Overview

The BFAC Infusion Center provides infusion services to a variety of patients with allergic, immunologic, or gastrointestinal diseases in whom IV therapy may be necessary to optimize their treatment regimen. The infusion center is managed by two experienced registered nurses and is overseen by Dr. John Leung. Our center is unique in that it is supervised by a board certified allergist who is experienced in handling drug allergic reactions. Most infusion centers don’t have an allergist on site, even though allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are some of the most common side effects of infusion therapy.

 Why Us?

Environment   Patients are treated in a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. You will be closely monitored during infusion by RNs and a board certified allergist.

Short wait time and low cost   Infusing patients on an outpatient basis allows us to keep both your wait time and your medical cost low, as the high facility fees associated with in-hospital infusions are avoided.

Convenient and comfort   Our bright, clean outpatient facility is easily accessible from the Chinatown T station and discounted parking coupons are available for your convenience. We provide juice, water, coffee and light snacks. High-speed free Wifi and blankets are available.
