What are some benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, in general, have more precision relative to other procedures, ergo, the treatment better targets the diseased or damaged tissue. Incisions are made more superficially and shallower and cause significantly less cumulative tissue trauma. People often tend to recover more quickly from laser treatments than what is expected from traditional surgery.

As found with any operation, there are risks. However, due to the precise focus of laser therapy, it is generally considered less of a risk relative to alternate surgical techniques. Some of the associated risks include reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and pain. Your health is of the utmost importance to the GI providers at Digestive Health Specialists.

Feeling a little apprehensive, I was very satisfied with the staff and Dr Lucido. I feel they were caring professionals that had a lot of experience and knowledge that helped me grasp what might be going on with my system. Thank you for putting my worries to rest.
Dr. Shireman is a great doctor. I am so happy to have found him!! He knew exactly what I was going through and he had a plan for me to follow immediately! Very professional ! His office staff are also wonderful people! I feel blessed to have them in my healthcare!!
Front desk staff very personable. Only waited about 5 minutes to be called back, then less than that when Dr. Totta came in. He asked multiple questions to get an accurate picture of my symptoms, and discussed the tests ordered with me. He was so thorough and was not in a hurry to get in and out. Wonderful experience!
I have had stomach problems for more than 20 years. I have seen many gastrointestinal doctors around this area. I finally found the right doctor for me. Dr. Schell. He is different from any other doctor. He listened carefully to me, and discussed with me regarding my problems. He took time, and was not rushed. He fully explained about medications I need to take, including the times I need to take each one. He was very kind. I was impressed. Thank you so much Dr. SCHNELL.
Benjamin Alsop, M.D. is wonderful! Thorough in his examination and explanations. Spent a lot of time with me and provided a thoughtful plan going forward. Very personable as well.
