    "Elliot Newman, MD is the chief of surgical oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital, with a clinical expertise in gastrointestinal cancer care, especially pancreatic and hepatobiliary cancers. He's been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2002.Dr. Newman always loved interacting with people, and as the son of an organic chemist, he loved science too. ""The two loves come together nicely in medicine,"" he says. His interest in surgery began when he attended medical school at New York University School of Medicine, and he continued on at NYU for his general surgery residency. During his residency, he spent time at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center doing a research fellowship. It was during this period that Dr. Newman developed a strong interest in cancer care. This led to a clinical fellowship in surgical oncology, also completed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. ""My mentors taught me to think about the biology of the disease. How is a tumor going to behave? Is this operation right for this person?"" he says. ""That stayed with me forever.""With cancer behaving differently from one person to another, Dr. Newman emphasizes the importance of individualizing every patient's care plan. While he specializes in minimally invasive approaches, including laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, he never assumes this is always the right procedure for everyone and he considers all approaches on the table to determine the appropriate course of care.In fact, his whole team is involved in creating a patient's care plan, meeting for a weekly tumor board to discuss and assess all the angles of each case together. And as a Northwell hospital, Lenox Hill offers a full breadth of services, meaning Dr. Newman also has access to other clinical teams as well, including gastroenterology, cardiology, pulmonology and more. This multidisciplinary approach is vital for his patients. ""We can take care of the entire patient here,"" he says. ""Not just the cancer.""It's this genuine care and concern that doesn't go unnoticed by his patients, and he's constantly humbled by their gratitude. ""There's nothing like getting a note from a patient, family member or friend who really appreciates the fact that you've lengthened the life of a loved one or helped them get to a next milestone,"" Dr. Newman says. ""Whenever my time is up, I know I've helped or tried to help many patients, and that makes it all worthwhile.""His passion for helping others also extends beyond medicine. For many years he and his family have supported organizations that assist underprivileged children, creating better opportunities for present and future generations.". Dr. Newman is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hereditary Spherocytosis. He is also highly rated in 17 other conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Pancreatic Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Familial Colorectal Cancer, Pancreaticoduodenectomy, and Pancreatectomy. Dr. Newman is board certified in American Board Of Surgery.

    What is the definition of Hereditary Spherocytosis?

    Hereditary spherocytosis is a condition that affects red blood cells. People with this condition typically experience a shortage of red blood cells (anemia), yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice), and an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly). Most newborns with hereditary spherocytosis have severe anemia, although it improves after the first year of life. Splenomegaly can occur anytime from early childhood to adulthood. About half of affected individuals develop hard deposits in the gallbladder called gallstones, which typically occur from late childhood to mid-adulthood.

    When should I see a Hereditary Spherocytosis doctor near Paterson, NJ?

    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 Hereditary Spherocytosis doctor near Paterson, NJ?

    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 Hereditary Spherocytosis doctors near Paterson, NJ?

    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 Hereditary Spherocytosis doctors near Paterson, NJ?

    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 Hereditary Spherocytosis doctor near Paterson, NJ?

    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 Hereditary Spherocytosis doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Hereditary Spherocytosis 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 Hereditary Spherocytosis doctor near Paterson, NJ?

    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 Hereditary Spherocytosis 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 Hereditary Spherocytosis 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 Hereditary Spherocytosis doctors near Paterson, NJ?

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

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