    I am honored and humbled to be trusted with the care of your children. It can be overwhelming when our children go through illness or struggles. I want my families to know I am here for them and they can reach out to me at any time. We are in this together. Children are easygoing, innocent and spontaneous. Their joy in small things is contagious. It is beautiful to hold a newborn and experience the wonder of a new life. Watching the unconditional love of a parent or grandparent and sharing in the joy they feel when their child achieves different milestones gives me immense happiness. Helping the vulnerable is especially important to me, as is preventing stress and stress-related diseases. I want to help children and families gain confidence in managing their health. I enjoy connecting parents to resources and teaching them how to use natural remedies whenever possible. It is immensely rewarding whenever I am able to guide a family through their challenges. I come from a small town in India and feel grateful my parents instilled kindness and compassion in me from a young age. I listen carefully to my patients and families and try to understand everything that affects them. Teaming up with parents means we can work together to guide children to be healthy, happy and confident adults. I am very focused on helping children be the healthiest they can be in every way — physically, socially, emotionally — and supporting them to achieve their highest potential in a natural, stress-free way. Dr. Desiraju is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pica. Her top areas of expertise are Food Allergy, Pinworms, Obesity in Children, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

    I grew up in a small town in Puerto Rico and moved to Florida in 2008 after completing my residency in Long Island, NY. I enjoy being a primary care pediatrician because it allows me to educate families to support their children’s development. I address a child’s well-being from all perspectives — physical, emotional and intellectual. My interest in pediatrics began during my rotation in medical school. I found that caring for children was immensely rewarding. Pediatrics involves a group of family-centered approaches to ensure a healthy development, and I enjoyed been part of that. Children always remind me what it's like to be happy, happy with the simple things in life. I am passionate about education and patient advocacy. One of the most important experiences I can provide for parents and their children is to talk and listen to them. I do my best to provide my patients the same level of care and compassion that I want for my own children. Dr. Rojas is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pica.

    I was born in Bermuda to Jamaican parents and raised and educated in the United States. Atlanta is my hometown, but Florida has become my second home. Gastroenterology gives me the opportunity to treat acute problems, such as vomiting, diarrhea and belly pain, as well as chronic conditions like Crohn’s disease and celiac diseases. Pediatrics gives me hope. The kids I meet are very resilient. I feel like I can make a difference in their lives and the lives of their families. I’m passionate about nutrition. It is personally satisfying to help children who are underweight get to a good place. I also care deeply about the welfare of children living with celiac disease. I try hard to help them and their families understand the gluten-free diet and navigate around lifestyle obstacles that can make it hard to follow. I try to make a difference by looking at the “big picture” well-being of a child, not just their specific GI disease. To be effective, I have to take the family situation into account. It’s important to always consider the total health of a child. Dr. Denham is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pica. Her top areas of expertise are Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC), Lactose Intolerance, Encopresis, and Malnutrition.

    I always knew I wanted to take care of children. I strongly believe that the pediatrician’s office should be the medical home for families and that each patient deserves the time to receive personalized and compassionate care. I grew up in Michigan, and am now a happy Florida transplant. My husband teaches chemistry at Rollins College. I love the adventure that I get to take with families as their small babies grow and move through all the milestones of childhood. The honesty and innocence of children never ceases to surprise me and put a smile on my face, even when they are not feeling well. I view it as a privilege to be a stable source of support for both patients and families. The bonds we form remind me of why I wanted to practice medicine in the first place. I am passionate about providing comprehensive, evidence-based, high-quality medicine to my patients. I recognize that every patient and family’s circumstances, background and medical issues are different, and I want to provide that individualized care that’s needed for them. I want to empower my patients and families to be as knowledgeable as possible about their health, and I encourage healthy lifestyle choices for the entire family. I try to draw from my past experiences and continue to push myself to be a lifelong learner of medicine. Being a new parent opened my eyes to what an awesome responsibility this is. It has given me an even better perspective on how important education, communication and reassurance is for my families. One of the most important things I can do as a doctor is to build trust with families. It takes time and true effort to truly appreciate their experiences.

    I began working at Nemours Children’s Hospital in July 2016 after completing my fellowship training at Nemours/duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware. I was excited to continue on with Nemours because I am proud to be a physician in an environment where we uphold the standards that your children are our No. 1 priority. I’ve always wanted to be a pediatrician. When I was five years old I remember telling my very own pediatrician, “One day, I’ll grow up and work at your office!” I chose gastroenterology because it’s a dynamic field where I get to work with kids of all ages in many different care settings including inpatient, outpatient and procedure.    I stand true with the “Your child, our promise” motto. I am excited to share the Nemours commitment to patient-centered care — medicine, which allows me to make a real difference in a family’s life. Every child has a right to play, eat and learn, and I believe it’s my duty to create a better world for kids to succeed. My passion is helping families build a healthy, peaceful environment for children to live symptom-free and achieve their highest potential.   I also enjoy giving lectures and providing mentorship to the physicians of tomorrow. Medicine allows me to make a real difference in a family’s life, which is why I stay up-to-date with the latest treatments and research. I have always been intrigued by new developments in medicine that create new hope for a child. I listen to my patients and parents and I’m always here to offer reassurance and a reason to smile — because kids deserve it.

    What is the definition of Pica?

    Pica is a pattern of eating non-food materials, such as dirt or paper.

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

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

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

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