Ridgeview welcomes Roberto Patron, MD, to Infectious Disease practice

Roberto Patron, MD, Infectious Disease, is now seeing patients at Ridgeview Clinics in Chaska and Waconia. Dr. Patron specializes in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases — bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic — as well as investigating uncommon conditions that may or may not be infectious in origin. Some of those conditions include joint infections, skin infections, tickborne infections, HIV and hospital-acquired infections.

Dr. Patron has more than 23 years of experience as an infectious disease provider. His special medical interests include travel medicine, bacterial infections (especially those that are drug-resistant) and zoonotic illnesses (infections acquired from animals and insects).

As a child, Dr. Patron was intrigued by science, but early experiences with his own health care pushed him into medicine. One of the reasons he chose to become an infectious disease provider was his desire to pursue the medical profession with a perspective centered on the person, not the illness. He enjoys getting to know his patients to be able to diagnose and treat diseases, sometimes very rare illnesses.
