Argon lasers are devices that use argon gas to produce a stream of light with a wavelength that is absorbed specifically by pigments including melanin and hemoglobin and passes without impact through a lot of substances like fluids.

How is argon laser therapy beneficial?
Laser therapies have more precision than alternative procedures, meaning that they can focus more on the damaged or problematic tissue. Surgical cuts can be made smaller and more superficially and result in significantly less overall trauma to the tissue. Individuals often tend to recover more quickly from laser treatments than from more traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As with any procedure, risks are present. Still, due to the extreme precision of laser therapy, it is most often thought to be less of a risk than other surgical approaches. Some of the associated risks include reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and pain. Your well-being is of the utmost importance to the GI specialists at the Lubbock Digestive Disease Associates in your community.

Dr. Kensing and his staff were helpful in identifying my symptoms. I feel much better today after my endoscopy.
Very understanding. Felt important. Seems good doctor.
You efficient use of my time and courtesy was appreciated. You agreed to my desired date for the procedure. Thank you!
Dr. Jabor took the time to listen and ask questions. He’s a little rough around the edges at first, but he “warms up”. He is very knowledgeable and good at what he does.
Friendly and addressed my issues
