Home › IV therapy
IV therapy, run by a nurse practitioner.
Fluid, vitamins and electrolytes straight into the bloodstream — skipping the gut and the liver, so you absorb what you actually take. Walk into our Old Town Temecula clinic — no appointment, no group minimum.
Why is an IV better than a rehydration drink?
Swallow a vitamin and it goes to your stomach, gets broken down, then passes through your liver before any of it reaches your blood. That's the first-pass effect, and it means you absorb a fraction of what you took.
An IV skips both. You reach concentrations you simply cannot get orally.
Everyone is screened before treatment — allergies, heart, kidneys, breathing, past reactions, pregnancy. Some people shouldn't have an IV, and we'd rather say so than take the money.
Many patients report feeling noticeably better after IV therapy. Every person responds differently, so results can vary. Our goal is to provide safe, thoughtful care with realistic expectations.
Peter O'Brien, NPQuestions people actually ask
How much does IV therapy cost?
Starting at $135 for a one liter bag of normal saline. That is the whole price — no call-out fee, no membership, no per-ingredient upcharge.
How long does IV therapy take?
Most appointments run 45 to 60 minutes from setup to walking out. Screening adds a few minutes before that. A liter of fluid takes about that long to go in safely.
How long do the effects last?
Everyone responds to IV therapy differently. Some people notice improved hydration or a general sense of feeling refreshed shortly after their infusion, while others may notice changes later that day or within the following 24 hours. Depending on the type of IV, your individual needs, hydration status, activity level, diet, and overall health, the effects may be noticeable for several days or sometimes longer. At GoTime Health & IV & IV, treatments are selected based on your individual goals and medical evaluation rather than promising a specific result or duration.
How often should you get an IV?
There is no one-size-fits-all schedule for IV therapy. How often you receive an IV depends on your individual health, hydration needs, lifestyle, treatment goals, and the type of infusion you are receiving. Some patients choose IV therapy only as needed, such as during travel, recovery, or periods of increased physical demand, while others incorporate an infusion every few weeks or once a month as part of their wellness routine. More frequent treatments may occasionally be appropriate for specific needs, but your schedule should always be based on a medical evaluation and adjusted according to how you respond. At GoTime Health & IV & IV, we focus on providing the right treatment at the right time — not simply more treatment.
Does it hurt?
You feel the needle go in and that is about it. It is a standard IV catheter, the same one used in any hospital. Peter spent six years placing them in an intensive care unit, so the stick is the easy part of the appointment.
Who shouldn’t get an IV?
IV therapy is not appropriate for everyone, which is why every patient should be screened before treatment. Extra caution may be needed for people with certain heart or kidney conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, pregnancy, significant fluid restrictions, medication interactions, or allergies to ingredients in the infusion. Your medical history, current medications, symptoms, and the specific IV being considered are reviewed before treatment, and if an infusion is not medically appropriate or a higher level of care is needed, it will not be recommended.
