Clear answers about mobile IV hydration brought directly to your door. We are here to help you feel your best with professional, straightforward care.
General FAQs
What exactly is mobile IV hydration?
Mobile IV hydration is a service where we bring clinical wellness directly to you. A registered nurse delivers fluids, vitamins, and minerals through an IV in the comfort of your home, office, or hotel. It is a faster way for your body to absorb nutrients compared to drinking water or taking pills.
How does the concierge service work?
It is very simple. You choose a treatment on our website and pick a time that works for you. One of our trained medical professionals will arrive at your door with everything needed for the session. You can relax on your couch or bed while we handle the rest.
Who is performing my treatment?
Your safety is our priority. Every IV is administered by a highly skilled Registered Nurse (RN) or EMT-Paramedic. Our entire operation is overseen by board-certified anesthesiologists who ensure we follow the highest medical standards.
Where do you operate?
We serve families and individuals in Columbus, Ohio, and the surrounding areas. Whether you are at home, a local business, or staying in a hotel near the city, we can bring our mobile clinic to your location.
Is mobile IV hydration right for me?
Most healthy adults can benefit from our services, especially if you are feeling dehydrated, tired, or recovering from a long flight or intense workout. We perform a quick health check before every session to make sure it is a safe choice for you.

Who can get an IV treatment?
Most healthy adults can receive IV therapy. We review your health history before starting. This helps us make sure the treatment is right for your body.
When might you decline a service?
We will refer you elsewhere if you have certain heart or kidney issues. Our team stays focused on safety, so we only provide care when it is safe to do so.
Is this a replacement for ER care?
No. Mobile IV therapy is for wellness and recovery. If you are having a medical emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
What if I am pregnant or nursing?
We ask that you check with your OB-GYN first. Once you have their approval, we can provide specific hydration blends that are safe for you and your baby.
Disclaimer: Our services are for elective wellness and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.
How should I prepare for my IV session?
Preparation is simple. We recommend drinking a glass of water and having a small snack before your nurse arrives. Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can be easily rolled up to the elbow.
How long does a treatment take?
Most IV hydration sessions take between 45 and 60 minutes. From the time your nurse arrives to the time they finish, the entire process usually takes about an hour and fifteen minutes.
Are there any side effects?
Most side effects are very mild. You might experience a small amount of bruising or coolness at the IV site. Some clients notice a vitamin-like taste or smell in their mouth, which is normal and goes away quickly.
Treatment Process
What happens during a visit?
Your registered nurse will arrive at your location, perform a quick health check, and set up the IV equipment. They will carefully place the IV and monitor you throughout the entire infusion to ensure you are comfortable.
How will I feel after the treatment?
Many patients feel more alert and refreshed immediately after their session. Depending on the vitamins used, you might feel a boost in energy or a sense of relaxation that lasts through the day.
When will I notice a difference?
Because the fluids go directly into your bloodstream, many people feel the benefits of hydration right away. The vitamins and minerals typically work over several hours to help you feel your best.
