    I grew up in a small town in Argentina where everybody knows everybody. I trained at a hospital in Buenos Aires, was elected chief resident, and then received further training in neonatology and Emergency Medicine before moving to Wilmington with my wife, Dr. Petrini. I really enjoyed the time I spent training in medical school and I enjoyed the pediatric part the most. So I decided to take that path and have never regretted it. Kids have the fire inside, and bounce back quickly. I’m passionate about helping people in general, especially children. I advocate for immunizations, which are one of the wonders of medicine, along with educating kids about obesity, asthma and the importance of complying with medication regimens. These are very serious issues in many populations.My other big passion is creating a medical home for my patient families. The medical home concept combines teamwork and information technology to improve patient care, reduce health care costs, and improve patients’ experiences. The goal is to foster an ongoing partnership between patients and their health care providers. I did mission work with a group that spent a month helping people in the Andes mountain range in South America. It was a beautiful experience, sharing habits and culture, and it taught me to put myself in other people’s shoes and see things from their perspective. Dr. Vranic is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Swimmer's Ear. His top areas of expertise are Obesity in Children, Food Allergy, Common Cold, and Ethmoiditis.

    Dr. William J. Parkes, IV, is a pediatric otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat surgeon). His medical interests include hearing loss, cochlear implantation, chronic ear disease and cholesteatoma, tympanoplasty, endoscopic skull base surgery, thyroid and parathyroid surgery.Dr. Parkes first became involved with Nemours as a medical student and resident. After his fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, he made the choice to come back to Nemours to continue his career, where his practice focuses on the care of children with complex ear and hearing problems. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with children, while also having the trust of parents to care for their children surgically. When I can care for a child and provide an answer to medical problems it is incredibly rewarding. I’m most passionate about participating in the multidisciplinary care of children with complex head and neck problems. Examples include my work as the medical director of the Cochlear Implant Team, co-director of the Minimally Invasive Skull Base Surgery program (a partnership with Thomas Jefferson University physicians) and co-lead surgeon for the surgical care of children with thyroid and parathyroid problems at Nemours. I find every interaction with children and their families, big or small, a chance to make a difference. Whether in clinic or the operating room, there are multiple opportunities to be impactful every single day. Dr. Parkes is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Swimmer's Ear. His top areas of expertise are Ruptured Eardrum, Enlarged Adenoids, Otitis, and Hearing Loss.

    Dr. Richard Schmidt went to medical school at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. He attended Thomas Jefferson University for his internship and residency in otolaryngology before being called to a pediatric fellowship here at Nemours Children's Hospital, Delaware. Having a family of his own, Dr. Schmidt empathizes with parents of children with health problems, so his care for a patient also includes caring for the family. After treating adults for seven years in a general otolaryngology practice, I began a fellowship in pediatrics. During this time, I found my calling and a stronger connection to my work by treating children. I'm passionate about providing the highest quality care to patients. I understand the unique challenges of treating children and believe that specialized care requires a specialized facility designed to handle those unique challenges. This is what led me to Nemours Children’s Hospital. I take my time with my patients and their families. I make a difference by personally being “in the moment” with a family and treating them like my own. I strive to emulate the values of my role model, my own childhood pediatrician. Dr. Schmidt is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Swimmer's Ear. His top areas of expertise are Enlarged Adenoids, Otitis, Ruptured Eardrum, Adenoidectomy, and Myringotomy.

    I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I come from a family of educators and feel that I continue this tradition of teaching by helping to educate families as well as the next generation of clinicians. As a child, I was always curious. I was also an asthmatic, and so I saw my pediatrician often. I was always impressed by how kind and how knowledgeable my pediatrician was, and by how much she helped my family and me. My experiences with my pediatrician were a big part of why I decided to go into medicine, so I could help others like she helped me. I find working with children refreshing. They are full of energy, honest, resilient, and fun. They keep you on your toes — you never know what they might say or do. I enjoy helping to make children happy and healthy. I’m proud to be a member of the Division of Otolaryngology at Nemours, where every member strives to provide families the best possible care. Dr. Nardone is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Swimmer's Ear. Her top areas of expertise are Tonsillitis, Enlarged Adenoids, Otitis, Adenoidectomy, and Myringotomy.

    Anna Kolano, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician. She is an advocate for early literacy and reading to children. She feels privileged to care for children as they grow. I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, but I didn’t know what kind of doctor I wanted to become. I enjoyed my pediatrics rotation so much that choosing to be a pediatrician was ultimately an easy decision. I’m passionate about newborn care. There’s so much education that needs to happen for new parents. It’s such a special time for the family, especially if it’s a first child. I feel privileged that parents have chosen me to be a part of that experience. Parents don’t often have the family support that they might have had 50 years ago, so they really rely on their family doctor for information.I’m privileged to do what I do; I love my job every day. I have been with Nemours since 1996. Some of my former patients, now all grown up, are choosing me as their children’s pediatrician. It’s incredible! I’ve made such an impact on these people as children that they’re willing to trust their babies to me. I love that I can provide continuity of care within families. I’m an advocate for early literacy education and reading to your children. I’m part of the Reach Out and Read program in our office.Also, I do my best to support a new mother in her efforts to breastfeed. Dr. Kolano is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Swimmer's Ear. Her top areas of expertise are Food Allergy, Obesity in Children, Otitis, and Viral Pharyngitis.

    What is the definition of Swimmer's Ear?

    Swimmer's ear is inflammation, irritation, or infection of the outer ear and ear canal. The medical term for swimmer's ear is otitis externa.

    Swimmer's ear may be sudden and short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic).

    When should I see a Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear doctors near Wilmington, DE?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Swimmer's Ear 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 Swimmer's Ear doctor that offers video calls?

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