Find a ProviderWhat is infusion therapy?
The term "infusion" or “infusion therapy” involves the administration of medications directly into the blood vessel of an individual. This process is additionally referred to as intravenous, or IV, infusion. Infusion, intravenous, or injectable methods of drug administration are commonly utilized if pill/oral medications are insufficient, unavailable, or inappropriate. Many 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 following exposure to the gastrointestinal system. Biologic medications are frequently used to address inflammatory bowel diseases, which include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, in addition to other autoimmune disorders. To learn more about receiving infusion therapy in Connecticut, request a consultation at a Connecticut GI location near you.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Pace. She Has been addressing my issue for over a year. She is thorough, kind, personable and a great listener. She is a special doctor. She really listens to my concerns and takes time to provide very thorough explanations. I can’t recommend her enough.

Dr. WOODS is an excellent, awesome and amazing doctor. You couldn't ask for a better doctor. Dr. WOODS is a very compassionate, always take time out to listen and answer all your questions. I have the highest respect for him will definitely recommend him to everyone. He was my father's doctor for many year's until his passing @93, my dad loved him because he goes above and beyond. Now my entire family has Dr. Woods as our Doctor. And his entire Staff is Excellent. DR. WOODS IS JUST PHENOMENAL.
I am an older patient and have seen many GI doctors throughout the years with moving to new areas. I’ve been through good and not so good experiences. Coming to this practice, I came with many fears and concerns due to past experiences. She calmed my fears and was true to her word moving at a pace that was comfortable for me to manage. She has much knowledge. She is bold enough to let you know what medication changes, tests, and nutrition is important to stay healthy. But in a kind way that makes you leave the office ready to meat the changes given. She has a wonderful office staff. I highly recommend her.
