Infusion Center

---

At St. Pete Arthritis & Rheumatology Infusion Center, our staff members are ready to help at every step of the way:

• We work with your insurance carrier to approve the treatment
• We review costs with you so there’s no surprises, and we explore financial assistance if needed 
• We have a hassle-free appointment process 
• All infusions are administered by experienced registered IV nurse and supervised by our physician.

Private infusion rooms offer three distinct advantages: 

1)  Privacy - Having privacy makes it easier to talk to your care team without other people hearing your medical information. Private infusion rooms also cut down on the need to move to a private location to talk with your doctor. This reduces the time you spend at the infusion center.

2) Safety - Private infusion rooms help to control infection risks better since you are not sitting in a room with other patients. 

3) Comfortable and relaxing environment -  having family with you is important, so our rooms have extra seating for your family and friends.
