    Dr. Joel D. Temple is director of electrophysiology, a pediatric cardiologist, frequently invited lecturer and author of more than a dozen abstracts and journal articles. He’s a member of the American Medical Association, American College of Cardiology, Heart Rhythm Society and Pediatric Electrophysiology Society. I really enjoy taking part in the care of children, especially since they often can't take care of themselves, and they may have a cardiac condition through no fault of their own. It's extremely rewarding, because the care we give can last a lifetime. I enjoy the process of educating parents about how to care for their young ones. Even if they come to me upset and concerned, I try to provide them with the knowledge they need to successfully care for their child after they leave the hospital. I love what I do. I enjoy working with children and families, and I enjoy working in the cardiac catheterization lab. I'm excited about the cutting-edge technology aspect of it and the fact that the technology can make a real difference for our patients. The techniques we use in the lab are very advanced and hands-on and can correct problems without the need for surgery. In fact, the field of electrophysiology (the science of diagnosing and treating the heart though electrical properties) is one of the most advanced fields in medicine right now, and it's advancing our understanding of conditions such as arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.Outside of work, people might be interested to know that I went to college on a music scholarship and still play the trombone in local bands and orchestras. I'm never happier than when I'm putting my medical knowledge and the technology of electrophysiology to use to correct a young patient’s situation. I try to make a difference with my approach too. I always make sure to include parents as an integral part of the care we deliver. I never want to make decisions for them, so I make sure they're a part of any decisions that need to be made. Also, I'm always honest, almost to a fault. If I don't the answer to something, I'll tell a parent. And then I'll make it my business to find the answer. Dr. Temple is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Heterotaxy Syndrome. He is also highly rated in 22 other conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Timothy Syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Long QT Syndrome 5, and Ventricular Fibrillation. Dr. Temple is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.

    What is the definition of Heterotaxy Syndrome?

    Heterotaxy syndrome is a condition in which the internal organs are abnormally arranged in the chest and abdomen. The term "heterotaxy" is from the Greek words "heteros," meaning "other than," and "taxis," meaning "arrangement." Individuals with this condition have complex birth defects affecting the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, intestines, and other organs.

    When should I see a Heterotaxy Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    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 Heterotaxy Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    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 Heterotaxy Syndrome doctors in Delaware, US?

    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 Heterotaxy Syndrome doctors in Delaware, US?

    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 Heterotaxy Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    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 Heterotaxy Syndrome doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Heterotaxy Syndrome 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 Heterotaxy Syndrome doctor in Delaware, US?

    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 Heterotaxy Syndrome 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 Heterotaxy Syndrome 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 Heterotaxy Syndrome doctors in Delaware, US?

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

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