IV therapy is the intravenous administration of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants delivered directly into the bloodstream. Because the nutrients bypass digestion, they reach blood concentrations that oral supplements cannot match. Vitamin C given through an IV can reach a blood concentration more than 50 times higher than when given orally.
IV therapy at our Gilbert office is administered by a licensed medical provider. Each infusion takes about 30 to 60 minutes for one liter of IV fluids. Our menu covers everything from Myers Cocktail and NAD+ to targeted deficiency treatments and injectables. The specific infusion you receive is tailored to your symptoms and your health and wellness goals.
The program is led by Chad Dance, FNP-C, MSN, MS. Your provider evaluates why you are seeking IV therapy, screens for contraindications, and recommends the infusion that fits your situation. This page covers our IV menu, injectables, who is a candidate, and what to expect from your first visit. To get started, call (480) 499-4441 or request a consultation.
When you swallow a vitamin, it has to survive stomach acid, get absorbed through the intestinal wall, pass through the liver for first-pass metabolism, and then enter general circulation. A lot of what you take orally never actually reaches the tissue that needs it.
IV therapy skips all of that. Nutrients enter the bloodstream directly and reach every tissue in the body within minutes. NIH research on intravenous vitamin C confirms that IV delivery produces blood concentrations orders of magnitude higher than oral supplementation. That is why IV therapy is effective for acute rehydration, immune support during illness, recovery from athletic exertion in the Arizona heat, and correction of clinical vitamin deficiencies.
IV therapy is not a fix for poor nutrition. Patients often hear that during their first appointment when the conversation turns to what they are actually eating. IV therapy complements a solid diet. It does not replace one.
Created by Dr. John Myers, this IV blend has been used for decades to treat chronic conditions like asthma, fibromyalgia, fatigue, and migraines. The Cleveland Clinic overview of Myers Cocktail covers the mainstream medical perspective on the treatment. Our proprietary Myers blend covers key vitamins and nutrients that support the immune system with a focus on prevention of cold and flu.
Our Myers Cocktail contains:
Benefits patients report from Myers Cocktail:
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme naturally produced by your body. It is essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and the function of your brain, internal organs, and neurological systems. NAD+ levels decline as we age.
NAD+ IV therapy is a holistic, all-natural way to help your body fight cellular aging from the inside. It also has documented value in supporting recovery from substance dependence.
Benefits of NAD+ include:
NAD+ is available at Keystone in three forms: IV infusion, intramuscular (IM) injection, and sub-cutaneous (Sub-Q) injection. IV infusion delivers the highest concentration and works fastest. Injections are more convenient for maintenance dosing after an initial IV series. Your provider will help you decide which route fits your goals.
Our full IV nutrient menu covers hydration, immunity, athletic recovery, energy, beauty, hangover recovery, and Myers Cocktail. Individual infusions are targeted to specific goals. Patients dehydrated from a long weekend outside might come in for a straight hydration drip. Patients trying to knock out a cold before a business trip might opt for the immunity blend. Recovery patients might combine hydration with an amino acid blend and B12.
Every IV starts with a conversation about why you are here. If you are looking for a specific effect, your provider will tell you which infusion is most likely to deliver it and which one is not.
Not every treatment requires an IV. Several of the most requested vitamins and nutrients can be delivered as intramuscular (IM) injections, which take a minute or two and produce comparable clinical effects for many indications.
Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in brain function and overall health. B12 is found mostly in meat and dairy, so deficiency is common in patients who follow vegetarian or vegan diets. B12 deficiency is also common in older adults because absorption declines with age. Untreated B12 deficiency can cause anemia and neurological symptoms.
B12 injections are the most effective way to correct and prevent deficiency. Benefits include:
Biotin injections promote healthy skin, hair, and nails. If you are experiencing fine, fragile, or thinning hair and brittle nails, biotin injections may help. Biotin is a vital component in the natural hair growth process and plays a major role in skin and nail health.
Biotin is available as an IM injection or added into an IV infusion. Your provider will help you decide which option fits your goals.
B vitamins are a group of eight nutrients, each with a distinct role in overall health. Vitamin B deficiency symptoms depend on which B vitamin you are deficient in. Older adults and pregnant women are at higher risk and may need higher doses.
B12 deficiency can cause anemia and psychological symptoms including depression and confusion. B6 deficiency can cause skin rashes, susceptibility to infection, depression, confusion, and anemia. We treat B vitamin deficiency with injectable B vitamins targeted to the specific deficiency identified in your labs.
Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin. Nearly every cell in the body has receptors for it. Vitamin D deficiency is widespread, with an estimated 42 percent of American adults deficient.
Higher-risk groups include people with darker skin, older adults, patients who are overweight, patients living in places with less sunlight, patients who use sunscreen frequently, and patients who stay indoors most of the day. In Arizona, we see vitamin D deficiency in patients who avoid the sun year-round because of the heat.
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include:
Vitamin D can be corrected with IM injections. Baseline lab work identifies the depth of deficiency and guides dosing.
Beyond the medical IV and injection menu, our Gilbert office also offers cosmetic injectables.
Botox and Xeomin injections reduce facial wrinkles and creases. Both are types of neurotoxin that block signals from nerves to muscles in small quantities. Muscles at the injection site cannot contract, which softens wrinkles.
Botox and Xeomin are also used to treat neck spasms, excessive sweating, lazy eye, and chronic migraines. Not every treatment is cosmetic. Some patients come to us specifically for migraine or spasm management with Botox.
Lipodissolve is a non-surgical series of injections that liquifies fat cells in specific targeted areas. It is used for body and facial contouring of localized fat in small areas like the inner and outer thighs, stomach, arms, back, and chin. Lipodissolve is not a weight loss option. It is for patients who are happy with their overall weight and want to contour specific areas.
Kybella is FDA-approved for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat (fullness under the chin). Kybella injections are given at least one month apart. Your provider will determine how many treatments you need based on your specific situation.
IV therapy is appropriate for adults looking for targeted symptom relief, nutrient support, or clinical correction of a confirmed deficiency. It works well for immune support during cold and flu season, recovery from athletic exertion or dehydration, and treatment of documented vitamin deficiencies.
IV therapy is not appropriate for patients with severe kidney disease, congestive heart failure requiring fluid restriction, or IV allergy history. During your first visit, your provider screens for these contraindications before recommending an infusion.
If you are looking for IV therapy to compensate for a poor diet or replace medical treatment for a serious condition, this is not the right service. We will tell you that directly rather than sell you an infusion package.
Individual infusion pricing is on the services pricing page. Myers Cocktail is the most affordable IV infusion. NAD+ costs more because of the compound itself. Injectable options (B12, biotin, vitamin D) are less expensive than IVs.
Package pricing is available for patients who want a series of infusions. Ask about IV memberships during your first visit. We accept HSA and FSA payment for medically indicated services (Myers Cocktail for migraine, B12 for deficiency, vitamin D correction, etc.), offer financing through Cherry, and post current new patient offers.
Your first visit takes about 60 to 75 minutes including the infusion itself. Your provider reviews your medical history, discusses why you are seeking IV therapy, and recommends the right infusion for your goals. Setup and IV insertion take about ten minutes. The infusion runs for 30 to 60 minutes depending on volume.
You can bring a laptop, a book, or headphones. Most patients relax during the infusion. There is nothing unpleasant about the experience once the IV is placed.
After the infusion, we monitor you briefly, then you are free to leave. Most patients feel noticeable effects within an hour, though maximum benefit depends on the infusion. NAD+ effects, for example, build over the course of several IVs rather than one.
Chad Dance, FNP-C, MSN, MS, is the lead Family Nurse Practitioner overseeing the IV therapy program at our Gilbert office. Two master's degrees, board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with over thirteen years of combined nursing and NP experience.
Before becoming a nurse practitioner, Chad spent more than five years as an ICU nurse at a Level II trauma center in Idaho. He placed IVs, ran drips, and managed fluid and electrolyte balance on critically ill patients thousands of times. That background is genuinely useful for wellness IV therapy. Vein access, infusion pace, and knowing when a patient is reacting to an IV are skills that come from clinical experience, not a weekend certification.
Chad is fluent in Spanish, both conversational and medical. Spanish-speaking patients can request a Spanish-language appointment when booking.
Our Gilbert office is at 3076 East Chandler Heights Road, Suite 115, in south Gilbert. Many of our IV therapy patients come from Power Ranch, Seville, Adora Trails, Trilogy at Power Ranch, Coronado Ranch, Country Shadows, and the surrounding master-planned communities. We are about five minutes from Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and ten minutes from San Tan Village.
We also serve patients from Queen Creek and east Chandler. The drive from most parts of Queen Creek is under fifteen minutes. If you would prefer our Mesa Eastmark office for IV therapy, that location offers the same menu with the same provider model.

Myers Cocktail is our most affordable IV infusion. NAD+ costs more because of the compound itself. Injectable options like B12, biotin, and vitamin D cost less than IV infusions. The services pricing page lists every infusion and injectable. HSA and FSA are accepted for medically indicated services, and financing through Cherry is available.
IV drip therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion. That allows nutrients to reach blood concentrations much higher than oral supplements can achieve. Vitamin C given through an IV can reach a blood concentration more than 50 times higher than when given orally. IV therapy is used for hydration, immune support, energy, recovery, and correction of clinical deficiencies.
Most infusions take 30 to 60 minutes for one liter. First-visit patients should plan for 60 to 75 minutes total, including intake, provider consultation, IV placement, and post-infusion monitoring. Return visits are faster.
Myers Cocktail is a blend of vitamins and nutrients focused on immune support, energy, and general wellness. NAD+ is a specific coenzyme targeting cellular energy production, DNA repair, and neurological function. Myers Cocktail is broader. NAD+ is more targeted. Some patients get both, spaced apart in a treatment plan.
For most healthy adults, yes. IV therapy is administered by a licensed medical provider who screens for contraindications during your first visit. Patients with severe kidney disease, uncontrolled heart failure, or IV compound allergies are not candidates for standard IV therapy. We screen for these during intake.
It depends on the infusion and your goals. Myers Cocktail and standard hydration IVs can be done as often as weekly. NAD+ is typically done as a series of infusions over one to two weeks, then maintenance dosing every few months. Your provider will recommend a frequency based on why you are seeking IV therapy.
A licensed provider must order and administer IV therapy in Arizona. At Keystone, your provider evaluates you and orders the appropriate infusion during your first visit. You do not need a referral from another doctor.
Most patients feel some effects within an hour of an IV infusion. Hydration and energy are usually noticeable immediately. Immune support builds over days. NAD+ benefits typically develop over the course of several infusions rather than one. Your provider will tell you what to expect for the specific infusion you receive.
Insurance coverage for IV therapy varies. Medically indicated IVs such as B12 for confirmed deficiency, Myers Cocktail for migraine management, or vitamin D correction may be covered under some plans or eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Wellness-focused IVs typically are not. We are an out-of-network practice and do not bill insurance directly.
Good candidates are adults with specific goals for their IV therapy: recovery from athletic exertion or dehydration, immune support during illness, treatment of a confirmed vitamin deficiency, or targeted symptom relief. They want to feel better, not fix a problem that requires other medical treatment. During your first visit, your provider will tell you honestly whether IV therapy is the right choice for your situation.
Call (480) 499-4441 or request a consultation online. Same-week appointments are usually available.
