    "Philosophy of care | It is rewarding to help people cope with the unknown - and sometimes life-threatening - illnesses. It is especially rewarding because we have increasingly sophisticated tools to diagnose and treat infections. | Why I entered medicine | A career in infectious diseases is challenging, exciting and hard work. Using training, intellect and the resources of modern medicine, I have the opportunity to help patients, families and communities deal with often frightening illnesses. Recent decades have seen the emergence of AIDS, SARS, Avian Flu, MRSA and dozens of ""mystery"" illnesses, which demonstrates the need to have some of the brightest and dedicated physicians go into the field of infectious diseases. | Community involvement | I participate in the Lehigh Valley's Bioterrorism Preparedness and the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness groups. | Personal interests | When not working I enjoy bike riding and swimming".

    "Philosophy of care | My general philosophy of medicine and treating patients is that I believe every patient requires the same level of excellent care. We always give 110 percent effort to each patient care problem. Our goal is to try to make a rapid diagnosis and institute an extremely effective treatment plan. In this regard we need to be committed fully to each patient every day, all the time so that we may provide the best level of service to our patients here at Lehigh Valley Health Network. We believe that each patient should be treated with the best scientific technology, but also with as much compassion as possible, thus combining the best of science and the art of medicine. | Why I entered medicine | I had several relatives who were physicians. They were great role models for me in my younger years. I always looked up to them as well-regarded professionals in their field. They were extremely well-regarded within our family as well. They were very compassionate people who went out of their way to help others. They were very successful in their scientific careers. This greatly influenced my decision to enter the field of medicine. I chose the field of infectious diseases because our cases are always fascinating and at times quite difficult. Diagnosis often requires a significant amount of investigation, often ""sleuthing"" in a detective-style fashion that I find extremely exciting. In our field there are always new diseases, such as the recent SARS epidemic, Avian influenza and many others that require immediate action. This keeps the level of scientific interest quite high and makes the job very challenging, and I enjoy that. | Personal interests | At the present time I have very little spare time. The free time I do have I enjoy with my family, often at sporting events or other family outings. I do enjoy photography as a hobby and hopefully will be able to devote more time to that in the near future.". Dr. Knouse is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Strep Throat. His top areas of expertise are Osteomyelitis in Children, Lymphangitis, Bacterial Gastroenteritis, and Cellulitis.

    What is the definition of Strep Throat?

    Strep throat is a disease that causes a sore throat (pharyngitis). It is an infection with a bacteria called group A streptococcus.

    When should I see a Strep Throat doctor near Bethlehem, PA?

    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 Strep Throat doctor near Bethlehem, PA?

    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 Strep Throat doctors near Bethlehem, PA?

    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 Strep Throat doctors near Bethlehem, PA?

    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 Strep Throat doctor near Bethlehem, PA?

    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 Strep Throat doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Strep Throat 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 Strep Throat doctor near Bethlehem, PA?

    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 Strep Throat 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 Strep Throat 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 Strep Throat doctors near Bethlehem, PA?

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

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