Consultations - Office and Hospital
Our physicians are consultants in Infectious Disease. In the office we work with your Primary Care physician and/or Specialty physician to coordinate your care. Our physicians provide service at all Wichita Hospitals, Hutchinson Regional Medical Center and Newton Medical Center.
Full Laboratory Testing
Our office utilizes Quest Laboratory as its reference laboratory. In addition, we have certified staff to send specimens to the Kansas Department of Health & Environment, CDC and other specialty laboratories as needed. If your insurance does not contract with Quest Laboratory or requires you to have your lab drawn by a contracted laboratory, please advise our staff.
Follow-up Visits
Follow-up visits are scheduled as directed by the Infectious Disease Consultants physician. All our physicians, physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses have set clinic schedules in the office.
Wound Care
IDC physicians have obtained additional training in Hyperbaric Medicine and Problem Wound Management. We work with local Wound Care Centers at Wesley Medical Center, Via Christi Regional Medical Center, Newton Medical Center and Hutchinson Regional Medical Center.
IV Infusion Therapy
Your Infectious Disease Consultants physician will develop a plan of care for you during each office visit. Should that plan include intravenous medications, you will be introduced to the nursing staff in the infusion center located within the our office. Should you qualify for intravenous medication treatments, the professional staff of Antibiotic Infusion Therapy or Antibiotic Infusion Services will inform you of the medication actions and side effects, insertion and care of intravenous catheters, and provide education for self-administering the prescribed medications.
Throughout the treatment period, you will be monitored closely by the clinical staff for therapy success through frequent office visits, assessment of personal response to the treatment, lab results, and additional diagnostic testing.

Our physicians participate in Clinical Research regarding antibiotics, anti-fungals, and medications pertinent to our specialty. All studies are in cooperation with local Institutional Review Boards and are directed by Federal Drug Administration policy.
