MedStar Health: Infusion Center at Tenleytown

Many medications are best delivered intravenously or through the bloodstream by way of a needle or catheter. Also known as infusion therapy, it allows the body to absorb medications more quickly by avoiding the digestive system. At MedStar Health Tenleytown, we offer comprehensive infusion care to treat colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Children and adults now have convenient access to safe and effective gastroenterology (GI)-related remedies right in their neighborhood!

Our experienced team includes a pediatric gastroenterologist, family nurse practitioner, and other healthcare professionals. We work together to provide compassionate and personalized services that address each patient’s unique needs and wellness goals. We even manage the complex insurance preauthorization process.

Our patient-centered infusion program also offers:

• A tranquil healing environment – Our beautifully designed suite features soothing colors, dimmable lights, and natural lighting to help reduce stress and increase relaxation.

• Comfortable bays – Each treatment area has a television as well as an ergonomic recliner that allows for treatments to be received while sitting up or lying down. These bays can even accommodate wheelchairs.

• Cozy amenities – We provide therapeutic pillows and warm blankets to advance overall restfulness.
