    Gerard Kuhn, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician. He is an advocate for early literacy. He serves on the board of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). I discovered during medical school that I enjoyed taking care of children most of all. I like being a part of helping families take care of their children’s health and watching them grow. I prefer the broad spectrum of pediatrics, which is why I went into primary care. I care about the quality of medical care children receive on a daily basis. I’m passionate about educating and coaching families in certain areas of childhood health that need attention. Childhood obesity is an example, where I help families understand the importance of healthy eating and exercise — and doing as both as a family.Another passion of mine would be helping families recognize the importance of early literacy. Again, this is a family activity. Children want to learn, and parents play a big part in that early learning by introducing books. I’m involved with Reach Out and Read. I’m involved with community service, like serving on the board of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to help lend some medical expertise. I’m also on the board of the Friends of the National Library of Medicine. Dr. Kuhn is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Food Allergy, Obesity in Children, Common Cold, and Developmental Dysphasia Familial.

    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. Sheahan is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Cluster Headache, Horseshoe Kidney, Food Allergy, Pancreaticoduodenectomy, and Stent Placement.
