    Medicine seems to run in my family. My father trained as a physician in Iceland, and my childhood was split between the US and Reykjavik, Iceland. At first, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but once in medical school I had my heart set on Pediatrics from the start. I love kids. With eight children of my own I have realized that every child is unique and that there is no one right way to parent. Parents can be certain that I will be upfront with them regarding their child’s illness. I treat people the way I want to be treated when I step into a physician’s office with one of my kids. I try to listen more than I speak and learn from others at every opportunity. To me the treatment of a child is a collaboration between the child, his/her parents and the physician and team at Nemours. Together we will find the best solution, always.

    Growing up, my younger sister was ill and frequently in the hospital. Because of her, I decided I wanted to become a pediatrician while I was still in grade school. My husband, children, and the rest of my family are the reason I’m the pediatrician I am today. They have taught me so much about the personal side of medicine. I have always had a special place in my heart for babies and children. At one time, I thought of specializing in neonatology. Then we had our first daughter while I was in medical school, and I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her. Since neonatology involves long hours in the hospital, I made the decision to care for families in my community instead. I can always go back for a specialty fellowship — while I can't go back and watch my children grow up. I’m passionate about family-centered care, with the doctor and the family working as a team to help each child grow up to reach their full potential. I had personal experience of being a parent of children who required specialized care when my twins were born at 29 weeks. We are very fortunate that they are happy and healthy now. But it was eye-opening to be on the other side as the parent in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). I work hard to balance my roles as mother, wife and pediatrician. I think this gives me insight into the balancing act that being a parent is for most people. I relate to other moms and dads and enjoy building relationships with families. By establishing mutual trust, we can be a true support system for growing children. Dr. Morris is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hydranencephaly. She is also highly rated in 2 other conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Obesity in Children, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Delayed Growth, and Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP). Dr. Morris is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.

    Dr. Elias is a native Floridian who grew up in Titusville. She went to medical school at the University of Miami School of Medicine and did her residency at Arnold Palmer Hospital. She also has a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. She has three children whose age span ranges from elementary school to young adult. Growing up, my role model was my father — a physician who practiced until he was 81 years old. But I chose children because I am grateful for the opportunity to make an impact on a child's development. I love all children, from babies to teenagers. As a parent myself, I like to mentor and help other parents deal with behavioral issues and getting past the tough toddler years. I’m passionate about good health and nutrition. I tend to take a whole-body approach to children’s healthcare and consider how nutrition, sleep and exercise can have an impact on their well-being. I make a point of giving each family and child the attention they deserve. I take the time to address all their concerns, knowing that every question is important.

    I love being a pediatrician. No parent or child wants to spend a night at the hospital. The hospital can be a scary experience for everyone involved: not knowing what to expect, being away from the familiar routines of home and school, and (on top of it all) worrying about illness and discomfort. During medical school, I was surprised by how much seeing a child in need energized me to take action. For those moments that I am with them, their world is my world. I am honored to be given the opportunity to work with children in this setting. My goal is to help mitigate fears and work with families and their child/children towards returning everyone to health and play. To get them back to being ballerinas, astronauts, firefighters and superheroes. I believe health for children is not only freedom from disease, but access to quality education, housing, nutrition, relationships and resources. To that goal, I have worked with the Virginia Department of Health, Richmond City Health Department, spoken at both the state and national government levels with House Representatives and Senators, served in the Virginia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and was involved regionally in the southeast and nationally with leadership in the American Academy of Pediatrics — advocating for more equitable and evidence-driven care. By being a voice for children. By holding myself up to the highest standards so I can be the best pediatrician for your child and family. Dr. Kopsombut is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hydranencephaly. She is also highly rated in 1 other condition, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Malnutrition, Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+), Delayed Growth, and Cerebral Hypoxia.

    What is the definition of Hydranencephaly?

    Hydranencephaly is a rare condition in which the brain's cerebral hemispheres are absent and replaced by sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Affected infants may appear and act normal at birth, but irritability and hypertonia often develop within a few weeks. Other signs and symptoms may include seizures, hydrocephalus, visual impairment, lack of growth, deafness, blindness, paralysis, and intellectual disabilities.

    When should I see a Hydranencephaly doctor near Orlando, FL?

    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 Hydranencephaly doctor near Orlando, FL?

    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 Hydranencephaly doctors near Orlando, FL?

    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 Hydranencephaly doctors near Orlando, FL?

    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 Hydranencephaly doctor near Orlando, FL?

    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 Hydranencephaly doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Hydranencephaly 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 Hydranencephaly doctor near Orlando, FL?

    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 Hydranencephaly 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 Hydranencephaly 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 Hydranencephaly doctors near Orlando, FL?

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

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