I cannot fully express the gratitude I have for Dr. Smith. I came to him when I was terrified and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I had been to the ER, a primary care, a neurologist and a nurse practitioner and they all looked at me and said, “its probably just a virus. You just have to let it run its course.” But weeks went by and I knew in my heart that something was off. I walked into the office completely emotionally and physically drained. I was greeted by Gina. She is an absolute sweetheart and made me feel welcome. Craig, the office manager is one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever met. Every time I came to the office he made me feel taken care of and safe. A few times I came to my appointment early just to see Gina and Craig. As for Dr. Smith, you couldn’t ask for a more invested doctor. I think other doctors are even surprised at his attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile for his patients even if its inconvenient for him. He listened to me but not only that he really heard me. He made sure I understood his thought process and why he was running certain tests. He took me seriously when so many others didn't. It turned out that it wasn’t a virus that was going to run its course. He ended up admitting me to the hospital and I was there for 5 days. Dr. Smith came to see me every single day and brought in specialists to deal with my complex case. He always filled in the blanks for me and answered my questions. Honestly, he made me believe in doctors again. Even though what was happening to me was scary he made me feel like it was going to be okay and it was. I feel lucky to know him and to be his patient.

Amazing!! what a lovely, intelligent human. He is intelligent, calm and addressed all my concerns, and made me feel comfortable and cared for. He followed up on all of my lab results, and he jumped through hoops to get me a prescription that was out of stock at many pharmacies. I highly recommend him.

The wait isn’t the best but I scheduled during a busy hr (7pm on a weekday). Honestly, Dr. Preis was worth the wait. I adore her honesty, knowledge, thoroughness and demeanor. She’s a great dr who I had to see after her great work with my fiancé! Neither of us ever like doctors but we’d both HIGHLY recommend her

Infectious disease medicine is a branch of internal medicine. Infectious disease doctors specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases caused by microorganisms. These microscopic organisms enter the body and infect it, causing symptoms that can range from mild to fatal. Infectious disease specialists usually work with other medical specialists to diagnose and treat the affected organ systems, such as the central nervous system or cardiovascular system.
The American Medical Association states that infectious diseases are the second largest cause of death around the globe. The four main kinds of germs that lead to diseases are:
- Viruses - Viruses can affect, damage or kill cells and induce sickness. The common cold, hepatitis and HIV are three examples of viruses.
- Bacteria - Bacteria are single-celled organisms that cause illnesses such as tuberculosis or urinary tract infections.
- Parasites - Illnesses such as malaria are caused by a parasite that is transmitted through a mosquito bite. In this case, the mosquito carries a parasite.
- Fungi - Fungi causes infections like ringworm.
