Our Clinic - Infectious disease care in the community

The Gilman Clinic provides preventive care and treatment for patients with infectious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Our team includes infectious disease and liver specialists, advanced care specialty nurses, social workers, behavioral health professionals, pharmacists and nutritionists. Together, we provide advanced infectious disease care, individualized treatment plans and personal attention to the complex needs of our patients.

We work closely with primary care providers and community service organizations across the region to coordinate patient support beyond infectious disease care. We assess each patient's complete medical situation and recommend preventive care, such as immunizations. We also provide access to clinical trials of new treatments options. Services include:

Our Practice - Infectious disease care and travel medicine

Our Adult Infectious Diseases practice specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of communicable diseases for adults. Our team includes specialty-trained and board-certified physicians. A primary care physician referral is required to schedule an appointment.

Travel medicine consultations are available for anyone planning, or returning from, travel in another country. Our board-certified tropical and infectious disease physicians are state-certified providers for yellow fever vaccine. They will review your itinerary and recommend appropriate vaccinations, malaria prophylaxis, food and water precautions, and educational material.

An important part of preparing for travel is immunizations. Immunization decisions are based on individualized considerations, such as your general state of health, travel destination, planned activities, and length of stay. Some vaccinations require several doses, spaced weeks apart, to provide maximum protection. We recommend an appointment at least 6-8 weeks before your departure date. Some illnesses can emerge weeks after returning home. Please contact us if you experience symptoms after travel such as intestinal illness, fever or rash.

Your privacy is one of our highest priorities. Your care will remain completely confidential and is subject to state and federal confidentiality laws.

We accept most major insurances, Mainecare and Medicare. Patients may be eligible for our Free Care Program based on family size and gross annual income. Inability to pay for care will never prevent you from receiving medically-necessary services. MaineHealth offers financial counseling and programs that can assist you with your health care bill.
