HEPATITIS B AND HEPATITIS C TREATMENT 11/12/2015

The Center is delighted to highlight our effective therapy for both of these common types of Hepatitis. Hepatitis B treatment for those with chronically active Hepatitis B or the Carrier State have been available for a number of years and are highly effective. Many patients clear Hepatitis B with their caute infection and do not require prolonged treatment. All patients with Hepatitis C who have a measurable viral load are candidates for therapy. The New Hep C drugs are the most exciting development in Infectious Disease since the advent of highly effective anti HIV therapy in the late 1990s–thus about 20 years.These drugs are highly effective with over 95% cure rates and unlike previous interferon based therapy are well tolerated. We have been recently partnering with the VA to treat some of the large number of such patients who come through their facility. If you are either Hepatitis B Surface antigen + or Hepatitis C antibody + please call our office to schedule an appointment so we can discuss these treatment options to see if they apply in your case.Dr. Smith
