Why I’m an infectious disease provider

“The ‘puzzle’ aspect of identifying a mysterious pathogen, tracing its source, and determining the most effective treatment plan engages my problem-solving skills unlike any other specialty in medicine. Achieving these goals requires significant time interacting with patients at the bedside, which is my passion.”

Approach to infectious disease care

Marc Pickard, MD, believes that working together with patients, putting their needs first and building a trusting relationship are prerequisites for quality care, which he brings to each and every patient encounter.
