Our Clinical Standards
Skilled Visits brings IV therapy, wellness shots, rapid testing and blood draws to homes, hotels, offices and yachts. The setting is relaxed, but the care isn't. Every visit follows the same clinical standards, wherever it takes place.

Who provides your care
- Registered nurses
Every treatment is given by a licensed registered nurse. You can verify any Florida nursing license through the Florida Department of Health's license verification service.
- Nurse practitioner oversight
Our clinical protocols and patient education are reviewed by Lilian Alishaev, FNP-BC, a board-certified family nurse practitioner.
Screening before every treatment
No IV starts without a screening. At every visit, your nurse:
- 01Reviews your symptoms and what you'd like help with
- 02Asks about your medical history, current medications and allergies
- 03Checks your vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen level (pulse oximetry) and temperature
- 04Confirms the treatment is appropriate for you, or recommends a different one
Some treatments need extra clearance. Prenatal Care requires clearance from your OB/GYN, and Post-Surgery Support requires clearance from your surgeon.
When we won't start an IV
Knowing when not to treat is part of good care. Your nurse will recommend urgent care, an emergency department or 911 instead of treating if they see signs such as:
- Chest pain or difficulty breathing
- Signs of a stroke
- Severely elevated blood pressure
- Severe dehydration that needs hospital care
- Any unstable medical condition
If we decline treatment for your safety, you're charged only the $50 visit deposit.
Medications and prescription orders
- Sourcing
Vitamins, minerals and medications come from licensed U.S. pharmacies and medical suppliers.
- Prescription medications
Medications such as ondansetron (Zofran), famotidine (Pepcid) and ketorolac (Toradol) are given only under a provider order, after evaluation.
- Prescription infusions
Iron sucrose (Venofer) is given only after a provider evaluation and order.
Sterile technique and monitoring
- Single-use, sterile IV supplies for every client
- Hand hygiene and skin preparation before every IV start
- IV bags prepared at the visit using aseptic technique
- Your nurse stays with you for the entire infusion and watches for any reaction
- Sharps and medical waste are removed and disposed of according to regulations
If something unexpected happens
Reactions are uncommon, but our nurses come prepared. Every nurse carries emergency medications and equipment, including epinephrine and diphenhydramine, and is trained to respond. If needed, they'll stop the infusion, stay with you, and call 911.
After your visit
Your nurse explains what to watch for afterward, such as tenderness at the IV site. Our team follows up by text after your visit and is available 24/7 at (305) 808-7777 if you have questions.
