When it comes to treating poisonings, overdoses, and toxic exposures, fast, expert care can be lifesaving. Eisenhower Health is proud to expand its toxicology services with the addition of a third Board Certified medical toxicologist––making it the only hospital in the Coachella Valley with this specialized expertise on staff.
Our toxicology team provides immediate, specialized care for emergencies like drug overdoses, medication reactions, environmental toxin exposures, and snakebites. As the Coachella Valley’s population grows and risks increase, having access to expert toxicology care locally is more critical than ever.
What is a Medical Toxicologist?
Medical toxicologists are specially trained physicians who diagnose, manage, and treat patients exposed to toxic substances. At Eisenhower Health, our toxicologists work closely with emergency department teams, ICU staff, and local first responders to deliver lifesaving care when every second counts.

“Our community is growing, and so are the risks associated with toxic exposures,” says Nate Friedman, MD, Director of Medical Toxicology. “Expanding our toxicology services ensures patients get the expert care they need, close to home.”
Comprehensive Care for Poisoning and Overdose
Eisenhower Health’s toxicology services include rapid bedside consultations for emergencies and outpatient care through the Toxicology Clinic for ongoing management of exposures. Whether facing an immediate crisis or recovering from a toxic incident, patients benefit from expert, compassionate care without leaving the region.
