Remicade® (Infliximab) is the latest medication to help treat Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Administered as an IV infusion, it has proven very effective at directly suppressing inflammation in the gut. Remicade acts by blocking a protein in your body that leads to inflammatory bowel disease and the painful symptoms experienced with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Results are apparent in as little as six treatment sessions a year after three starter doses. Treatment is administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over a two-hour period overseen by a healthcare provider. Patients may occasionally need additional medication before starting Remicade to prevent or reduce potential side effects of administration. If you have inflammatory bowel disease in Phoenix, AZ, then this treatment option could be beneficial to you. Contact Arizona Digestive Health to learn more from our providers.

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.
