How It Works
Our IV Infusion Process
Our nurses will guide you through each step of your appointment, ensuring you feel safe and well-informed about the vitamins and fluids being administered. The initial appointment typically lasts about an hour from start to finish. For repeat or regular clients, the process may be completed more quickly
Important Steps to Take After Booking Your Appointment:
After booking your appointment online or via text, you will receive a confirmation message. Subsequently, an intake form from IntakeQ will be sent to your email. This form must be completed before every appointment, as it updates your pertinent information and includes the consent form that must be signed for safety and compliance. It is crucial that first-time clients fill out this form immediately, as our nurses will not proceed to the appointment without having received and reviewed it first. If you do not find this email immediately, please check your spam folder.
For first-time appointments or if there has been a change in your medical history, you will be scheduled for a brief Good Faith Exam via telehealth, typically conducted during your IV infusion appointment unless planned in advance under special circumstances. This exam, mandatory at the initial appointment, after any major medical updates, and annually, is facilitated by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. It is quick and straightforward, with a fee of $27.99, payable even if you are not cleared for IV infusion.

Day of Your Appointment:
For mobile appointments: Shortly before your scheduled time, you will receive a text notification with an estimated time of arrival (ETA). If there are any unexpected delays, you will be promptly informed.
When your nurse arrives, they will introduce themselves and take a moment to review your selected package and answer any questions you may have. They will then confirm the information from your intake form to ensure there are no contraindications before obtaining your vitals.
To help create a calm and safe environment, please ensure that pets and small children are kept out of the area where your IV will be administered. This allows your nurse to focus fully on your care and helps maintain a clean, distraction-free space for your appointment.
The process is very similar for in-office visits at our San Marcos location, where the same level of professionalism, comfort, and personalized care can be expected.
IV Infusion Process:
The IV infusion is carefully prepared, and IV access is established by your nurse. Any nutrients or medications that can be administered directly are given first, followed by the main infusion, which begins at a slow rate. Once all direct pushes are completed, the flow rate is increased to ensure a comfortable and efficient delivery. Most infusions take approximately 20 to 30 minutes, though the process may take longer if a smaller needle is required or if a specialty IV is being administered.
Your nurse will remain with you throughout the entire infusion to monitor your comfort and safety. Once complete, the IV is gently removed, and the site is wrapped appropriately. Aftercare instructions will be provided to help you feel your best following your infusion. Payment is then processed before departure.
