I decided to try something new today. This place can easily get five stars. My totally experience wasn't five-star worthy, but it's definitely would be for someone. The place is very clean and welcoming. The chairs are not that comfortable, no back support, but they do have lounge seating that I think I would opt for next visit.
I've been eyeing this spot since it opened a few months ago.
You can call or make an appointment online. I did it online and received a call once they opened. You have to download their app and fill out a health questionnaire. I arrived on time at my appointment and was greeted by Katrina. She led me to the back and asked if I wanted sparkling or still water. Fancy! Anyway, i sat at the nurses' station, where I got my blood pressure taken and asked a few health questions.
Afterward, the nurse goes to make your drip and brings it out.
I tell the nurse that I only have one good vein as nurses/docs have had problems with finding my other veins in the past. She looks at my good vein and proceeds to stick me. She has it in at first and says that it moved, and she starts digging in my arm to find the find the vein. She apologizes and pulls the needle out. I'm putting pressure on my arm so that I can stop the bleeding. She tells me she is going to use a smaller needle and try again in another area of my arm. She pokes my arm a 2nd time in an area where I've never had a needle go, but she is the professional, so I go with it. She hooks me up to the IV, and my arm starts to burn and feels heavy like I can't lift it. She says that since it's my first time, I have to get use to it. I'm placed in a chair with my sparkling water and heating blanket and ready to enjoy my drip.
Two ladies walk in, and we are chatting while they are getting prepared for their drip. The nurse is mixing their concoction, and my arm is still hurting and is starting to fill stiff. I ask one of the ladies to get the nurse for me, and she comes to look at my arm. My arm is stiff and puffy, and it looks like it's filling up. The nurse decides to move the IV to my other arm, but in my hand. So I'm getting stuck a 3rd time... but the third time is a charm. No pain and no discomfort, and I enjoy what's remaining of my drip.
The rest of my appointment went well, and I went on my way. It's about 9 hrs later, and my arm is swollen and a little stiff. They said that a nurse would call and check on me tomorrow so we'll see what they say then.
Overall, I don't know if I notice a difference in energy. I selected the Powerpack, and I believe a 1/4 of it went in the wrong way. We'll see how the next couple of days goes. I'm interested in going again to really see if I notice anything changes. I guess time will tell. read more
