The term "infusion" or “infusion therapy” includes the administration of medications directly into the blood vessel of an individual. This process is additionally referred to as intravenous or IV therapy. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable medication delivery methods are generally used if pill/oral medications are unavailable, inappropriate, or insufficient. Many of the newest medications are biologic (made or derived from living cells), which cannot be ingested orally, like a pill, as they will not remain effective after exposure to the gastrointestinal system. Biologic medications are commonly prescribed to address IBD (inflammatory bowel diseases), including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other autoimmune disorders. For more information on receiving infusion therapy in Washington, request a consultation at a Washington Gastroenterology location near you.

They were an hour late in getting me in for appointment. And I could feel pain in colon for two or three minutes before I passed out but to be fair, i said let's just get it done. Doctor and nurses were great however.

Dr Leung has been my Dr for many years. Always professional, respectful, confident and positive. My screenings have been thorough and come back clear. All of the staff put you at ease. The prep for colonoscopy is well prepared. VIDEO'S and reminders by text are very helpful.
