OLEAN — Olean General Hospital and Bradford Regional Medical Center announce the recent appointment of an infectious disease specialist, Dr. Avrille George.
George will perform consults on cases dealing with pneumonia, lyme disease, diabetic foot infection, and cellulitis as well as other infectious diseases.
“I want to make infectious disease specialty services available to facilities in rural areas and those that lack the expertise,” George said. “With the increasing friendliness of telemedicine, we are able to marry convenience and expertise for the patient’s needs with a virtual appointment.”
It has been a few years since OGH has had an infectious disease specialist but, this service has never been offered at BRMC. George’s services are a completely new service line that has never available to the Bradford and surrounding communities.
“We’re excited to continue to expand our breadth of services to the region,” said Dr. Jill Owens, president of OGH and BRMC. “Dr. George’s area of expertise along with her experience will be a valuable resource for our communities. UAHS is pleased to have her onboard.”
George completed her bachelor’s degree in chemistry at City University of New York and her medical degree at Ross University School of Medicine. She completed her residency and fellowship in internal medicine and infectious disease at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn. George is currently serving multiple hospitals and nursing homes throughout New York state via telemedicine.
She is accepting new patients through referrals and will be performing telemedicine consultations. Appointments can be made through a physician referral. Requests with relevant medical information should be faxed to (585) 625-3855. Virtual appointments will be scheduled at OGH and coming soon to BRMC.
