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. Bridge is awesome and very helpful! The staff here definitely care about their patients!
Dr Bown and his team are definitely a five star! From the time you into the office to the time you leave, they are very attentive! He was very gentle with the upper and lower G.I. When he dilated my throat, he gave me my voice back, so now I can sing again 👼 Over the last 20 years, Dr Bown and his team are who I have stayed with because he has done a good job and makes me feel safe Thank you, Dr. Bown
Ashlee Walker goes above and beyond her "regular" hours. I took my daughter to the ER and they made sure to tell us to update my daughter's gastroenterologist with the results. I sent Ashlee an email on a Saturday (never expecting a response until Monday) she emailed me that evening and the rest of the weekend to find out how my daughter was feeling. She is amazing and gives 150%. She is a go-getter and does not sit back and wait. She is absolutely fantastic and I am grateful to her.
Receptionist and nurse were both very nice! Dr. Krishnamurthy was incredibly kind and made the appointment very comfortable so I wasn’t anxious. She provided great advice and suggestions for my health! Highly recommend!
I first saw Dr Pedersen in 2023. I was impressed with how he listened to my concerns and addressed every one of them. Prior to that, I’d had a horrible and painful colonoscopy elsewhere with a different doctor and had avoided another for many years and was quite frightened. Dr Pedersen was gentle, thorough, and kind. Now, a year later, I knew I could trust him and again received thorough advice to solve my problem and move forward. I have recommended him to all my family and friends. And to anyone reading this review. Thank you, Dr Pedersen.
