The 20 Best Hepatoblastoma Doctors in Delaware, US

Dr. Stephen P. Dunn is chief of the Division of Solid Organ Transplantation. He's also a professor of surgery and pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University, an international presenter, and an author of more than 100 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and abstracts. When I was young, the physicians I first heard about were missionaries and I always thought that what they were doing was really important. It seemed to me that helping other people who were sick was one of the best things I could do with my life. I made that decision early — while in middle school. Over time, I knew I wanted to help children. I've always loved being around kids. Their innocence is amazing. It's a privilege to care for them and to earn the trust of their parents.I see life as a service. And the best service I can provide is to use the things I know to give children a second chance. Nothing is more rewarding than knowing we helped someone to have a normal childhood and grow up to live a happy, productive life as a result of our solid organ transplantation program. I'm passionate about taking solid organ transplant programs to the next level — introducing what we've learned to societies that haven't been able to take advantage of these medical techniques before. So I devote a lot of energy to discussing and critiquing work that's going on in transplantation programs for children around the world.I'm very fortunate to have a family that supports me in this. My wife and kids have always acted like they were part of the team that sent me to work every day. I owe them everything. I really want to help heal children through my work. We've found a better way to treat a specific liver-related form of high blood pressure and I'm working toward more children being treated using this technique.I’ve also tried to use what I've learned to help children in need in other countries. The missionary physicians I had heard of when I was young inspired me to do something similar. I've set up viable solid organ transplant programs in Bolivia and India and established a live-donor liver transplant program in Philadelphia.This work has attracted numerous like-minded physicians and health professionals, and I'm especially proud that many of them have followed me to Nemours. Dr. Dunn is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma. His top areas of expertise are Hepatoblastoma, Hepatic Cystic Hamartoma, Liver Cancer, Liver Transplant, and Hepatectomy.

I have always loved science and medicine and knew from an early age that I wanted to be in medicine. It is one of the greatest privileges to care for patients and help their families during their cancer treatment. I have always known that I wanted to work with children. Even when dealing with sickness, children have this uncanny ability to find the humor and positivity in all situations. I am passionate about taking the very best care of children and their families in every single interaction I have with them. I am passionate in continuing to improve the care and outcomes of children with cancer and blood disorders through clinical trials and research. I have a particular interest in treating children with leukemia and want to make improvements in every aspect of their care through clinical trials.I also have an interest in improving patient care and clinical research by finding innovative uses of the electronic health record to collect data about how patients are doing on treatment. I also focus on improving the safe delivery of chemotherapy medications. Dr. Gresh is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma.

I grew up in the New York City area. As a child, I was something of a science geek. I enjoyed applying what I learned to real life situations. As a pediatric cancer specialist, I always focus on helping kids with cancer and brain tumors enjoy the best possible quality of life. I have tremendous respect for the children in my care. Although most are very sick, they handle adversity amazingly well. They don’t complain and just want to be done with treatment so they can go on with their lives. I try to make a difference through hope and healing. The fact that Nemours is so active in cancer research means we have access to experimental treatment options that offer real hope for a cure. Just as important, we do everything we can to make a terrible process less terrible by alleviating any suffering.

Dr. Corinna L. Schultz is a pediatric hematologist/oncologist and an assistant professor at Sidney Kimmel Medical College. She's an invited lecturer, presenter, published medical journal author, active researcher, and member of multiple medical societies, serving on a national committee of the Children's Oncology Group. Even before medical school, I knew I wanted to work with children. Then I did my pediatric rotation and that sealed it! I love being around children and teens. They make everything better. It is amazing how a child who is dealing with an illness still finds a way to smile. I see the way kids don't let anything stop them, even cancer. It's inspiring. The reason I chose hematology and oncology is that they combine everything I love about medicine and find the most interesting. For me, it's the perfect blend of primary care, critical care, and specialty medicine. I love that it's multidisciplinary and that the field is progressing so quickly — with developments in new medications for sickle cell disease and hemophilia and new disease cures like gene therapy coming soon. It's an exciting time to be a hematology and oncology specialist. I'm passionate about taking care of kids, educating and communicating with children, families and medical professionals about hematology, and advancing health and health care through health services research to improve the way that we (within medicine, in general, and our hospital, in particular) deliver hematology and oncology care. My medical interests include: Sickle cell disease Sickle cell trait Other hemoglobin traits Bleeding disorders such as Hemophilia and von Willebrand disease Clotting disorders Iron deficiency anemia Patient portals Patient-physician communication I try to make a difference in every care setting I find myself in. I try to be exceptionally present for my patients and their families, and make sure they get their questions answered. I worked with the adult hematologists at Wilmington Hospital to create the first federally funded Hemophilia Treatment Center to care for children in Delaware with bleeding and clotting disorders. I also enjoy being active within the hospital, serving on specific groups and committees such as the Ethics Committee, Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, and Pediatric Clinical Competency Committee. I feel it's important to be active within the hospital and the field to ensure we're providing the highest quality and safest care possible. I also work to make a difference by doing research within my specialty and in healthcare delivery. Dr. Schultz is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma.

I'm a pediatric hematologist and oncologist, and an assistant professor at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College. I primarily treat kids with non-malignant hematologic disorders and serve on various committees advocating for patients with hematologic diseases. I always wanted to work with kids and their families and to be able to provide good medical care to people of various backgrounds. I think working with kids and other pediatricians is one of the more enjoyable parts of life. I want to advocate on my patients and families’ behalf and to give them the best care possible. I'm most passionate about non-malignant hematologic disease. In particular I focus on immunohematology and care for patients with sickle cell disease, and I have a particular interest in reproductive health for patients with sickle cell disease, as well as metalogic disorders. I take care of dysfunctional uterine bleeding due to bleeding disorders such as Willebrand disease. I take care of patients with iron deficiency anemia with immune-mediated thrombocytopenias and other immune mediated cytopenia. Throughout my care, I make a point to be present with each patient and family when I'm with them, to make sure that they are heard and advocated for.

Dr. Charles Paidas is chief of the Division of Pediatric General Surgery. He's been a medical school vice dean and professor, invited lecturer, researcher, author and editor of major medical journals. He's board-certified in general surgery, pediatric surgery and surgical critical care, and has treated kids and teens for more than 30 years. Everything starts with childhood. I've always been fascinated with children — and families as a whole. I'm very interested in the role of healthy families in the greater framework of society.  Another subject that fascinates me is embryology (the study of babies while they grow and develop in the womb) and the health of babies before they're even born. I'm passionate about us delivering valuable, team-based, safe health care for children.  And I'm passionate about training future physicians, and believe that a hospital’s participation in good, solid graduate medical education (programs that train medical school graduates in their residencies and fellowships) is a big asset to the organization — and to patients and families — providing real benefits in the enhanced quality of care that it helps achieve. In addition to caring for children, one way I work to make a difference is through my emphasis on faculty development, including areas such as physician wellness and professionalism. I also try to make a difference in the field of medicine through my participation and membership in The Society of University Surgeons and The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma. Dr. Paidas is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma. His top areas of expertise are Atresia of Small Intestine, Pilonidal Sinus Disease, Retroperitoneal Inflammation, and Annular Pancreas.

As a doctor who treats children with cancer and chronic blood diseases, I don’t just treat the disease itself. I try to help the children and families I care for understand the illness, and find ways to cope so they can make the most of every day. I enjoy helping kids and nurturing them – and forming close relationships with families as they navigate their way through serious illness. Improving a child’s quality of life is one of the most satisfying things we try to do each day, and seeing a child become a productive, happy adult is what we live for. As health care professionals, our mission is to do what’s best for our patients, and that priority comes first. I’m proud that Nemours treats patients without regard to their ability to pay for our services. Dr. Miller is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma.

Both of my parents were in the medical field and strongly influenced the direction of my career. I became a physical therapist, which I enjoyed immensely, but I thought I could make a different contribution to patient care by becoming a physician. In radiology, we are part of the medical team that helps diagnose or exclude an illness and we help to direct the course of our patient’s treatment. Working with children is an amazing experience. Kids are so resilient and bounce back from all types of difficult situations. They each have such a unique perspective and we try our best to tailor our interactive imaging procedures to the child. Sometimes this involves providing anatomy lessons to teen patients, other times it involves just “getting it over with.” We aim to make our imaging procedures as interesting and as comfortable as possible. My areas of interest include: Pediatric Body Imaging  Fetal Imaging Child Abuse I try to provide the most accurate information based on our imaging studies to the patient’s medical team so that the child can be treated as quickly as possible. I am fortunate to work with an incredible group of medical practitioners at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children who share my passion to provide the highest quality medical care to all children. Dr. Harty is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma. Her top areas of expertise are Caffey Disease, X-Linked Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda, Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita, and Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia.

I am married to a wonderful woman, and we have three adopted boys from Colombia, five cats, and a house full of craziness and love. My kids are the hardest and best part of my day, every day, and seeing them grow and mature into young men makes me grateful to be alive. They are my heart and my soul, and I have no words for that kind of blessing. I have always appreciated the laughter and spontaneity of children, their sweetness, their complexity, and their straightforward way of just trying to get the most fun possible out of life. I really enjoy keeping kids smiling and happy. I was recently invited to the 10-year cancer free anniversary party of one of my patients. What joy to see him grow. That helps keep me going. I am also passionate about our bone marrow transplantation program, both for children with cancer and for children with non-oncologic disease. When I was in college, I had a chance to work in a rural Mexico clinic as a translator. I was inspired by the physicians – they worked so hard, with so little, and made a huge difference for people who had no other chance. Today I enjoy helping families who need Spanish to communicate with their physician. Dr. Powell is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma. His top areas of expertise are Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, Sickle Cell Disease, and Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

Even at the start of my medical training, I knew I wanted to be in a field where I get to work with children. After my first child was born premature and required NICU-level care, that experience only intensified my desire to work with kids. Having a child requiring medical care is both scary and stressful. As a pediatric radiologist, my goal is to help alleviate those feelings for parents and children by providing the best radiology service and making it as kid friendly as possible. Pediatric radiology is a perfect fit for me. As a pediatric radiologist, I get to work as a consultant with many clinicians in different pediatric fields. Though radiologists are often behind the scenes, we play a vital role in diagnosing the problem, so that children can be treated and feel better. I am passionate about all areas of pediatric radiology including neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging and body imaging. I also work with all modalities including X-ray, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, CT and MRI. One of my roles as a radiologist is as a consultant, working with clinicians to ensure that we do the best test with the lowest radiation possible. As radiologists, we are always working to come up with new imaging techniques that can avoid or lower radiation and be more kid friendly. I care for children both at Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital and the Nemours Deptford Specialty Care and Surgery Center. At our Deptford location, you may see me involved in fluoroscopy, ultrasound and X-ray. I also perform joint injections for MRI arthrograms at our Deptford location, many which are performed to evaluate sports injuries, joint pain or congenital abnormalities. Dr. Schenker is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hepatoblastoma.

I am a Nemours radiologist based in Wilmington, Del. at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. I grew up in a family with several close family members working in various fields of health care, who I looked up to as role models. I appreciated from them that joining a medical field not only brought the responsibility of staying on top of the most up-to-date science-based treatments, but also being able to relay this to patients and their families with great empathy and compassion. I used to work primarily with adults and branched out during my career into a pediatric setting, and have absolutely enjoyed working exclusively with children ever since. Children bring such hope, energy and joy, lighting up each encounter. Their current health and well-being is crucial to their growth into a healthy adulthood. It’s a rewarding and humbling privilege to have the opportunity to try and make a positive difference in these children’s and their families lives for the better. I am passionate about working with children and their families as well as our referring physicians to find the best imaging tools possible to most efficiently and accurately identify what’s going on. In this way, patients and family members, together with their clinicians, can make the best decisions of the most appropriate care for their children. My special interests include:  imaging of sports related injuries  musculoskeletal imaging As a radiologist who is also a parent, I try to step into the caregivers’ shoes when working with children and treat them as I would want my own family treated. I try to educate the patient and family so they understand what tests are being done and what the results mean so they can be knowledgeable as they move forward with the best possible care.

Her top areas of expertise are Spondylocarpotarsal Synostosis Syndrome, Caudal Regression Syndrome, Scoliosis, Short Stature (Growth Disorders), and Small Bowel Resection.

I am a pediatric hematologist/oncologist at Nemours and a clinical assistant professor at Sidney Kimmel Medical College. When I’m not at work, I am most likely spending time with my husband and our two daughters. Children have a particular innocence and resilience that motivates me in the work I do. I love that in pediatrics there is a constant team effort to foster positivity and joy. I am in awe of the incredible strength of my amazing patients. I am passionate about providing exceptional care to my patients and bringing novel, effective therapies to the bedside. I specialize in taking care of children with leukemia as well as children who need a stem cell transplant or cellular therapy. I understand that I am meeting my patients and families on what seems like the worst day of their lives. I honor the difficult journey that they are about to undertake and the role I have in leading them on that journey. I make every effort to spend time with patients and families, making sure they have all the information they need regarding a diagnosis and treatment plan and that they know there is no question they can’t ask me. I also involve myself with research at Nemours in an effort to make sure that we are providing novel therapies to our current patients, as well as advancing the field for future patients.
