer. I consider it a privilege to take care of patients through their cancer journeys and help them and their families navigate the complexities of cancer care. The relationships that develop as a result are what I find most rewarding. Dr. Philip is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Ependymoma.

    I have always had a passion for cancer care. It’s an interest that sparked while in nursing school when several family members were diagnosed with cancer at the time. I shadowed and interned in a cancer center throughout my schooling and later transitioned into the role of a registered nurse. Now as a doctor of nursing practice, I truly feel I have found my niche in oncology and my calling in the healthcare field. With my patients, I strive to initiate compassionate relationships and establish a positive rapport while actively supporting them through the various stages of their cancer journeys. Of special interest to me is complementary and alternative therapies and using this in addition to traditional Western medicine practices to care for patients.

    What is the definition of Ependymoma?

    An ependymoma is a type of tumor which mainly occurs in young children that affects the brain or spinal cord. Ependymomas arise from the ependymal cells lining the passageways where cerebrospinal fluid flows. Ependymomas are categorized by grades based on their characteristics: Grade I ependymomas are considered to be slow growing, low-grade tumors; Grade II ependymomas may occur in the brain or spine and are also considered to be low-grade tumors; Grade III ependymomas are malignant (cancer), fast-growing tumors that most often occur in the brain and sometimes the spine. Rarely, an ependymoma can occur in the ovaries.

    When should I see an Ependymoma doctor near appleton, WI?

    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 Ependymoma doctor near appleton, WI?

    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 Ependymoma doctors near appleton, WI?

    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 Ependymoma doctors near appleton, WI?

    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 Ependymoma doctor near appleton, WI?

    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 Ependymoma doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Ependymoma 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 Ependymoma doctor near appleton, WI?

    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 Ependymoma 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 Ependymoma 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 Ependymoma doctors near appleton, WI?

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

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