Find a ProviderWhat is infusion therapy?
Infusion therapy (or IV infusion) is a treatment method that injects medication directly into a patient's veins. It is also referred to as intravenous or IV administration. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable treatments are typically used if pill/oral medications are insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. Many of the latest medications are biologic (made or derived from living cells) and cannot be taken orally, like a pill, as they will not remain effective following exposure to the gastrointestinal tract. Biologic medications are frequently used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as other autoimmune disorders. The physicians at GI Alliance of Arkansas are specially trained to treat digestive health problems using IV infusion and other methods. If you are in need of IV therapy in Arkansas, request a consultation with one of our local providers.

All my contacts with Dr. Wardlaw and others at GastroAR have been top notch. Everyone was welcoming and professional. I am very satisfied with all they did for me. Thank you!
Scott worked me into his very busy schedule right away and diagnosed me on the spot. He took the time to discuss all symptoms and followed up after I returned home. Highly and unequivocally recommend him!
Just another personalized, humane and knowledge-backed encounter with Dr. Vincent. I have great confidence in his handling of my medical problems.
Everyone I have dealt with at GI Alliance is so nice and helpful… they don’t talk down to you and answer all questions…would highly recommend anyone to come here…
Absolutely blown away by the service I received. Although it took weeks to receive a call, the staff was amazing. I requested to be put on the cancellation list and I was quickly moved up from a November appointment to the next day appointment. The front desk was AMAZING!! One lady in particular was so warm and welcoming the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out. She offered me many options. Her smile was the first impression and it set the tone for the whole appointment. Dr. Hansens nurse has gone above and beyond for me and listened to everything I had to say prior to the Dr. coming in. And Dr. Hansen came in ready to hear my concerns, provide me with solutions and get me on the right track. I would recommend this team over and over again!! Although my journey just started with Dr. Hansen I have gotten a little more peace of mind from one appointment.
