Staff is amazing. Julia was my nurse and Haley at the front. I wasn’t feeling well at all I am a Nurse by trade. Felt off for 3 days and getting worse. Walked by and thought the universe put it here on purpose. I had never had a IV that wasn’t tied to a hospital visit. They got me in right away I was in and out in less than an hour. I felt so much better with in First 15 min. I didn’t have time today but I will be joining monthly membership. This was just as good if not better than my bi-weekly massage. You think you’re drinking enough I walk around with a 40oz tumbler of water at all times. But I was dehydrated for sure. Thank you so much. I am spreading the word!!
