USA Health infectious disease specialists care for patients who have various types of infections caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites.
Through our clinical care and research, we strive to find more advanced treatments and, ultimately, cures for infections. Along with educating our patients on signs, symptoms and prevention of infectious diseases, we also promote awareness throughout our community in efforts to prevent the spread of diseases. We also operate a travel clinic for people who may be going abroad and require certain vaccinations for diseases not common in this country.
