Infectious Disease Physicians

The Division of Infectious Disease at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center provides treatment to those diagnosed with infectious disorders caused by organisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites or fungi.

Our Board Certified infectious disease physicians utilize a state-of-the-art microbiology lab as well as the most advanced tools in medicine to diagnose and treat a broad range of communicable and non-communicable infectious disorders on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Outpatient treatment is adequate for a majority of conditions, though our physicians may recommend inpatient treatment for conditions that are highly contagious or that require an aggressive course of treatment.
