Find a ProviderWhat is infusion therapy?
“Infusion” or “infusion therapy” is a service involving the administration of medications and/or fluids directly into the blood vessel of a patient. It is also referred to as intravenous or IV infusion. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable approaches to drug delivery are commonly used when oral/pill medications are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate. A number of the newest medications are biologic (made or derived from living cells) and cannot be taken via the mouth, like a pill, because they are no longer effective after exposure to the gastrointestinal tract. Biologic medications are frequently used to address inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis among other autoimmune disorders. For more information on receiving IV therapy in Indianapolis, IN, request a consultation at an Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology location in your area.

Dr. Crane asked so many questions and gave me sound advice regarding things that may be making my condition worse. He was kind, thorough and when I left his office I felt confident and positive that he was determined to help me feel better.
Had an esophagus dilation scheduled at the Endoscopy Center at St Francis hospital having had many of these over the years for difficult swallowing I was familiar with the process . The nurses get right to it preparing you for the procedure appropriate questions are asked for your safety . Anesthesiologist will advise you of the sedation medication used and reassures you that it is safe and Dr Crane will do the same.also Dr Drake depending upon who does the procedure. At this hospital I have always had the safest procedures . Much gratitude for all at the Endoscopy Center at St Francis Hospital.
