IV Hydration Therapy
What is IV hydration therapy?
IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream β bypassing the digestive system for faster, more complete absorption. It is used to boost energy, strengthen immunity, speed recovery, improve hydration, and support overall wellness.
What IV drip options are available?
We offer a variety of blends tailored to your goals:
- Hydration & Recovery β dehydration, fatigue, post-illness or hangover recovery
- Immune Boost β high-dose Vitamin C, Zinc, and antioxidants
- Energy & Vitality β B-complex, magnesium, and amino acids
- Beauty & Glow β biotin, glutathione, and collagen support
- Myers’ Cocktail β the classic all-purpose wellness infusion
Custom blends available. Our provider will consult with you to select the right formula.
Is IV therapy safe?
Yes β when administered by a licensed medical professional. All IV therapy at Olive Branch is overseen by our Advanced Nurse Practitioner with 22+ years of clinical experience, including emergency care. We conduct an intake assessment before every session to confirm it is appropriate for you.
How long does a session take?
Most sessions run 30β60 minutes depending on the blend selected. You can relax, read, or work during your infusion. We aim to make the experience as peaceful and restorative as possible.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended to reserve your slot and allow us to prepare your personalized blend. We accommodate same-day requests when availability allows. Call (732) 584-6087 or book online.
Can IV therapy help prevent illness?
IV infusions such as our Immunity drip contain high-dose Vitamin C, Zinc, and essential minerals that support your body’s natural immune defenses. While IV therapy is not a substitute for medical treatment, regular sessions may help reduce susceptibility to common illnesses, especially during cold and flu season.
How often should I get an IV infusion?
This varies by individual and treatment type. For general wellness support, many patients benefit from monthly sessions. During peak cold and flu season or periods of high stress, bi-weekly infusions may be recommended. Your provider will help determine the best schedule for your needs during your consultation.
What should I expect during my first visit?
When you arrive, a provider will review your medical history and discuss your wellness goals. Once we determine the best infusion for your needs, you’ll relax in a comfortable treatment room while your IV is administered. Most full infusions take 30β60 minutes, and quick booster injections take just 5β10 minutes. Plan for about 15 additional minutes for check-in and screening on your first visit.
Are there any side effects from IV therapy?
Side effects are rare and typically mild. Some patients may experience slight bruising at the IV site, a cooling sensation during the infusion, or a mild metallic taste. Our medical team monitors you throughout the process to ensure your comfort and safety.
Who is a good candidate for IV therapy?
IV therapy is suitable for most healthy adults looking to support their hydration, energy, immunity, or recovery. It is not recommended for individuals with certain kidney conditions, heart conditions, or allergies to specific vitamins. A provider screening prior to treatment ensures your safety.
How much does IV therapy cost?
Our IV infusions range from $150 to $300 depending on the treatment selected. Quick booster injections start at $25 for B-12 and $50 for Glutathione. Visit our IV Hydration & Vitamin Therapy page for full pricing and treatment details.
Telehealth
Do you offer telehealth appointments?
Yes. Telehealth is available for a wide range of concerns β illness evaluations, medication refills, chronic disease follow-ups, lab result reviews, mental health check-ins, and more. Telehealth visits are convenient, secure, and available to patients throughout New Jersey.
How do I join a telehealth visit?
After booking, you will receive a secure link via email or text. You can join from any smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone β no special app required. We use a HIPAA-compliant platform to protect your privacy at every step.
Is telehealth available same-day?
In many cases, yes. Same-day telehealth appointments are often available for acute illness, prescriptions, and follow-up questions. We recommend contacting us early in the day for the best availability.
Is telehealth as effective as an in-person visit?
For many conditions β especially follow-ups, medication management, and non-emergency concerns β telehealth is equally effective. Our provider brings the same attentiveness and clinical thoroughness to every virtual visit. We will always let you know if an in-person evaluation is needed.

Does the Wellness Plan replace my health insurance?
No β it is not insurance and does not replace it. It covers your primary care visits and services with us.

Many patients find that combining a DPC membership with a high-deductible plan saves money overall.

Can I use my HSA or FSA for the Wellness Plan?

We accept all major credit and debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, cash, and electronic payments. Payment is due at the time of service for self-pay visits.
