Get to know Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Mark J. Hupert, who serves patients in Texas.

Dr. Hupert, a fellowship-trained infectious disease specialist, practices at the Texas Centers for Infectious Disease Associates (TCIDA). He has a wide array of interests but in particular finds satisfaction in helping persons with HIV, chronic hepatitis C, and chronic wounds. 

TCIDA is now the only private practice infectious disease group to serve the entire DFW Metroplex – both Dallas and Fort Worth – with brand new, state-of-the-art facilities in both cities, infusion centers in both cities, and its own pharmacy.

Participating in a wound care and hyperbaric clinic at Kindred Hospital, Dr. Hupert tackles long standing, non-healing wounds including diabetic foot ulcers. He is also an active member of the staff at Methodist Hospital Dallas (MHD), and is available for inpatient consultation on a range of diagnoses including sepsis, diabetic foot wounds, HIV, and joint infections.

Enthusiastic, Dr. Hupert looks forward to the growth of his practice in the area and developing a close relationship with the patients and staff of MHD. His role also includes the education and supervision of residents in training who are the future doctors of the community.

The doctor’s acclaimed career in medicine began after he earned his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 1993. During his residency at Case Western Reserve University / Hospitals of Cleveland on chilly Lake Erie, he took an interest in infectious diseases and HIV. At that time, HIV was epidemic and many young people were dying of a misunderstood disease. 

Thereafter, Dr. Hupert moved to Philadelphia where he trained at the Hospitals of the University of Pennsylvania. He received training under Dr. Neil Fishman in antimicrobial stewardship at a time when this field was in its infancy. He completed a year of research in infection control and assisted in a publication in coordination with Dr. P. J. Brennan and the CDC. He then moved to private practice, first in New Orleans, but then finding his way to Fort Worth.

Dedicated to his speciality, Dr. Hupert is board-certified in both internal medicine and infectious disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Continuously advancing his efforts, he is an active member of the Infectious Disease Society of America and the Tarrant County Medical Society.

Infectious disease is a medical specialty dealing with the prevention, the diagnosis, and the treatment of all infections. An infectious disease specialist’s practice also consists of managing nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections.

Proud to call Dallas his home, Dr. Hupert lives there with his husband, Mark Lombard. He is an avid supporter of For Love & Art, an organization devoted to bringing the art world to those in hospice care. He also vibrantly supports the arts community and is proud to claim a world championship in competitive bridge.
