Your First IV Therapy Visit in Tulsa: What to Expect, Step by Step
A first IV therapy visit at Alpha IV Therapy in south Tulsa has three steps: you book online, call or walk in when a chair is open; you complete a $35 Good Faith Exam by telehealth on your phone; then you sit for your drip, which takes about 40 minutes for most 1-liter IVs. First-time clients can get the exam plus a 1-liter Hydration IV for $79 at the clinic.
Below is each step with its timing and cost, plus how a first visit changes for NAD+, high-dose vitamin C, walk-ins and mobile.
Your first visit at a glance
| Step | Where | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Book | Online, by phone, or walk in | Same-day appointments are common when slots are open |
| 2. Good Faith Exam | Telehealth, on your phone | Listed at 15 minutes; good for 12 months |
| 3. Your drip | The clinic, near 91st & Memorial | About 40 minutes for most drips |
Step 1: Book online, call, or walk in
Online booking has five steps: Visit Type → Service → Date & Time → Your Info → Confirm. As a new client you also sign consents, fill in an intake form and pay for your exam. For the $79 deal, book from the $79 new-client page; the deal is applied automatically, with no code to enter.
Walk-ins are welcome when chairs are open, but book ahead for NAD+, hangover and migraine drips and for weekend slots. The clinic is open every day: 10am–7pm Monday to Friday and 10am–5pm Saturday and Sunday.
Mobile visits can't be booked online, and neither can the Alpha Hangover Elite Quickie or Alpha Migraine Elite Quickie; call (918) 210-7568 for those.
Step 2: Complete your Good Faith Exam
Every first visit starts with a $35 Good Faith Exam, a short telehealth visit with a licensed provider that covers you for 12 months. You do it on your phone, it's listed at 15 minutes, and you repeat it once a year. The fee is non-refundable and doesn't guarantee approval for treatment, and the exam comes before your IV whether you book ahead or walk in.
Step 3: Check in and get your drip
The clinic is at 8922 S Memorial Dr, Suite C-1, in south Tulsa near 91st & Memorial, with free parking on site. When you arrive, tell the team which drip you came in for. Bring your phone and a charger, or a book.
Most 1-liter drips take about 40 minutes, and half-liter Quickies about 20. Alpha Hydration Liter, the drip in the $79 deal, is 1 liter of lactated Ringer's solution; the other 1-liter drips add their own ingredients to that same base. Speak up right away if anything feels off while your drip runs.
Most add-ons are quick injections given during your visit. On a $79 visit, any 2 of the regularly $30 add-ons are $45 and any 3 are $60, chosen at your appointment. Some add-ons are prescription medications (Toradol, Zofran, Pepcid and Benadryl), and some drips contain them: the hangover and migraine drips include Toradol and Zofran, and Alpha Tattoo Recovery includes Toradol. Your provider has to OK those at your Good Faith Exam. Tell the team what you've already taken today and about any medications or health conditions.
After your first visit
When the bag finishes, the line comes out, a bandage goes on and you're free to go. Follow any instructions the team gives you before you leave; our aftercare guide covers the rest of the day. If something doesn't feel right later, call the clinic at (918) 210-7568. For severe symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
For the next 12 months, each visit costs just the price of the drip. How often people come back depends mostly on what they're using IV therapy for.
What your first visit costs, by path
| First visit | You pay | When you pay | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| $79 new-client deal | $79 (normally $135) | All $79 at booking; nothing due at the visit unless you choose add-ons | Exam plus the Alpha Hydration Liter (1 liter). First-time clients only, in the clinic, one per person, and it can't be combined with memberships or other promos |
| Any other clinic drip | $35 + the drip, e.g. Alpha Hydration Quickie $70, Alpha Myers (Banana Bag) $190, Alpha Immune $250 | $35 at booking, the drip at your visit | Add-ons, most of them $30 each, are charged at your visit |
| NAD+ | $35 + $200 (250 mg) to $780 (1,000 mg) | $35 at booking, the NAD+ at your visit | Roughly 90 minutes at 250 or 500 mg, up to about 5 hours at 1,000 mg; if your schedule is tight, call before you book. See NAD+ prices by dose |
| High-dose vitamin C | $35 + $200 to $425 | $35 at booking, the infusion at your visit | 75 minutes. Needs a G6PD, CBC and CMP blood test drawn in the clinic before your first infusion; results take a day, so the draw and the infusion fall on different days. The bloodwork is included in the price |
| Mobile (home, office or hotel) | $35 + the mobile price, e.g. Mobile Alpha Hydration Liter $150 vs $100 in the clinic | Booked by phone | Within an 11-mile radius of South Tulsa, Sapulpa, Broken Arrow and Coweta; the $79 deal doesn't apply. See how mobile visits work |
Prices can change; the booking page shows the current price. The "When you pay" column assumes you book online. FSA and HSA cards are accepted for eligible services. The clinic is cash-pay and doesn't bill insurance directly, and insurance generally doesn't cover IV therapy. Active military, veterans, nurses, teachers, linemen and first responders get 20% off IV infusions.
Before you go: a quick checklist
- If you booked online, finish your Good Faith Exam before your appointment.
- Eat something beforehand. Skipping a meal can make a head rush more likely when you stand up afterward.
- Arrive hydrated.
- Have a list of your medications and allergies to share with the team.
- Bring your FSA or HSA card if you plan to use it.
- If you're sick, see your physician first. An infusion isn't a treatment for illness.
First-visit questions
Does my first visit have to be the $79 Hydration IV?
No. You can start with any drip on the menu. You pay the $35 exam when you book online and the drip at your visit.
What if needles make me nervous?
The IV goes in through a small needle, usually in your arm. You may notice mild bruising where the line went in. If needles make you nervous, say so when you arrive; it's a common concern.
Can I drive myself home afterward?
Most clients drive themselves afterward. Take it slow getting up. If you had Benadryl, which can make you drowsy, don't drive yourself home; arrange a ride. The same goes if you still feel lightheaded or foggy after sitting a few minutes.
