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.

Dr Miller was a very smart and caring Dr. I was grateful for the time he took with my husband and I. Happy to recommend him for issues you are going through. Thanks, Lyle and Janet Meadows
Well, besides saving my life along with his staff and nurses, Dr. Maxwell is very concerned with your well being, and takes the time to answer all of your questions and researches ones he’s not positive about on the spot. Very knowledgeable, kind, and never talks down to you. Excellent with older patients. I can’t say enough good about my care there, and for years. Thank you.
This Dr is the best GI Dr I’ve ever seen. Patient, knowledgeable, efficient, extremely considerate of his patients. He helps his patients with no ego involved. I really cannot say enough because he’s good at everything. The worst I can say about Dr Maxwell is that he is so good that he’s very busy. It can be a wait to get in but even then if it’s serious they will make arrangements to take care of you.
I had a great experience! Dr. Bridge listened and communicated with me in a friendly way. I'm so pleased that I have a gastrointestinal doctor now that gave me a treatment plan. I feel reassured that I found a doctor who will be able to help me. Thank you, Dr. Bridge. I want to give a shout-out to the staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful.
I have been to Dr. Bown twice for colonoscopies. He has given excellent care. His staff has been amazing and kind. Because of this, I have recommended him to several family members and friends. Thank you, Dr. Bown and staff.
