Many common infectious diseases can be treated by your child’s pediatrician. But when unique or different symptoms are present, you may need to see a pediatric specialist. Our Pediatric Infectious Disease Program offers outpatient consultation in a child-friendly environment for various conditions, such as recurrent fevers and unusual infections.
When you visit us, your child will meet directly with our board-certified physician trained in pediatric infectious diseases for an in depth consultation to determine the type of infection or immune-related problem that is present. We share diagnostic and possible treatment plans with you in an environment that emphasizes communication between families and care providers.
