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.

I have been a patient with Dr. Vinson for 10 years. He is the best doctor I have ever had. He listens, doesn't judge, and has my best interest at heart. His nurse, Haleigh, is an absolute delight and works extremely hard to get anything that is needed done. She always answers my questions and is happy to assist in anyway I need her. I actually look forward to seeing them and feel extremely lucky to have 2 such amazing people in charge of my care!!
Kevin O'Keefe is absolutely amazing! He saved my life, I was in such poor shape with my Ulcerative Colitis. I was referred to him from my primary care (I was in really bad shape after over a year with a gastroenterologist that didn't really hear/listen to me). He was fast to get me on meds and if that didn't work we quickly moved on to the next! He is kind, compassionate, and he really listens. I highly recommend!
Shelley Cochran had been a superior caregiver to me for new throat issues. Working with terrific Dr Pascall creates perfect care team for me!
