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.

Reviews
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.
