    Andrew Dauber, MD, MMSc, is the chief of endocrinology at Children’s National Hospital. As a pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Dauber works in all areas of pediatric endocrinology, but specializes in studying and treating growth disorders. Dr. Dauber has published more than 65 studies and regularly speaks at international pediatric endocrinology conferences, discussing a variety of topics, including clinical clues to identify rare genetic growth conditions, genetic factors that influence height and the timing of puberty, as well as novel genetic disorders that he has helped identify. He is the recipient of the 2020 Richard E. Weitzman Outstanding Early Career Investigator Award from the Endocrine Society for successfully applying innovative genetic technologies to pediatric endocrinology. With a medical degree and a Master’s of Medical Sciences in Clinical Investigation from Harvard Medical School, Dr. Dauber finds it natural to merge academic research with its clinical counterparts to accelerate cutting-edge treatment and multidisciplinary care. He is currently working with pediatric health centers to integrate genomics into patient registries and electronic health records, harnessing large data sets, including whole-exome sequences, to help clinicians identify and treat high-risk patients. Over the next few years, Dr. Dauber will create an endocrinology research program at Children’s National, transforming the type of care that children with endocrine disorders receive. This will make it easier for parents to find comprehensive resources for rare conditions, thyroid problems, growth disorders, early or delayed puberty, as well as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Dr. Dauber also has experience with guiding joint infrastructures and engines of innovation. Previously, he served as the program director and director of translational research at the interdisciplinary Cincinnati Center for Growth Disorders at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Additionally, he was the director of their Genomics First for Undiagnosed Diseases Program and guided medical residents and fellows as an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati.

    What is the definition of RASopathies?

    RASopathies are a group of rare syndromes causes by mutations in the genes that make proteins for the Ras/MAPK cell signaling pathway. This pathway controls cell functions such as cell growth, cell maturation, and cell death. There are several types of RASopathy syndromes, including cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, Costello syndrome, Legius syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 1, Noonan syndrome, and capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome.

    When should I see a RASopathies doctor near Washington, DC?

    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 RASopathies doctor near Washington, DC?

    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 RASopathies doctors near Washington, DC?

    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 RASopathies doctors near Washington, DC?

    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 RASopathies doctor near Washington, DC?

    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 RASopathies doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different RASopathies 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 RASopathies doctor near Washington, DC?

    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 RASopathies 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 RASopathies 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 RASopathies doctors near Washington, DC?

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

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