“Infusion” or “infusion therapy” refers to the delivery of medications directly into the veins of a patient, also known as intravenous or IV administration. Intravenous/Infusion or injectable methods of drug delivery are typically used when oral/pill medications are insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. Many of the newest medications are biologic (made or derived from living cells) and cannot be taken orally like a pill because they will not remain effective after exposure to the digestive system. Biologic medications are often used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases which include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis along with other autoimmune disorders.

i had a consultation today with Dr. Nayan Patel, D.O. The office staff is very friendly and efficient. Dr. Patel was extremely nice and explained the diagnostic procedure and answered all my questions patiently. The office has close parking to the entrance. It was a very enjoyable experience, I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his office staff.
