At Infectious Diseases Associates of North Central Florida we are committed to improve the overall health of our community with the aim of providing comprehensive state of the art treatment for infectious diseases. Established in 2009. Today we operate to improve the health of our community by promoting excellence in patient care, education, research, public health, infection control and patient awareness on the threat of emerging infections.
Our team of specialists diagnose and treat these conditions in order to prevent the spread of them throughout the community. While our services are provided on an inpatient and outpatient basis through Physician Consultation, every patient is carefully evaluated by a Board certified provider and given the time and opportunity to discuss their concerns. We serve as a leader in epidemiology and Infection Control and Prevention in the community, due to our prudent processes and exceptional patient care.

During this short initial screening appointment, the counselor will gather additional information from you, get a clearer picture of your needs, and begin to plan with you the most appropriate course of action.

Upon meeting Dr. Ivan, I immediately knew that he had my health interest as one of his top priorities. He studied my medical records, formulated a detailed treatment plan, discussed it thoroughly with me, and wasted no time in putting it into action. His well-trained, friendly staff go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable. Everyone is required to wear masks, and the treatment area is laid out in conformance to CDC guidelines; all of which made me feel safe during this Covid-19 outbreak.
All staff are helpful and friendly. Dr. Ivan listens and is attentive to details on my case (which has been unusual). He is very knowledgeable of treatment options and outcomes. All infusion nurses are helpful and caring. Star has been amazing and has made treatment as enjoyable as possible.
