Infectious Disease Specialist | Infectious Disease
3801 Miranda Ave 154t Palo Alto CA, 94304About
Dr. David Relman is an infectious disease specialist practicing in Palo Alto, CA. Dr. Relman specializes in infections that are difficult to diagnose or unresponsive to treatments, such as HIV or airborne infections from a foreign country. Infectious disease specialists usually work with conditions that are not treatable by a primary physician but it is important to keep contact with the primary physician in order to receive information about the patients history and for deciding which diagnostic tests are appropriate.
