Facing an infection can be overwhelming and frightening. At West Tennessee Medical Group, our dedicated team of infectious disease specialists is here to provide expert care and personalized treatment, helping you and your loved ones find peace of mind—right in your community.
The human immune system is built to defend against germs and pathogens, but sometimes infectious diseases can challenge even the strongest defenses. These infections may be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, or, in rare cases, prions. They can spread through person-to-person contact, insect bites, or exposure to contaminated food, water, or soil.
While many infections—like the common cold—are mild and treatable at home, others can persist or lead to serious complications. At West Tennessee Medical Group Infectious Disease, our specialists have advanced expertise in diagnosing and managing a wide range of complex infections, including:
We also provide expert care for infections related to orthopedic implants and other implanted medical devices, ensuring comprehensive treatment tailored to your needs.
While anyone can develop an infectious disease, certain individuals face a higher risk of infection and related complications. This includes people with weakened immune systems, young children, pregnant women, older adults, unvaccinated individuals, healthcare workers, and those traveling to high-risk regions.
At West Tennessee Medical Group Infectious Disease, we provide advanced diagnostic and treatment services tailored to the needs of these high-risk patients and others. Our goal is twofold: to eliminate the infection at its source and to prevent complications that may arise.
Our specialists use a range of diagnostic tools to identify the cause of infection, including nasal or throat swabs, skin samples, biopsies, imaging, and analysis of blood, urine, saliva, or stool. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, treatment is personalized based on the type and severity of the infection.
We work closely with your primary care provider and other specialists to ensure a seamless, coordinated approach to your care from diagnosis through recovery.
