An argon laser is a device that uses argon gas to produce a stream of light characterized by a wavelength absorbed specifically by pigments like melanin and hemoglobin, and passes without harm through many other substances such as fluids. Argon laser therapy utilizes this therapy to treat a number of GI conditions including dysphagia, mucosal lesions, hemorrhages, and strictures.

What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, typically, are more precise relative to other methods, which means the treatment better targets the damaged or problematic tissue. Surgical cuts can be made shorter and shallower and result in less overall tissue trauma. People typically tend to experience a faster recovery following laser surgeries than from traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As in any operation, there are risks. However, because of the focused nature of laser therapy, it is often considered less risky relative to other surgical procedures. A partial list of the possible risks include reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection and pain. Your safety is of the utmost importance to the GI doctors at Arizona Digestive Health.

As being a farely new AZ resident, I " thoroughly " enjoyed my experience as a new patient with Dr. Tharalson. He was compassionate, knowledgeable & had a great sense of humor. I look forward to remaining a happy patient, as I know he & his team will take good care of me.
Getting regular checkups is so important and thanks to Dr Mokhashi, I underwent surgery to remove a portion of my colon that undiagnosed would have definitely turned into high risk cancer. The staff is wonderful and I cannot thank them enough for my clean bill of health.
Prompt. Great attitude!
I was in the Phoenix office, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though I was the last appointment of the day. Dr Tharalson was very attentive to my problems, he listened and offered solutions. I have seen him in the past, and I am very happy that I can see him now. 11/14/2024: Saw Dr Tharalson yesterday with a telehealth vissit. Once again, he listens to my concerns, discusses recent events in my health care trials, and offers solutions and suggestions. Even more important, he keeps my primary care and specialists informed re our visit. I saw my primary care doc today, and we discussed my visit with Dr. Tharalson. I was stunned he already had the information. I love my gastroenterologist!!!!!!
Always extremely happy with Dr. Tharalson and his staff. They go above and beyond to ensure the highest level of care and patient experience. Both the practice and Endoscopy center are well run and it’s apparent that patients and their needs are their priority. They offer highly skilled, compassionate care.
