Ambulatory Infusion Therapy:

We specialize in the delivery of outpatient infusion therapy including office-based home infusion. Our 500 sq foot infusion center has 3 medical recliners, a power procedure table, natural light from large windows in a relaxing serene environment.

Amenities include light snacks and beverages, optional cable television, internet radio, and a selection of DVD and on-demand movies. Our on-site pharmacy mixing area includes a large drug inventory and  a USP 797 compliant sterile compounding.

For simple once or twice daily home infusion we dispense the I-flow disposable elastomeric pumps. For more complicated multiple daily dosing we dispense small light-weight ambulatory infusion pumps (Curlin CMS-4000).

Many patients prefer to come daily to the infusion center for their treatments for closer supervision by the medical team, or in cases where home infusion services are not covered.

We are open 7 days a week to accommodate our patients requiring supervised office infusion (Medicare without a secondary insurance).
