Infectious Disease
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of infectious diseases with a strong commitment to education and prevention
Due to the nature of your illness, your primary care provider or specialist may recommend a consultation with an infectious disease specialist. For your health and safety, you should follow your provider’s instructions and schedule this appointment.
To schedule your Infectious Disease appointment call:

Most health insurance covers the infectious disease consultation and follow up care. Most insurance plans require you to obtain a referral from your primary care physician prior to being seen by the specialist. This referral must be obtained before you see the specialist. It is always a good idea to check with your insurance company prior to the appointment to confirm coverage.
