    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. Dr. Patrone is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Short Philtrum. Her top areas of expertise are Common Cold, Food Allergy, Obesity in Children, and Otitis.

    My father was a health and physical education teacher who inspired my interest in the human body. I find all aspects of my specialty fascinating, but I have a particular interest in conditions that affect children. My wife and I have two children. We are a family that enjoys outdoor activities and sports. Children are our future and treating them reminds me of the best in humanity. Their innocence and potential motivate me to advocate on their behalf. I find it very rewarding to help a child overcome obstacles so they can reach their full potential. The ability to hear, taste, smell and speak is integral to the human experience. When one or more of these senses is compromised in a child, it can challenge their drive and creativity and test their family. It brings me special satisfaction to improve or restore these gifts through medical management, or in some cases, surgical intervention.In addition to the other expertises listed, Dr. Pritchett has expertise in treating:Allergic fungal sinusitisParotid tumorsSalivary stonesMicrotia/AtresiaLaryngomalaciaLymphatic malformationCongenital airway anomaliesChoanal atresiaPyriform aperature stenosisAuditory neuropathy Humans are complex creatures with physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional needs. Practicing medicine in this context is important to me, even as a surgeon. I see a child in holistic terms, not just as my patient.

His top areas of expertise are Hearing Loss, Infant Hearing Loss, Otitis, Myringotomy, and Adenoidectomy.

    I was born into an agricultural family and grew up on a produce farm in California. But I decided I wanted to branch out into something different than our family business. That's how I discovered medicine as a profession. It's a wonderful thing to do what you love and feel like you can make a difference in people's lives. It wasn't my initial plan to work in pediatrics. But being a big kid myself, it was natural for me to gravitate toward working with children. I like being there to help them. Kids get sick through no fault of their own. My philosophy is that we owe them everything we can do to help them feel better. My clinical focus is treating children with airway obstructions, whether due to asthma or for some other reason. Most of all, I want to help as many kids as I can to live happier, healthier lives.In addition to the other expertises listed, Dr. Kanamori has expertise in treating:Allergic fungal sinusitisCongenital airway anomaliesLaryngomalacia Since we moved to Orlando, my family and I have gotten involved with Give Kids the World Village, a nonprofit resort where children with life-threatening illness and their families are treated to free storybook vacations. We decided as a family to spend time there helping the kids enjoy their experience. Dr. Kanamori is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Short Philtrum. His top areas of expertise are Enlarged Adenoids, Otitis, Low Nasal Bridge, and Nasal Septal Hematoma.

    What is the definition of Short Philtrum?

    A short philtrum is a shorter than normal distance between the upper lip and the nose.

    When should I see a Short Philtrum 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 Short Philtrum 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 Short Philtrum 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 Short Philtrum 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 Short Philtrum 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 Short Philtrum doctor search results page. 

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

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

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