Overview

As a young child I was hospitalized several times. My own pediatricians were role models for me and influenced my decision to become a doctor. In medical school I had the chance to be mentored by Dr. Mohsen Ziai, MD, a world-renowned pediatrician who fueled my desire to go into general pediatrics. I feel that caring for the whole child is paramount and love this quote from the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” While I practice general pediatrics, I particularly have an interest in infectious diseases and allergy/asthma. I also over the years have grown to enjoy treating youth athletes, having watched my own 3 adult children grow up playing various sports. Evidence-based care and safe care are the cornerstones of how I try to approach each patient, to ensure a quality outcome at the end of the day.  Each day some child makes me laugh and that simple, joyful interaction is what keeps me going after all these years. I fully embrace the Nemours goal to produce the healthiest generation of children and therefore make time to engage in advocacy, working with organizations and government to do things that improve their lives, health, and safety. I have served as an appointed member of several state and local committees and work groups, past president of the Delaware Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, past vice president of the Medical Society of DE and currently am active with the Government Affairs Committee of the Medical Society of Delaware, serving as its Vice Chair/Chair Elect. I have a strong connection to my church, Grace Church Dover, and serve on its Missions Committee.

Dr. Andreas Bollmann is a board-certified pediatrician, an advisory board member of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, a member and fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP). He's been a published author of peer-reviewed medical journal articles, a researcher and a medical educator. The greatest joy of being a pediatrician is seeing my patients and their families grow, change and achieve. I believe in preventative care. As pediatricians, we are the first line in ensuring that children are recognized, diagnosed and treated properly — often working like a detective with a magnifying glass — dosed with plenty of silliness and empathy. When I wake up in the morning I smile, knowing that I am doing exactly what I was made to do. Having trained in both Europe and the United States, I have been exposed to many perspectives on health care and wellness. I’m passionate about constantly striving to learn and improve myself to better advise and care for my patients and their loved ones. It is important to me to accompany my patients through to their young adulthoods, and help caregivers navigate our ever-changing health care system. I want my patients to feel comfortable with themselves, embrace a healthy lifestyle, and achieve to their potential. I hope to be a good listener and encourage a dialogue. Dr. Bollmann is highly rated in 18 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Pulmonary Vein Stenosis, Ventricular Tachycardia, Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), Cardiac Ablation, and Gallbladder Removal. Dr. Bollmann is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics.
