The clinical team

Who provides the care, and the oversight structure.

Parasitology is a defined branch of infectious disease medicine. The team and the published guidance behind every consultation are listed here.

01

Supervising physician

Dr. Waltzman, MD

Board-certified physician, California licensed

Dr. Waltzman supervises clinicians on this service under California regulation. The supervising physician sets clinical protocols, signs the standardized procedures and delegation of services agreements that govern nurse practitioner and physician assistant practice on this platform, reviews cases as required, and is the ultimate clinical authority. A full curriculum vitae is available on request.

02

Nurse practitioners and physician assistants

Nurse practitioners and physician assistants deliver care on this platform under standardized procedures and a delegation of services agreement with the supervising physician. Each clinician is licensed in California and has prescriptive authority for the medications relevant to this practice.

As individual clinicians come on, their names, credentials, and clinical focus appear in this section. The roster is small by design. The expectation is that any clinician listed here has been selected for direct experience with parasitology workups.

The clinician roster will be published as the team is finalized. The absence of a roster today is a deliberate choice over publishing names before the relationships are in place.
