Infusion Therapy

Our Practice provides a full on-site infusion suite managed by Dr. Michael Gross and Carissa Solares our LPN, where various Rheumatologic treatments are administered intravenously under close provider supervision in the comfort of our office rather than a hospital setting.  Infusion therapy is primarily used to manage chronic autoimmune and rheumatic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus – when oral medications are not the right fit, not effective enough or no longer working, IV treatments allow for a more direct route of medication delivery to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms like joint pain, swelling and muscle aches.  Dr. Gross specializes in deciding the proper therapy for each individual patient with the goal of providing his patients with better daily functionality, better mobility and improving their quality of life.  In addition, we provide IV Hydration therapy for patients with symptoms of dehydration such as fatigue, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Our staff also helps our patients by investigating the cost/coverage of infusion biologics and which payment assistance programs are available based on each individual’s insurance plan before treatments are started.  We administer many IV Biologics such as:

  • Actemra
  • Benlysta
  • Cosentyx
  • Entyvio
  • Inflectra
  • Krystexxa
  • Orencia
  • Remicade
  • Renflexis
  • Rituxan
