Overview

Dr. Kirk W. Reichard is the clinical director, Division of General Surgery; surgical director of the O.R. and the Bariatric Surgery Program; medical director, Nemours Partners for Perinatal Management; fellow, American College of Surgeons and American Academy of Pediatrics; and member, Children’s Oncology Group and American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. He completed a four-year stint as president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Delaware Chapter. My grandfather was a physician, so I was inspired to go into medicine at an early age. As a doctor, I feel I can really make a difference in the lives of children because they have so much ahead of them. One of my top priorities is to help children and their families learn how to lead healthier, happier lives. I see how resilient children are and the positive attitudes they maintain daily. I’m passionate about quality improvement, operational excellence, and clinical standardization. I try to lead continuous and quality improvement by being a model in the workplace. I make a difference by advocating nationally for the well-being of children.
