Ready to Consult a GI Physician?
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. Chris Maxwell and his team have always taken SUCH good care of me!!! I just had my second colonoscopy as a 26 year old so I was understandably slightly nervous but the team did such a lovely job of putting me right at ease. Dr. Maxwell interacts in the way I would hope every doctor did!!! He listens so sincerely, takes such good notes to refresh himself about you before your appointment, doesn’t ever feel rushed, looks at you and the situation holistically, and is kind and sincere. I’ve been abundantly grateful to have Dr. Maxwell on my health team!!!
I am very pleased with the service from Dr Trowbridge.
Dr. Boschert as usual, did a great job. I am sorry he is retiring. I will continue to use the practice.
An excellent experience for my initial visit. Staff was very efficient and friendly, my new provider introduced herself, asked how she could help me and then actively listened for about 10 minutes. Her insights and suggestions were appreciated and very helpful, and at the end of the visit, she asked if there was anything else she could do to help me. Those are qualities of an excellent practitioner, and in my experience are very rare these days. Highly recommend!
Dr. Harmston in my opinion is an excellent physician, he listens to your concerns and has the answers.
