Riverside Infectious Disease Specialists provides services focused on the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. In addition to providing consult services for inpatient hospital care, we also treat outpatients when an infection is difficult to diagnose, patients are not responding to standard treatments for an infection, patients managing chronic infections such as HIV/AIDS as well as otherwise healthy individuals planning to travel to locations where infection risk is high.

Providing expertise within the hospitals and across our communities
Riverside’s infectious disease specialists also care for patients who have been admitted to the hospital through consults with other specialists. They play an important role in managing patients with infections, drug-resistant bacteria and other challenging conditions.

Their expertise is a critical component to Riverside’s ability to care for a new virus, such as a new variant of COVID-19 or monkeypox.
