How a visit works

Text to book

Text 512-788-8009 and tell me roughly what's going on and where you are. We'll settle on a time.

Symptoms and health history

You fill out a short intake form before I arrive, so I know what's safe for you ahead of time.

We decide together

We talk through what you're after and what you want to spend, and pick the drip that fits both.

Sit back

Scroll, watch TV, take a call, nap. Most infusions run 45–60 minutes.

I clean up and go

Everything leaves with me. You carry on with your day.

Who's showing up at your door

I'm Melissa Rhatigan, an Austin nurse of 20 years. Starting IVs and assessing patients is what I've done and taught for a long time. Fifteen of those years were in the ER, with a background in phlebotomy behind that — your veins are safe with me.

I've always been passionate about vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and holistic care. That's what brought me to this work, and it's why I believe in what I'm bringing to your door.

I'm the one who answers your text, and I'm the one who shows up. No dispatcher, no rotating roster, no upselling you on something you don't need. If I don't think an IV is the right call for what you're describing, I'll tell you that instead. That's what the name is meant to say — same nurse, every time.

Questions people ask

Where do you travel?

Central, east, and south Austin — the full ZIP list is above. Hotels and short-term rentals included. If your ZIP isn't listed, text me and I'll let you know.

How soon can you come?

Text me and I'll tell you the soonest window I have.

How long does it take?

Plan on about an hour from when I arrive. That includes vital signs, the infusion itself, and cleanup. Your intake form is completed before I get there, so none of that hour is spent on paperwork.

Does it hurt?

You'll feel the stick, and that's about it. Between the ER years and phlebotomy, difficult veins are familiar territory — including on people who've been told they're a hard stick.

What are your credentials?

Twenty years as a registered nurse and ten years as a nursing educator, licensed by the Texas Board of Nursing. I provide IV therapy as an independent contractor under the medical provider of Mobile IV Nurses.

Is this covered by insurance?

No. This is an out-of-pocket wellness service. [FILL IN: payment methods you accept.]

Who shouldn't get IV therapy?

IV fluids aren't appropriate for everyone. Your health history will be reviewed before every visit to ensure the treatment is safe for you, and I'll decline the appointment if it isn't. If you're acutely ill, call your physician or go to an emergency room.
