Brooklyn Health Care Office Specializes in Infectious Diseases

Doctors at Brooklyn Pediatrics Infectious Disease Associates, a health care office that recently opened in Bay Ridge, specialize in treating various viruses and infectious diseases, including Lyme disease, the flu, and Staph infections. The office also provides vaccinations necessary for travel outside the U.S.

When a child is stricken with a fever, virus, or infection, it is sometimes difficult for his or her regular pediatrician to determine the cause or the right treatment. Instead of being treated at a hospital, parents now have the option of getting a referral from their child’s doctor to visit Brooklyn Pediatrics Infectious Disease Associates, a private outpatient pediatric infectious diseases practice in Bay Ridge that opened in July.
