Find a ProviderWhat is infusion therapy?
Infusion therapy describes the process of administering medications directly into a patient's blood vessels. It is additionally known as intravenous or IV infusion. Intravenous, infusion, or injectable approaches to medication delivery are typically utilized when pill/oral medications are insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. Several of the latest medications are derived or made from living cells (biologic) and cannot be ingested orally, like a pill, as they are no longer effective after exposure to the gastrointestinal tract. Biologic medications are frequently prescribed to address inflammatory bowel diseases, which include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis along with other autoimmune disorders. If you are in need of IV therapy in Utah, request a consultation at a Utah Gastroenterology location in your community.

Everyone was SUPER nice at this office. Highly recommend Dr Bown and his staff to anyone needing a colonoscopy.
Dr Doxey is fantastic!! The procedure was simple and comfortable.
Excellent service and caring providers.
Heather Swann was fantastic. She spent the time to fully understand my problems. She then recommended a solution. Two days after starting her recommendations my problems are much better.
Thank you for a very smooth and painless visit!
