Infectious Disease 

NorthBay Healthcare’s infectious disease expert, Gregory Warner, D.O., has been in high demand since the outbreak of COVID-19 in February 2020, and has spoken to service clubs, business organizations and other community groups, sharing his vast knowledge of infectious disease control. He oversees a team of Infection Prevention specialists who work in NorthBay Healthcare’s two hospitals to prevent transmission of COVID-19, as well as other viruses, including all current strains of influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. He also focuses on non-healing wounds, skin tissue and bone infections.

Anticoagulation services

A drive-through clinic for patients with special needs is available on Tuesdays at the hospital receiving dock entrance on the east side of the hospital. Participants in the clinic meet at least once every four weeks with a specially trained clinical pharmacist who evaluates the medication dosage and appropriately adjusts the level if necessary. Dosage adjustments are made right away, minimizing the possibility of complications and side effects. Admission requires a physician referral, so ask your provider.

A sleep specialist helps patients suffering from sleep apnea or conditions such as insomnia, sleepwalking and restless leg syndrome. NorthBay pulmonologists provide patient care and pulmonary function testing in both Fairfield and Vacaville locations.

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) is an advanced form of hands-on care that focuses on treating the whole person, rather than the symptoms, with a goal of helping the body to heal itself. Osteopathic physicians have received specialized training in nerves, muscles, and bones to diagnose, treat and prevent illness and injury through this form of care. OMM can benefit issues including asthma, pneumonia, carpal tunnel syndrome, menstrual pain, migraines and headaches, sinus disorders, myofascial imbalance, neck and shoulder pain, foot pain and knee pain.

Rehabilitation Services

General Surgery

NorthBay’s general surgeons offer procedures such as hernia repairs, gallbladder removal, colon cancer surgery, and hemorrhoid removal. Surgical procedures occur at NorthBay Medical Center, NorthBay VacaValley Hospital and the Ambulatory Surgery Center at NorthBay VacaValley Hospital.

Trauma and Emergency Services

No one plans for disaster to happen, but it’s good to know a full team of emergency medicine experts are available 24/7/365 at both NorthBay Medical Center in Fairfield and NorthBay VacaValley Hospital in Vacaville.

NorthBay Medical Center was verified as a Level II trauma center in 2014, 2017 and again in 2021, by the American College Board of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. NorthBay Medical Center’s verification as an accredited Chest Pain Center, Certified Stroke Center and Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP) may also help explain why so many seriously ill or injured patients are transported to NorthBay facilities. NorthBay VacaValley Hospital is also a Certified Stroke Center and EDAP. Both facilities have helipads to receive and transport critically ill and injured patients.

Urology

No one likes to talk about problems with their urologic system, but there is no reason to suffer in silence, say NorthBay Healthcare urologists Herkanwal Khaira, M.D. and Benjamin Dudley, M.D.

NorthBay Healthcare schedules regular office hours and some procedures in Vacaville, Fairfield and Napa, as well as some procedures and surgeries at NorthBay Medical Center in Fairfield. Dr. Khaira is not only medical director for Urology, but also for the NorthBay Robotic Program, and performs some surgeries using the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System.
