I had the worst experience of my life at this IV bar and I am still shaken by it.
I came in for an NAD+ IV. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. That changed when it was time to place the IV.
I was stuck more than six times with different needles. My right arm swelled up like a golf ball rising under my skin and started changing colors. The pain was unbelievable. I have never experienced anything like it. I said, "Stop, what is happening?" and they said they did not know. That was alarming. If you are licensed to put needles in people's arms, you should know what is happening and when to stop.
There was also blood all over the chair. I lost a lot of blood from repeated attempts to place the IV.
They then tried my other arm and still could not place the IV. For context, I get IVs regularly, including NAD+ and iron, and I have never had this happen. My veins are large and easy to access.
They eventually said they would do an injection instead. I paid and left. The owner did not apologize or acknowledge what happened. Instead, he asked if I wanted a subscription. That level of disconnect is honestly more concerning than the failed IV attempts.
The person attempting the IV was very sweet and kind, but if you run an IV bar, your priority should be having qualified staff who can safely, quickly and effectively provide the service you are selling.
My arm is still swollen and I am still experiencing significant pain hours later into the night. I do not want to write this review, but the fact that I am still in this much pain does not sit well. The attached pictures were taken 5 hours after the appointment and after cleaning the wounds with peroxide. read more
