Argon lasers are devices that use argon gas to produce a stream of light with a wavelength that is absorbed only by specific pigments like melanin and hemoglobin, and passes without damage through many other materials such as fluids. Argon laser therapy applies this therapy to address many gastrointestinal problems, a few of which are hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. If you are in need of argon laser therapy in Denver, CO, our team can help.

What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, in general, have more precision than other procedures, with the result being the treatment is more focused on the problematic or diseased tissue. Incisions can, therefore, be made shallower and shorter and result in less cumulative trauma to the tissue. Individuals generally tend to benefit from more expedited recovery following laser operations than what is expected from traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As in any medical operation, there are risks involved. Still, due to the extreme precision of laser therapy, it is most often considered less of a risk than other surgical approaches. Some of the potential risks can include pain, reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Your wellbeing is extremely important to the gastrointestinal doctors at Colorado Gastroenterology.

I cannot stress this enough- Dr. Rufner is the best doctor that I have ever had in my life. I came to him incredibly ill from a flare-up. I was currently going to Rocky Mountain Gastro, where I experienced medical neglect. I had anemia due to the flare up, had lost 15 pounds and was experiencing medical grade fatigue. He saw right away and very clearly that they were not treating my flare up correctly for my UC as a whole correctly. He put me on meds and I was feeling better within a week. I think he saved my life. Dr. Rufner is caring and empathetic- He genuinely cares about his patients. He will sit and listen to your questions- I have never felt rushed. He is the first GI doctor that has sat with me and explained what UC is- and I was diagnosed back in July 2019 and started seeing him March 2023. He not only talked achieving remission, but all around wellness within my disease. Go to him! You truly won't regret it.
Outstanding😊🙏🏾😊
Dr. Brenner takes time to listen and answer all questions/concerns. She is a great doctor.
Dr. Rufner was incredible! He listened and heard my GI concerns and proposed a few solutions for me to choose from. I would recommend Dr. Rufner and his team to family and friends!
I have been seeing Dr Brenner for over a decade and now she is taking care of my husband. She is amazing...to the point, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable...we appreciate her expertise and advice. Highly recommend. Also my husband and I have both done colonoscopy and endoscopy and Dr Brenner, her staff and hospital settings are so comfortable and make the process so easy.
