IV Therapy FAQ| Village IV Therapy, Union Square NYC

IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small intravenous line. Because it bypasses digestion, your body may absorb these nutrients more directly than it would from food or oral supplements. At Village IV Therapy, every drip is administered by licensed clinical staff at our clinic near Union Square.

When administered by licensed medical professionals in a proper clinical setting, IV therapy has an established safety profile. Before your treatment, a member of our clinical staff reviews your health history to help confirm a drip is appropriate for you that day, and every visit is overseen by our supervising physician. As with any medical procedure, individual risk factors vary, so we encourage you to share your full health history with our team.

Most IV drips at our Greenwich Village clinic take about 45 to 60 minutes from start to finish. Wellness shots are much quicker, typically under 15 minutes since there's no drip involved. NAD+ IV is the exception: it's given as a slow infusion over about two hours for comfort and tolerability.

Elective IV wellness and vitamin therapy is generally considered an out-of-pocket service rather than a medically necessary treatment for a diagnosed condition. As a result, it's typically not reimbursed by health insurance. This is standard across IV wellness clinics and isn't specific to Village IV Therapy. We don't bill insurance for these services; payment is handled directly with our clinic.

Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept major credit and debit cards. We also offer membership and package options for clients who visit regularly. Ask our team about current options at your visit. IV therapy and wellness injections at our clinic are an out-of-pocket service.

We recommend booking in advance to help secure your preferred time slot, and same-day appointments are often available. Walk-ins are welcome at our Greenwich Village clinic based on availability, though booking ahead is the best way to make sure a treatment chair is open when you arrive.

Village IV Therapy is located in Greenwich Village, a short walk from Union Square, at 80 5th Ave, Suite 1405, New York, NY 10011. Visit our Contact page for directions, hours, and a map.

Open 7 days a week, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM.

All treatments are administered by licensed registered nurses under the oversight of our supervising physician. Village IV Therapy is part of Village Group Medical P.C., a licensed medical practice, not a mobile IV service, so every visit takes place in a real clinical setting with dedicated clinical staff.

Arriving well-hydrated and having eaten something beforehand can make your visit more comfortable. We also recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arm for the IV line. Beyond that, there's nothing special you need to do to prepare.

How you feel after a treatment varies from person to person. Many clients are comfortable returning to their normal daily activities right after their visit, though we recommend listening to your body and resting if you need to.

Some clients choose to add a wellness shot to an IV drip in the same visit. Our clinical staff can help you decide what combination, if any, makes sense for you when you arrive.

You can book online through our scheduling page, call us at 347-727-6617, or walk in based on availability. Same-day appointments are often available at our Greenwich Village clinic.
