Find a ProviderWhat is argon laser therapy?
An argon laser is a device that uses argon gas to produce a channel of light characterized by a wavelength that is absorbed only by specific pigments, such as melanin and hemoglobin, and moves without impact through many other materials, such as fluids. Argon laser therapy is used to address many gastrointestinal problems, a few of which are hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. If you are seeking argon laser therapy in Connecticut, we can help. For additional information about this laser therapy, reach out to our GI specialists at your nearest Connecticut GI location to request an appointment.
What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, for the most part, are more precise than alternate methods; therefore, this procedure can focus on only the problematic or diseased tissue. Surgical cuts are made more superficially and shallower and cause significantly less resulting tissue trauma. Patients tend to benefit from more expedited recovery from laser operations than expected from traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As with any surgery, there are risks. Still, due to the precise focus of laser therapy, it is generally considered a lower risk compared to alternate surgical procedures. A partial list of the associated risks can include reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and pain. Your safety is of the utmost importance to the gastroenterologists at Connecticut GI. Connect with our practice to hear more about how our procedures keep you safe, while providing you with reliable treatment.
How can I prepare for argon laser treatment?
Our Connecticut clinical team will give you specific preparation directions to adhere to before your argon laser therapy. You may be advised to stop using particular medications that can increase risk during the treatment. You should also plan for some recovery time and travel following your surgery, considering you will most likely remain somewhat sedated. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions that you may have about the argon laser treatment process when you consult with your provider.

OMG! Dr. Smiley, is the greatest! He is extremely attentive and professional and explains any concerns you may have. He treat you with integrity and respect. Has a very comfortable up beat spirit and wonderful smile with a history of knowledge in the GI.... Can't go wrong. We indeed need more doctors like him that care enough about the patients and not just the compensation they are making. In the medical industry today is so hard to find doctors and medical staff that really care for the patient well being some are just in it for the paycheck as sad as it sounds. I understand everyone has to make a living but if you are in the medical industry it's because you supposedly a caring sympathetic and loving individual and really want to get people feeling well again. It's not an easy task in today statistic world that only numbers seem to matter rather the truth of medical care for the wellness of all patients regardless of their level in society. I recommend Dr. Smiley, highly for his compassion and dedication to his mission to help others maintain a well balanced healthy life style.... Thank you....
Just a good man
I don't think I've ever written a review for a doctor but I just have to say Dr. Smiley is one of the best. He really takes the time to understand what you're experiencing and asks all the right questions to really get to the bottom (no pun intended) of what's causing your symptoms. I told him he's like a detective! Relentlessly in pursuit of answers and a diagnosis. He's friendly, approachable and patient. The only negative is that he's too popular and it's difficult to get an appointment with him at times!
Like a well-oiled machine. Everything was well done...from check in to procedure to discharge. Nurses, anesthesiologist, MD, all were great.
Dr Schaumburg is great - he’s experienced and personable!
