Referral Form

Infectious diseases are caused by microscopic organisms that penetrate the body’s natural barriers and multiply to create symptoms that can range from mild to deadly. Although progress has been made to eradicate or control many infectious diseases, humankind remains vulnerable to a wide array of new and resurgent organisms.

Your doctor might refer you to an infectious disease specialist when:

• an infection is difficult to diagnose
• an infection is accompanied by high fever
• a patient does not respond to treatment
• a healthy person plans to travel to a foreign country or a location where infection risk is high
• treating illnesses becomes a part of a patient's overall care (for example, a patient with HIV/AIDS)

In all of these cases, the specialized training and diagnostic tools of the infectious disease specialist can help determine the cause of your infection as well as the best approach to treatment.

In selecting a personal doctor, have you considered a physician who specializes in ADULT healthcare?

Doctors of Internal Medicine are trained in the prevention and treatment of adult diseases.  They can serve your medical needs throughout your life, from as early as the teens (age 16) through the "senior" years.

Our doctors of Internal Medicine focus on prevention and early detection of catastrophic illnesses. They can provide screening and treatment of cholesterol disorders, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, thyroid disorders and cancer.

Annual health exams and routine sick visits can be handled by our internists, with many clinics offering same-day appointments when you are ill.
