We arrive on time, in one vehicle, with a clean kit
No second car. No third party. The kit lives in a refrigerated travel case the clinician signs out at the start of every clinical day.
How a visit works · under an hour, door to departure
From the booking call to the follow-up note the next day — every step is run by the same Missouri-licensed nurse practitioner. No call-center. No hand-offs. No mystery prescriber. This page walks through what actually happens, in order, with the small clinical decisions called out.
Step one · 90 seconds
Call the practice, or tap Book a visit and use the 90-second form. The clinician picks up the line during business hours (8a–10p daily) or returns the call inside an hour. The booking form takes 90 seconds — name, ZIP, service, preferred window, anything you want the clinician to know.
Why phone-first? Most visit decisions benefit from a 30-second clinical conversation before scheduling — a hangover drip (Stormwater) booked Sunday morning needs different prep than a Myers cocktail (Crystal Stream) booked Tuesday lunch.
Step two · 3 minutes
A HIPAA-aware intake form lands in your email. Medical history, current meds, allergies, anything pregnant or breastfeeding, anything that's changed in the last 30 days. Your clinician reviews every intake before arriving — not at the door.
Every so often an intake will turn up something that adjusts the visit — a med interaction, a blood-pressure history. Because the prescriber reviews every intake herself, those edits happen before the visit — not bedside.
Step three · arrival
One travel kit, signed out at the start of the day from a locked supply cabinet. No second car. No third party. No driver who isn't a clinician. The kit is a refrigerated travel case with everything for the visit and the visits scheduled after yours. On your end there's nothing to prepare — a chair, a sleeve that pushes past your elbow, and the address from your booking. She brings the rest.
If the practice scales beyond one clinician, the same pattern stays: clinical visits get clinical arrivals.
Step four · 90 seconds
The clinician confirms identity and intake, takes vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation), and walks through the consent specific to the drip you booked. Consent is not a formality — for Stormwater, the consent calls out each prescription option and the contraindications screened. You sign on a tablet; a copy is emailed and lives in your chart.
If something at the door changes the picture — vitals that don't fit the intake, a fever pattern that points to bacterial infection, active intoxication — the clinician will say so and decline the visit. A bad fit is not a sale.
Step five · 30–90 minutes
A new sterile catheter goes in (back of the hand or inside of the forearm) — one quick stick, similar to having blood drawn. The needle itself comes out as soon as the line is placed; only a soft, flexible plastic tube stays in your arm for the drip. Nervous about needles? Say so when you book: nervous-patient sticks are routine for the clinician, you can look away the whole time, and you never have to watch the bag. The drip runs at the rate the clinician sets for the recipe — Hydrate is fast, signature drips are slower, and ALA protocols take 90 minutes because that ingredient is prepared separately and paced carefully. You sit, lie down, or work. She stays with you the whole time. We don't set the line and leave.
Adverse reactions to IV vitamins and minerals are rare but they evolve fast when they happen. The right response is a clinician five feet away.
Step six · same day
When the bag is empty, the line comes out, the site is taped with a small pressure dressing, vitals get rechecked. A brief note is dispatched to your Jane chart and to your email the next morning — what to watch for, what was administered, when to call. The same clinician answers if anything unexpected shows up the next day.
For program patients (semaglutide, recurring members), the note also includes the next planned visit and any clinical observations worth carrying forward.
Common questions
What we do — and what we don't
No second car. No third party. The kit lives in a refrigerated travel case the clinician signs out at the start of every clinical day.
A bad fit at intake is not a sale. Patients with active illness, contraindications to the recipe, or active intoxication get a clear explanation and a referral.
The price you see on the menu is the price at the door, plus a published travel fee outside the Columbia core: $25 within 20 miles, $50 beyond. Members, program visits, and groups of three or more pay no travel fee.
Intake, consent, vitals, drip details, and follow-up notes live in our HIPAA-aware Jane platform. Your chart is portable on request.
Multi-hour chair time is not a good fit for a home setting. LoveMeIV offers a shorter, lower-dose injection under a clinician-approved protocol and refers high-dose infusion requests.
If you cannot stay awake or safely protect your airway, you need urgent care — not a home IV. We will tell you that on the phone.
