    Philosophy of care | Theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, “The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” I believe children are the most important members of our community. Not only because they are the future, but because they are our present joy and pride. They reflect who we once were and what we value today. | Why I entered medicine | I am committed to delivering the highest quality of care, developing strong relationships and serving others in a manner that is impactful. | Community involvement | I support both local and international charities. I have volunteered in medical missions in Guatemala and continue to seek opportunities to help make our world a better place. | Personal interests | Music is one of my greatest passions. I play piano, guitar and bass. I was once music director for an a cappella group, and I continue to sing and play music for my church. I also love to play sports, especially basketball, softball, volleyball and golf. Mostly, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children.

    "Philosophy of care | To provide my best care for children and families, regardless of who they are, where they are from or what is going on in their lives. I believe every kid in this world deserves access to the best possible care. I have spent the last 16 years practicing inpatient and outpatient complex care pediatrics locally as well as developing global health programs so other countries can improve their quality and access to care. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to be a doctor from an early age; one of my aunts had surgery and then we watched the same surgery in school. I saw medicine as a challenging career that allowed me to work closely with families. I tell students I was drawn to pediatrics because I loved the range of diseases and working with children, but really, I am just a big kid myself, so it seems fitting to work with my ""peers."" | Community involvement | I have always been very active in my community. I have been a Cub scoutmaster and a church elder and coached Little League and travel baseball more than a decade. I truly believe part of caring for a community is also participating in that community. I have tried to be as involved as my job would allow. | Personal interests | I very much enjoy sports and have three children playing sports in college. I will stop and watch any sporting event anywhere no matter the age of the participants. I also spend free time on woodworking or taking hikes and walks.".

    What is the definition of Trisomy 13?

    Trisomy 13, also called Patau syndrome, is a chromosomal condition associated with severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities in many parts of the body. Individuals with trisomy 13 often have heart defects, brain or spinal cord abnormalities, very small or poorly developed eyes (microphthalmia), extra fingers or toes, an opening in the lip (a cleft lip) with or without an opening in the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate), and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). Due to the presence of several life-threatening medical problems, many infants with trisomy 13 die within their first days or weeks of life. Only five percent to 10 percent of children with this condition live past their first year.

    When should I see a Trisomy 13 doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    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 Trisomy 13 doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    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 Trisomy 13 doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

    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 Trisomy 13 doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

    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 Trisomy 13 doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    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 Trisomy 13 doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Trisomy 13 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 Trisomy 13 doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    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 Trisomy 13 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 Trisomy 13 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 Trisomy 13 doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Trisomy 13 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 Trisomy 13 doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Trisomy 13 doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
