A child may need a specialist if a general pediatric provider cannot address a relatively detailed concern. In many cases, the general provider will make this determination and refer your child to an infectious diseases specialist. When necessary, we are available to provide this specialty consultation. Please complete the online Patient Registration Form only (not the Medical History Form or Consent Forms).
