I can honestly say IV Garden saved my life.
I’ve struggled with severely heavy periods my whole life and had been on birth control for 30 years. When my prescription ran out and the one I used was on backorder, I ended up bleeding heavily for over a month. My iron, ferritin, and hemoglobin tanked (ferritin 2, iron 13, hemoglobin 9), and it left me so weak I couldn’t eat, sleep, or function. It even caused swallowing issues so bad I lived on a liquid diet for six weeks.
I went through a nightmare of seeing my primary care, two urgent cares, and two emergency departments in New Hampshire—no one would help me. I was brushed off, told “your levels aren’t that low” or “it’s in your head,” even though I felt like I was knocking on death’s door. Two hematologists refused to even see me. I was scared, exhausted, and hopeless—if it wasn’t for my husband during that time, I don’t know what I would have done.
Finally, in June, I found IV Garden. From the first consultation with Taylor, I felt heard and cared for. They looked at my labs and had me scheduled for my first iron infusion just two days later. I was terrified because I had never had one before, and I had scared myself reading horror stories online. Elizabeth was the nurse for my first infusion, and she was absolutely amazing—patient, kind, and reassuring, answering every one of my questions (even when I repeated them). She made the whole experience calm and comfortable.
Since then, I’ve completed 1,250 mg of Venofer iron infusions. My ferritin has gone up to 46, iron to 47, and hemoglobin to 13. I still have a ways to go, but I feel like I finally got my health and my life back.
Taylor, Elizabeth, Molly, and Kelsey (I hope I spelled that right!) are all incredible—welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They make you feel at home the moment you walk in.
No one in the medical system here would listen to me, but IV Garden did. I stand firm in saying these ladies saved my life, and I will be a lifelong client. I recommend them with all my heart.
