    "Douglas Held, MD is a board-certified general and colon and rectal surgeon specializing in hernia surgery and was accredited in 2020 by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Surgeon of Excellence in hernia surgery.Dr. Held's relationship with Northwell Health dates back to when he was just a young child, when his uncle served as chairman of anesthesiology at Long Island Jewish Medical Center when it first opened in 1953. After seeing several surgeries performed, he knew it was something he would eventually do, and later in his teenage years he became an operating room tech at the same hospital.After attending medical school at SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn, Dr. Held completed both his internship and residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. He completed his fellowship training in colorectal surgery at Allentown Hospital-Lehigh Valley Center.As his focus turned more and more to hernias, a common problem for both men and women, Dr. Held recognized that the treatments are not a one-size-fits-all approach. ""Different technologies allow us to provide different ways to help each individual person,"" he says. And Dr. Held is at the forefront of these technologies. As the section director of hernia surgery at LIJ Medical Center, Dr. Held works closely with new innovations in hernia care and is heavily involved in the robotic hernia center at LIJ Valley Stream, which achieved dual accreditations from the SRC as a Center of Excellence in both hernia surgery and robotic surgery.Averaging about 900 cases a year for the better part of three decades, Dr. Held has seen a lot over his career and has become very sensitive to patient feedback and observation. ""You sort of develop a sixth sense,"" he says, and he has become acutely attuned to what works and doesn't work in each individual case.With his expertise in high demand, Dr. Held also works to pass on his knowledge to the next generation of surgeons, training medical students as part of the Initial Clinical Experience (ICE) program at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. With such a longstanding career, its this opportunity to act as mentor that keeps him coming back for more.". Dr. Held is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hernia.

    What is the definition of Hernia?

    A hernia is a sac formed by the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). The sac comes through a hole or weak area in the strong layer of the belly wall that surrounds the muscle. This layer is called the fascia.

    Which type of hernia you have depends on where it is:

    • Femoral hernia is a bulge in the upper thigh, just below the groin. This type is more common in women than men.
    • Hiatal hernia occurs in the diaphragm muscle that separates the chest and abdomen. Part of the upper stomach pushes into the chest.
    • Incisional hernia can occur through a scar if you have had abdominal surgery in the past.
    • Umbilical hernia is a bulge around the belly button. Most often it occurs when the muscle around the belly button does not close completely after birth.
    • Inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin. It is more common in men. It may go all the way down into the scrotum.

    When should I see a Hernia doctor near Jamaica, NY?

    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 Hernia doctor near Jamaica, NY?

    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 Hernia doctors near Jamaica, NY?

    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 Hernia doctors near Jamaica, NY?

    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 Hernia doctor near Jamaica, NY?

    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 Hernia doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Hernia 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 Hernia doctor near Jamaica, NY?

    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 Hernia 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 Hernia 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 Hernia doctors near Jamaica, NY?

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

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