Find a ProviderWhat is infusion therapy?
The term "infusion", or “infusion therapy”, references the administration of medications directly into the bloodstream of a person. It is additionally known as intravenous or IV infusion therapy. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable methods of drug administration are usually used when oral/pill medications are inappropriate, unavailable, or insufficient for addressing the need at hand. Several 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 once exposed to the gastrointestinal system. Biologic medications are commonly utilized to treat inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, in addition to other autoimmune disorders. To learn more about receiving IV therapy in Dallas, TX, request an appointment with one of our skilled providers at a Digestive Health Associates of Texas location in your area.

Linda Weber is very caring in this office; she is Practice manger for Dr. David Magee. I am doing my Colonoscopy next week with Dr. Magee.
Dr. Michael Russo is very well mannered and caring dr. Who take as much interest in your child health as a parent you would do. We came to him from another GI dr for my son and he talked about the medicine and overall picture of his health. His office staff and assistant is awesome too. Always good in responding to my concern and questions. Dr. Russo is so easy to reach out to and he personally respond to your question and concern. I am so grateful that we found him for our son. God bless him for all he does for his patients. I must recommend him 👍
Dr. Abraham is a kind & understanding doctor, always willing to listen, then make a recommendation, he has been my doctor for many years & I look forward to continuing my visits in the future.
My televisit with Megan Canady went very smoothly. She was thorough, decisive and friendly.
He was great, I felt very comfortable and very confident. Would recommend him to all my friends and family.
