    Scott L. Weiss, MD MSCE FCCM is an associate professor of pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University and division chief of critical care medicine at Nemours Children’s Hospital. Previously, Dr. Weiss was on the faculty at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he earned recognition as an international expert in pediatric sepsis.  Dr. Weiss’ NIH-funded research focuses on epidemiology, fluid resuscitation and mitochondrial dysfunction in pediatric sepsis. Medicine offers a rare opportunity to engage with an individual at a vulnerable point of suffering from illness or injury, especially in critical care. I wear this as a badge of humility and respect for our patients and families. When the patient is a child, the trust offered by a family is particularly noteworthy and opportunity to support health and well-being is particularly impactful. I am also constantly amazed that, despite not feeling their best, children look to play, smile and enjoy life rather than seeing themselves as patients.  In the intensive care unit, I am inspired every day by the children and their families, which drives me to provide the best care possible. My clinical focus is on children with sepsis, which is a medical emergency of life-threatening organ failure caused by a severe infection. I have been privileged to work with local, national and international teams to optimize systems and methods to recognize and treat sepsis in children to reduce negative impacts that this illness can have on families. In addition to my clinical responsibilities in the pediatric ICU, I work as a scientist studying mechanisms of organ failure during sepsis. In particular, I focus on the role of mitochondria in sepsis. Mitochondria are the parts of our cells that produce the energy our body needs to stay healthy. My research seeks to understand how sepsis damages mitochondria, in order to develop new therapies that will promote recovery from sepsis-induced organ failure. Dr. Weiss is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Infant Botulism. His clinical expertise encompasses Infant Botulism, Cardiofaciocutaneous Syndrome, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection, and RASopathies. Dr. Weiss is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.

    What is the definition of Infant Botulism?

    Infant botulism is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. It can grow inside a baby's gastrointestinal tract.

    When should I see an Infant Botulism doctor in The United States?

    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 an Infant Botulism doctor in The United States?

    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 Infant Botulism doctors in The United States?

    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 Infant Botulism doctors in The United States?

    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 an Infant Botulism doctor in The United States?

    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 Infant Botulism doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Infant Botulism 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 an Infant Botulism doctor in The United States?

    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 Infant Botulism 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 Infant Botulism 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 Infant Botulism doctors in The United States?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Infant Botulism 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 an Infant Botulism doctor that offers video calls?

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