Find a ProviderWhat is Infusion Therapy?
The term "infusion" or “infusion therapy” is a service involving the administration of medications and/or fluids directly into the vein of a patient. This service is also known as intravenous or IV infusion. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable methods of medication administration are typically utilized if oral/pill medications are insufficient, unavailable, or inappropriate. Several of the latest medications are derived or made from living cells (biologic) and cannot be consumed via the mouth, like a pill, because they will not remain effective following exposure to the digestive tract. Biologic medications are often utilized to address inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, among other autoimmune disorders. If you are in need of IV therapy in Arizona, request a consultation at an Arizona Digestive Health location in your area.

My visit with Dr Walker and his staff was a good experience. I was seen quickly and everyone was very helpful, answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable about my coming procedure.
This was the first time with Dr. Michael Mills MD. I was impressed, to say the least. He gave me information on my situation that other doctors had never mentioned. So I left the office feeling hope. Thank you, Michael Mills and his staff.
Dr. Panossian is very caring and compassionate. He spends time to explain things.
Dr Mokashi is the very best in this practise! He is compassionate, listens intently, answers all questions, always positive, very highly educated!
Dr. Umar knows his stuff. I had diverticulitis, went through a complete dose of Augmentin that didn’t throw it, my primary care doctor prescribed me the same thing all over again for a second go around. dr. Umar prescribe me top-of-the-line antibiotics (the big guns, Levoquin & Metronidazole) which worked after the Augmentin wouldn’t. I was able to get rid of it, and felt better after three orfour days. He spent the time listening to my concerns, which I told him I didn’t think being on the same antibiotic that didn’t work the first go around, why would I wanna be on it a second go around. He agreed, and it did the job. I trust him.
