Argon lasers are advanced tools that use argon gas to project a channel of light with a wavelength specifically absorbed by pigments present in hemoglobin and melanin, allowing it to pass over other materials without damaging them. Argon laser therapy employs this therapy to treat many gastrointestinal situations, including hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. If you are seeking argon laser therapy in Houston, TX, our team can help. For additional information regarding this therapy, reach out to the gastrointestinal physicians at Gastroenterology Consultants to make an appointment.
What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Generally speaking, laser therapies tend to offer more precision compared to traditional surgery, as they are better able to target damaged or diseased tissue. Surgical cuts can, therefore, be made more superficially and shallower and create less ensuing trauma to the tissue. Individuals generally tend to experience a faster recovery from laser operations than from more traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As is the case with all surgical procedures, argon laser therapy has its risks. However, because of the precise focus of laser therapy, it is most often thought to carry a lower risk compared to other surgical procedures. Some of the associated risks include pain, reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Your well-being is the primary concern to the gastrointestinal physicians at Gastroenterology Consultants. Discuss with our office to discover more in regard to the ways we prioritize your safety while making sure you receive reliable treatment.

My PCP sent me to this office for my colorectal screening procedure late last year. Had a good experience from consultation to the procedure itself and follow up care. Staff were friendly and professional, Dr Shah was polite and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. No difficulty in scheduling. Definitely recommend for your GI care.
The reception staff give careful attention. The Dr.'s assistant and Miss April do the same. Dr. Ojeas is a great gastroenterologist. Excellent in every way. Happy to be your patient.
Great doctor with great staff!!!!
Dr. Shah cured all of my problems in less than a month. I have had no problems at all over the past year. I will not go anywhere else for care, and I recommend him to everyone.
Dr. Ali is one of the most knowledgeable, efficient and caring doctors I have ever known. His staff members are just like him. They see you on time! They listen. I had life threatening problems. I am healthy now. These people are responsible for a crucial part of care which keeps me healthy now. Please see them. They're the best. I cannot stress this enough! They are all deeply committed and dedicated to my whole health, and they do care. They hear me. They know me. I am grateful.
