Common Questions
Asked, answered.
Straight answers about in-home IV therapy, vitamin shots, scheduling, and safety in
Staten Island and across our service area.
Does IV vitamin therapy really come to my home?
Yes. Island Family Health is an in-home practice: a licensed Nurse Practitioner or Registered Nurse from our team brings the full clinical setup to you, runs the visit where you are comfortable, and carries everything back out.
Where do visits happen?
Visits take place at a home, office, or hotel across Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island. Tell us where you are when you send your request so availability and any travel fee can be confirmed.
Do you serve Staten Island?
Yes. Island Family Health began on Staten Island and now also serves Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island.
Can vitamin shots be given during an in-home visit?
Yes. Island Family Health offers vitamin injections during private visits at home, at an office, or at a hotel. Every request and medical intake is reviewed before an appointment is confirmed.
Who performs the visit?
Every visit is performed by a licensed Nurse Practitioner or Registered Nurse from our team. The practice is owned and led by a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner.
What happens during a first in-home IV therapy visit?
Your practitioner checks in with you and reviews your intake first. Then the stand, bag, and single-use supplies are set up around the chair you chose, your infusion runs with a licensed Nurse Practitioner or Registered Nurse present from start to finish, and everything is packed down and carried out when it ends.
Can I choose an infusion or vitamin shot online?
You can tell us which infusion or injection interests you, or choose Help me choose. The final service is discussed after intake and a health assessment, and it may be adjusted or declined when clinically inappropriate.
Is there a health screening before a visit?
Yes, every time. After you request an appointment, a medical intake form is emailed to you, and a nurse practitioner reviews it before the visit is confirmed. A health assessment is also part of every appointment itself.
Is IV vitamin therapy right for everyone?
No, and we would rather say so up front. A visit may not be offered, or may be adjusted, in cases such as pregnancy without written OB clearance, kidney or cardiac conditions, or G6PD deficiency before any high-dose vitamin C infusion. Every intake form is reviewed by a nurse practitioner first.
How should I prepare for the visit?
Drink water through the day before, eat something light beforehand, wear a top with sleeves that roll up easily, pick the spot where you would like to sit, and return your completed intake form before we arrive.
How do I find out what a visit costs?
Every request is reviewed by our clinical team. We reply personally with availability and pricing.
Do I pay on this website?
No. No payment is taken on this site. Pricing, travel fees, and any group rate are shared before the appointment is confirmed.
How do I request a mobile IV therapy visit, and how quickly will I hear back?
Send the website request form or call or text 718-701-8691. Our clinical team replies personally, usually the same day, with availability and next steps. A request is not a confirmed appointment.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Contact the practice as soon as you can. Our cancellation policy explains how your deposit is handled if you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment time.
Can we book as a group?
Yes. Group visits are available when three or more clients receive services together, and a short planning call is arranged first. Ask about a group visit when you send your request and we take it from there.
