    Dr. Charles Paidas is chief of the Division of Pediatric General Surgery. He's been a medical school vice dean and professor, invited lecturer, researcher, author and editor of major medical journals. He's board-certified in general surgery, pediatric surgery and surgical critical care, and has treated kids and teens for more than 30 years. Everything starts with childhood. I've always been fascinated with children — and families as a whole. I'm very interested in the role of healthy families in the greater framework of society.  Another subject that fascinates me is embryology (the study of babies while they grow and develop in the womb) and the health of babies before they're even born. I'm passionate about us delivering valuable, team-based, safe health care for children.  And I'm passionate about training future physicians, and believe that a hospital’s participation in good, solid graduate medical education (programs that train medical school graduates in their residencies and fellowships) is a big asset to the organization — and to patients and families — providing real benefits in the enhanced quality of care that it helps achieve. In addition to caring for children, one way I work to make a difference is through my emphasis on faculty development, including areas such as physician wellness and professionalism. I also try to make a difference in the field of medicine through my participation and membership in The Society of University Surgeons and The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma. Dr. Paidas is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Rectal Prolapse. He is also highly rated in 12 other conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Atresia of Small Intestine, Pilonidal Sinus Disease, Retroperitoneal Inflammation, and Annular Pancreas. Dr. Paidas is board certified in American Board Of Surgery.

    Dr. Liese Pruitt is a board-certified pediatric surgeon with additional fellowship training in pediatric colorectal surgery. In additional to her interest in complex colorectal conditions and minimally invasive surgery Dr. Pruitt is active in mixed methods clinical research to improve patient outcomes and family experiences of surgical care. I treat children because they are resilient and have amazing future potential. In helping a child, you have a chance not only to change their whole future life but also to shape the future of their entire family. They are funny, passionate, and continually teach me new things about the world. I also love that as a pediatric surgeon you continue to follow your patients throughout their life and see who they develop into. I love tackling a complex program and finding a way to fit all the pieces together to have a successful outcome. Whether that is a complex congenital anomaly that needs surgery or a complex set of social circumstances that requires extra creativity and support from our team for a family to be successful. I love operating on children and seeing how even a small elective surgery can have a huge impact. One of the primary roles of an excellent surgeon is to be a good listener. Performing surgery on a child is a privilege and the relationship and trust between the family (parents and child) and the surgeon is critical. I believe that taking the time to listen and understand a family’s concerns and then address any concerns that they have and explain the treatment plan is essential. This helps me build a plan for the child that meets everyone’s needs. Dr. Pruitt is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Rectal Prolapse. She is also highly rated in 2 other conditions, according to our data.

    What is the definition of Rectal Prolapse?

    Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum sags and comes through the anal opening.

    When should I see a Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse 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 Rectal Prolapse doctors near Wilmington, DE?

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

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