What Is a Pediatric Plastic Surgeon?

A pediatric plastic surgeon is a special type of plastic surgeon who has sought additional training in the treatment of complex congenital deformities. Kids can have complex problems that most plastic surgeons do not see on a regular basis – problems that require a specific set of skills and a certain amount of knowledge to treat. In the same way that pediatricians differ from internal medicine doctors, pediatric plastic surgeons are different than general plastic surgeons. Kids may have problems such as cleft lip/palate, craniofacial disorders, hemangiomas, congenital tumors, birth defects, dog bites and more that require a specific expertise to treat correctly.

Pediatricians typically prefer sending their patients to pediatric subspecialists. Most surgical subspecialties like general surgery, ENT, orthopedics and neurosurgery all have pediatric branches. Plastic surgery is no different. The problems of children are not the same as adults. Therefore, finding a plastic surgeon that specializes in the problems facing your child is very important.
Referrals

If your insurance is an HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit. Please coordinate this with your primary care physician in advance. Appointments will be rescheduled if required referrals are not received in the office by the time of your visit.
Caring for Florida and beyond

Dr. Stelnicki is licensed to practice medicine in multiple states. This allows him to have an even greater impact on patients with specialized surgical needs. In addition to Florida, Dr. Stelnicki is licensed in Alabama, California, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Telemedicine appointments available

Pediatrix Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialists offers remote/distance visits to diagnose and treat patients. Telemedicine is a great option if you are away or traveling. It provides easy access to your clinician if you have trouble making it into the doctor’s office due to mobility or transportation issues, a busy schedule or illnesses. Virtual visits are also an easy way to get a second opinion. Many people avoid getting a second opinion because it can be a time-consuming hassle. If you’ve already seen a health care provider about an issue requiring aesthetic or reconstructive surgery but want a second opinion before moving forward, you’ve come to the right place. Our plastic and oral surgery specialists can meet with you at a convenient time, and you don’t even have to come into the office.

**Please note that not all patients are eligible for telemedicine visits; it will depend on a patient’s diagnosis.

Call our office to discuss scheduling a telemedicine appointment.
