They must also be highly knowledgeable about the most current antibiotics and medication use.
Some interesting facts that you should know about infectious diseases:
- Germs are tiny living things found everywhere; in the air, soil, water, plants, food and just about every other surface including your body.
- Infection can come by touching, eating, or breathing something containing a germ. Germs are also spread through animal bites, kissing and sexual contact.
- Your immune system works very hard to protect the body against a multitude of infectious agents. However, germs are constantly changing and mutating. These mutated germs then try to breach your immune systems.
Infusion Center
The Infectious Diseases office also has an on-site Infusion Center. The Infusion Center can infuse/inject many medications including antibiotic and biological medications. Some of the infusions can be as short as a few minutes to a few hours. There is always one or more Infectious Diseases doctor on-site and always several specially trained Infusion RN’s to watch over the patients.

Our physicians and clinical staff are trained to care for many types of wounds.
Doctors Sergey Akimov, Gary Bergen, Vakhtang (Vato) Bochorishvili, Mark Brown, and Miguel Madariaga lead our integral multifaceted Infectious Disease Department including Wound Care.
The doctors will evaluate and manage your wound care, working closely with your Surgeon or Podiatrist in determining the best care and treatments for wound cause and locations.
