IV Infusions

IV infusion therapy is a method of administering medication through an intravenous line. Pinnacle GI Partner Infusion Centers administer all biologic drugs such as Infliximab (Remicade, Renflexis, Inflectra) Entyvio, and Stelera. We also provide iron infusions and hydration therapy for our patients.

What to Expect

When the doctor prescribes IV therapy, you’ll go to the office or clinic for it to be administered. One or more of the medical staff will check you in and take your vitals. They will check your weight and take your temperature and blood pressure. The nurse will start the IV and prepare the medicine prescribed by the doctor. They may continue to monitor your blood pressure during the procedure. After the infusion has finished, the nurse will remove the IV and put a dressing over the site. You will be free to go home.

Depending on the exact medication being administered through the IV, it can be a lengthy process. It can take three or four hours. Be prepared with something to do. You may want to bring a book or magazine to read, puzzle books, catch up on paperwork, or bring a tablet to use while you are getting the IV infusion.

Televisit was right on time. Dr gave us his full attention. The Dr was fully aware of my wife's issues, which meant that we could focus on what we needed to. Within two days we were notified as to the date of the procedure that the Dr recommended.

From the time I entered the offices of Digestive Health I entered into the most pleasant experience. Dr Nandi and his staff were so nice and organized. I felt so comfortable in trusting Dr Nandi and his staff with my procedure. I’m very fortunate in establishing a patient doctor relationship with Dr Nandi.

From initial contact through post procedure care, Dr. Willie and his team are exceptional at patient care and education of the procedure being conducted, the pre-procedure prep, and results. This my second 10-year screening procedure with Dr. Willie and hope that he is still in practice 10 years from now for my next procedure. Well done and thank you!
Michelle C.
I highly recommend Dr. Bakken! I was super nervous at first since my first colonoscopy with Dr. Quallich went horrible. He put me in pain for a month and I couldn’t lift anything or workout. Dr. Bakken did an excellent job. I ran a 5k a week after my colonoscopy and continue to be pain free. She’s the best!
Timothy M.

Dr Wille and his entire staff are amazing! No one likes to talk about the test I had done…let alone go thru it. But they made everything so convenient and so easy!! I would absolutely recommend them.

FAQs

What happens during my first visit?
If you are a new patient, you can expect to have a complete physical exam. You will also be asked detailed questions about your current problems and your past medical history, your current medications, allergies, your family history and other pertinent medical information. If you are taking medications, please bring a completed medical history form with you to your appointment. Once the physician has reviewed your medical information and completed the physical examination, a plan of care will be developed. You may need to be seen again in the office, be referred back to your family physician for follow-up care, or require additional testing. If additional tests are needed, we will assist you in scheduling these tests.
What if I need to schedule an endoscopic procedure?

An endoscopic procedure allows the physician to visualize a part of your gastrointestinal tract with a special instrument called an endoscope. If your family physician has ordered testing, you will be contacted by telephone by one of our staff members. If a physician orders testing and you are in the office, the procedure can generally be scheduled during the course of your visit. You will be given a date, time, and location for the test, as well as written instructions telling you how to prepare for the test. If you have any questions about the procedure, please feel free to ask one of our staff members or the physician.

How do I get test results?

We ask that you wait 10 to 14 days before contacting us for results. Often results come from several different sources. This information needs to be compiled and reviewed by your physician before you can be appropriately advised. 

What insurances do you accept?

We accept payment from most insurance companies including Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Physicians Health Plan, Cofinity, Sparrow Professional Health Network, Medicaid, McLaren, Health Plus, and several others. Accepted insurances are subject to change at any time without notice.

If your insurance requires an authorization from your primary care physician, you may be asked to assist us in obtaining this authorization.

All patients are responsible for all copays and deductibles at the time of service.

If you have any questions regarding your benefits or insurance coverage, please contact our Billing Department at 248-844-9710.

What if I need to contact the doctor?

To contact your doctor during business hours please call our main number 248-844-9710. If you have an urgent need to speak with the doctor after hours, you will be rerouted to our after hours answering service, and your doctor will be paged. In the case of a medical emergency please proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.
