Infectious Disease

Expertise to diagnose and treat acute and chronic infections.

When an infection doesn’t have a simple answer, we’re here to help find one. Our team treats adults with conditions ranging from complicated urinary tract and chronic lung infections to hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis and infections affecting the heart, bones and soft tissues.

When your care involves multiple providers, we work together. Our team collaborates with you, your primary care provider and other specialists to develop an evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your needs—and help you understand your diagnosis, your options and what comes next.
