Dr. Loren Berman is a pediatric general surgeon, an active researcher, and an author of peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. She enjoys training the next generation of pediatric surgeons. Another role she enjoys here at Nemours is working on maintaining quality and safety to deliver the highest quality of care. Even when I was a child, I was curious about the human body, how it works and why it sometimes doesn’t. The more I learned, the more I realized I wanted to know how to fix things that go wrong. I came upon surgery to do that in a very hands-on fashion. I like working with children, and find them to be full of energy, incredibly resilient and inspiring as patients. I also appreciate the chance to form relationships with their parents. Family-centered medicine is much more than a buzzword. Outcomes improve when the family is part of the care team. I enjoy helping that happen. I value the relationships that I build with kids and parents, and I see most of them again in follow-ups. I love taking care of babies — and supporting their families through what can be an intense time in their lives. Unlike many adult surgeons, my job doesn’t end with surgery. I will often see a family many times for follow-up visits. I get to know them well. I feel involved for the long-term.I also enjoy watching a resident grow and hearing from them once they are practicing surgeons and training other surgeons. I find joy in seeing the impact when I develop a standardized process to improve care and can see the improvement. One of my primary roles as a surgeon is to be a teacher. I am committed not only to helping my patients and their families understand their disease process but also to training future surgeons. There are a few people who have inspired me and really stand out in my life as role models. I hope to serve the same function for future generations.
