We offer IV iron treatment that is great for those who can’t tolerate taking iron orally due to stomach upset, gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease, Celiac Disease, or kidney dialysis. It is indicated in patients with severe iron deficiency since it is better absorbed than oral iron. Laboratory testing documenting a low iron level is required prior to receiving this treatment.

What to Expect:
Our doctors will administer your iron sucrose infusion (Venofer). Relax, watch television or a movie or listen to music in one our reclining chairs while receiving your iron treatment. You can bring in your hematocrit and hemoglobin labs for the doctor to review during your consultation. The iron infusion takes about an hour and you can immediately go back to your normal activities. It usually takes about two weeks to see improvement in your hemoglobin or hematocrit. The doctor can order labs via LabCorp two weeks after your treatment to determine that your hemoglobin and hematocrit have returned to normal. Our doctors can also identify the cause of your anemia and provide treatment if needed. Prices range form $300 to $600 depending on the dosage required. The doctor will help you determine which dose is right for you. Same day appointment are available!
