    I began my medical education in India, then moved to Brooklyn, New York for a residency in pediatrics. After caring for children as a general pediatrician for several years, I entered a fellowship program in pediatric emergency medicine. I also completed a fellowship in emergency ultrasound so I could bring that technology to help my patients. I think kids should always be happy and playful. So when they’re not, I like to be there with my team to do everything we can to get them well and happy again. Helping children heal is a wonderful, fulfilling experience for everyone involved. My passion is to be there for the child. By helping both the child and family to the very best of my ability, I can help make a difficult situation easier. One of the ways I contribute to quality care is by using new technologies in my work. I’m well aware that an emergency room is not where a family likes to spend their free time. It’s normal to have concerns, and part of my job is listening to and addressing the concerns of parents and other family members. They are a child’s most important caregivers, and I’m here to support them. Dr. Chavda is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pertussis. He is also highly rated in 5 other conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Croup, Viral Gastroenteritis, Asthma in Children, and Scarlet Fever.

I experience immense satisfaction from treating and interacting with children of all ages. Every time I can get a child to smile and make a child feel better, it gives me a special feeling in my heart. I’m passionate about access to health care for all children and providing patients with cutting-edge medical care, technology, and therapy.

    From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to be a physician when I grew up. My interest in pediatrics began after I moved to the United States in 1996. I speak English and Urdu fluently, and Spanish well enough to talk with patients and families without a translator. My favorite ways to relax are fishing and bicycling. Caring for sick children is a calling. It is the best feeling in the world to put a smile back on a child’s face. I care deeply about bringing high-quality care to all patients, including children who live in smaller communities. I strongly believe that good communication is very important for good care. I love talking to families and empowering them so they can help their child heal. Dr. Ali is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pertussis.

    My wife and I have two adult daughters, both of whom — like me — are outspoken on the subject of immunizations. They were among the first girls in Chicago to get the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine. One of our daughters now works in health policy research. We believe that immunizations are what we do to protect ourselves and each other. Like every pediatrician, I love children and want the best for them. I also enjoy being around other people who care for children. I have found that people in the pediatric field tend to value the same things — children, family and each other. I’m very passionate about immunizing children against diseases. It is the single most beneficial thing pediatricians and health providers can do for a child’s health. One of my focus areas at Nemours is to promote school-located vaccination. I also helped create the Nemours International Adoption Medicine Program. I work hard to educate the public about the importance of childhood immunizations. I educate doctors and parents here in the United States and I travel globally to educate people in other countries. I try to engage people around important issues in child health, particularly immunization, which is our best defense against so many serious diseases.

    What is the definition of Pertussis?

    Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial disease that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing. The coughing can make it hard to breathe. A deep "whooping" sound is often heard when the person tries to take a breath.

    When should I see a Pertussis 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 Pertussis 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 Pertussis 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 Pertussis 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 Pertussis 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 Pertussis doctor search results page. 

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

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

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