    Being a pediatrician is hands down the best job in the world! I love seeing my patients grow. And while it’s rewarding to help children feel better when they are sick, it is even more of a privilege keeping them healthy. I like the interactions and conversations I have with families and especially love when kids are excited to see their doctor. Making people laugh is another of my enjoyments, and I never want any child to be afraid to come to the doctor. Each child is unique and deserves individualized care. That’s why caring for a child should include open communication between physician, parent, and child. I encourage you to ask any questions you have and will offer both my professional and personal expertise to help you make the best decisions for you and your child. As a mom to a young son, I definitely understand the trials and tribulations of parenthood. Often I share my personal, parenting experiences to provide advice that's not found in the medical books and to let parents know they are not alone in this wonderful and crazy journey called parenthood. Dr. Smolcich is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+). She is also highly rated in 1 other condition, according to our data.

    I love taking care of kids and enjoy the challenge of explaining things in ways kids can understand while making doctor’s visits more fun and less scary. Getting to know patients and their families, watching kids grow up, and seeing them become big brothers or sisters is always rewarding. My favorite responsibility is helping new parents. Having your first baby is sometimes scary. My job is to provide not only guidance, but lots of reassurance as a stable resource and a familiar face. Seeing babies grow and learn new things and watching their parents become masters in the art of parenting is very gratifying. Pediatric obesity is another interest. I approach it in ways that kids can feel empowered to make healthy food choices and find fun ways to be active. Likewise, caring for adolescents also appeals to my greater calling, helping them overcome their struggles with anxiety, depression, puberty, menstrual problems, and acne. Dr. Szmanda is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+). She is also highly rated in 2 other conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Vascular Birthmark, Stork Bite, Delayed Growth, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

    What is the definition of Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+)?

    Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is a spectrum of seizure disorders of varying severity. GEFS+ is usually diagnosed in families whose members have a combination of febrile seizures, which are triggered by a high fever, and recurrent seizures (epilepsy) of other types, including seizures that are not related to fevers (afebrile seizures). The additional seizure types usually involve both sides of the brain (generalized seizures); however, seizures that involve only one side of the brain (partial seizures) occur in some affected individuals. The most common types of seizure in people with GEFS+ include myoclonic seizures, which cause involuntary muscle twitches; atonic seizures, which involve sudden episodes of weak muscle tone; and absence seizures, which cause loss of consciousness for short periods that appear as staring spells.

    When should I see a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor near Milwaukee, 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 a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor near Milwaukee, 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctors near Milwaukee, 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctors near Milwaukee, 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 a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor near Milwaukee, 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor near Milwaukee, 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctors near Milwaukee, WI?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) 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 Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
