How it works here

Assessment before infusion. Always.

Intravenous therapy puts fluid directly into your bloodstream. That is a medical procedure with real risks attached, and in Ontario it is a regulated act for good reason. It begins with an assessment, not with a price list.

What the assessment covers

  • Medical history, medications and allergies
  • Kidney and cardiac history
  • Any recent blood work you have had done
  • What has brought you in, and what you expect
  • The risks, and your consent, before anything starts

What we will not do

We do not sell infusion packages or memberships, we do not run drip promotions, and we do not claim an infusion will cure an illness, prevent one, or fix how you feel. Where the honest answer is that you do not need this, that is the answer you will get.

Being straight with you

It is not a substitute for medical care.

If you have a symptom nobody has explained yet, the right next step is your family doctor, not an infusion. If blood work has shown a genuine deficiency, bring it in and tell us what was advised. IV therapy sits alongside proper medical care — it does not stand in for it, and any clinic suggesting otherwise is selling you something.

Common questions

Answers before you book.

Do I need an appointment and an assessment first?

Yes. Intravenous therapy is a medical procedure, not a walk-in treatment, and it starts with a proper assessment: your medical history, medications, allergies, kidney and heart health, and what has brought you in. If we do not think it is appropriate for you, we will say so — and that does happen.

Why does this page not list what each drip is for?

Because we are not going to tell you an infusion will fix your immune system, your energy levels or your hangover. Claims like that are made freely in this industry and are not well supported. What an infusion contains, and whether any of it is sensible for you, is a conversation to have with a practitioner who has seen your history — not a menu to choose from online.

Is it safe?

Intravenous access carries real risks, which is exactly why it is regulated: bruising, irritation of the vein, infection at the site, and occasionally a reaction to what is being infused. Those risks are low when someone is screened properly and the procedure is done by a qualified person, and they are explained to you in full before you consent to anything.

How long does it take?

Usually somewhere between thirty and sixty minutes for the infusion itself, plus time beforehand for assessment and consent, and a short period afterwards. Bring something to read. You will be seated the whole time and can leave once you are cleared to.

Can it replace seeing my doctor?

No, and it should not be used that way. If you have a symptom that has not been explained, an infusion is not the answer to it — see your family doctor. If a blood test has shown a genuine deficiency, that is a conversation for whoever ordered the test, and we would want to know what they advised.

Who should not have IV therapy?

It is generally avoided in pregnancy, in kidney disease or heart failure, where there is an allergy to a component of the infusion, and in certain inherited enzyme conditions. Some medications also matter. This is not a complete list — the assessment exists precisely to work through it properly rather than relying on you to know.
