Dr. Erica Behr, ND is the primary naturopathic doctor responsible for delivering IV therapy at FMU.
Is an intake necessary before receiving an IV?
Yes, every patient must have an initial appointment with one of our naturopathic doctors before receiving IV therapy. This is to ensure that you have been properly screened and are a suitable candidate for the therapy.
