About Elite IV - Leaders in Mobile IV Care

Ajay Satyapriya, MD

Co-Founder, Elite IV  |  Cardiac Anesthesiologist  |  Columbus, Ohio

​

Duke-trained cardiac anesthesiologist. Former Chief of Cardiac Anesthesiology at Riverside Methodist Hospital. Columbus native, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, The Ohio State University, and Bishop Watterson High School graduate, and co-founder of the most credentialed IV therapy practice in Central Ohio.

​

Why he co-founded Elite IV.

Dr. Satyapriya co-founded Elite IV because he saw a gap that mattered. IV therapy in Columbus had become a wellness category — but the medicine behind it hadn't changed. These are still real medications, real doses, and real interactions with patient physiology. Most clinics weren't equipped to handle medically complex patients safely, and many weren't even screening for the conditions that would make IV therapy unsafe.

He partnered with Dr. Syed Ali and Summer Thirtyacre to build something different: a physician-led IV therapy practice that combines hospital-grade safety standards with the personalization and accessibility patients actually want. Elite IV is the result — the only IV therapy practice in Columbus where two board-certified physicians are personally on-site, screening every patient, designing every protocol, and applying the same clinical rigor to a private-practice infusion that they'd apply in an operating room
