Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, parasites or viruses. Different types of diseases are spread in various ways, such as through direct contact with an infected person, by animal or insect bite or from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.

Vaccinations, proper hygiene and medications can sometimes prevent infectious diseases, and some infectious diseases can be treated with medication and rest. However, more severe infectious diseases may require hospitalization and advanced care.

We know that being diagnosed with certain infectious diseases can feel overwhelming. That's why our doctors strive to provide compassionate, personalized care and work with each patient to create individualized treatment plans.
