Accolades


Three ID Consultants Physicians Earn TOP DOCTORS designation by Charlotte Magazine (July, 2010)


Charlotte Magazine’s 2010 poll of the area’s physicians show that Drs. Lackey, McCurdy, and Tanner were selected as “Top Doctors” in the specialty of Infectious Diseases by their peers.  The magazine released its findings in its July, 2010 edition.  Congratulations to these doctors!


FIVE ID Consultants Physicians Named As TOP DOCTORS By Charlotte Magazine (July, 2009):


Dr. Philip Lackey, Dr. Joseph Lang, Dr. Lewis McCurdy, Dr. David Tanner, and Dr. Thomas Verville received the Top Doctors designation in 2009 by Charlotte Magazine. The survey posed the question to thousands of local physicians about which doctor would they call if a loved one needed medical care. Congratulations to these physicians on receiving this honor!


ID Consultants Physician Dr. David Tanner Named One of BEST DOCTORS in AMERICA, 2009-2010 (September, 2009):


Dr. David Tanner was selected to be included in the Best Doctors in America 2009-2010 database.


The organization Best Doctors believes that doctors themselves have the insight into which of their peers are the “best” doctors in each specialty and therefore, are most qualified to nominate their peers. The organization states that its survey results are reliable and impartial because doctors do not pay to be included in the database, nor do they receive compensation to participate in the survey. Only five (5) percent of the doctors in any country are selected to become “Best Doctors.” Congratulations to Dr. Tanner on this remarkable honor!


ID Consultants Physician Dr. David Tanner Named a BEST DOCTOR in North Carolina (November, 2009):


Dr. David Tanner was included amongst the list of the state’s 2009 “best doctors” in the specialty of Infectious Diseases by the magazine Business NC. The statewide magazine published its list in November, 2009 after gathering information from polling physicians throughout the state.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide the best quality care to all patients utilizing the resources available to us.


Our board-certified Infectious Disease (ID) physicians and Nurse Practitioners are highly competent and demonstrate diligence and ingenuity in their work. Our staff goes the extra mile to enhance the care we provide to our patients.


We are the region’s premier source for infectious disease and infusion therapy services.

Our Medical Practice

Our experienced team of practitioners specialize in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of illnesses and infections caused by bacterial and viral microorganisms. We are proud to offer our patients the convenience of a one-stop center where they can be seen by an ID physician, be administered intravenous medications (if ordered by the physician) at our on-site infusion suite, and patients can have their prescriptions filled by an on-staff registered pharmacist on their way out.  Patients often find that our facility is easily accessible, feel more confident knowing that their infusions are physician-supervised, and enjoy the convenience of not having to switch to a different facility on the weekends simply because we are open seven days a week for their infusions.


Our physicians are affiliated with both Carolinas Healthcare System (Carolinas Medical Center hospitals) and Novant Health (Presbyterian hospitals), and we participate with most major insurance plans.


In everything we do, we place a high value on integrity and dedicating ourselves to doing what’s best for each individual patient.
