    Dr. Stephen P. Dunn is chief of the Division of Solid Organ Transplantation. He's also a professor of surgery and pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University, an international presenter, and an author of more than 100 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and abstracts. When I was young, the physicians I first heard about were missionaries and I always thought that what they were doing was really important. It seemed to me that helping other people who were sick was one of the best things I could do with my life. I made that decision early — while in middle school. Over time, I knew I wanted to help children. I've always loved being around kids. Their innocence is amazing. It's a privilege to care for them and to earn the trust of their parents.I see life as a service. And the best service I can provide is to use the things I know to give children a second chance. Nothing is more rewarding than knowing we helped someone to have a normal childhood and grow up to live a happy, productive life as a result of our solid organ transplantation program. I'm passionate about taking solid organ transplant programs to the next level — introducing what we've learned to societies that haven't been able to take advantage of these medical techniques before. So I devote a lot of energy to discussing and critiquing work that's going on in transplantation programs for children around the world.I'm very fortunate to have a family that supports me in this. My wife and kids have always acted like they were part of the team that sent me to work every day. I owe them everything. I really want to help heal children through my work. We've found a better way to treat a specific liver-related form of high blood pressure and I'm working toward more children being treated using this technique.I’ve also tried to use what I've learned to help children in need in other countries. The missionary physicians I had heard of when I was young inspired me to do something similar. I've set up viable solid organ transplant programs in Bolivia and India and established a live-donor liver transplant program in Philadelphia.This work has attracted numerous like-minded physicians and health professionals, and I'm especially proud that many of them have followed me to Nemours. Dr. Dunn is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in Kidney Transplant. His top areas of expertise are Hepatoblastoma, Hepatic Cystic Hamartoma, Liver Cancer, Liver Transplant, and Hepatectomy.

    What is the definition of Kidney Transplant?

    A kidney transplant is surgery to place a healthy kidney into a person with kidney failure.

    When should I see a Kidney Transplant doctor near Wilmington, DE?

    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 Kidney Transplant doctor near Wilmington, DE?

    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 Kidney Transplant doctors near Wilmington, DE?

    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 Kidney Transplant doctors near Wilmington, DE?

    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 Kidney Transplant doctor near Wilmington, DE?

    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 Kidney Transplant doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Kidney Transplant 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 Kidney Transplant doctor near Wilmington, DE?

    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 Kidney Transplant 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 Kidney Transplant 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 Kidney Transplant doctors near Wilmington, DE?

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

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