The Hydration Room has officially opened its 50th clinic, a milestone that began with one IV created at home by Dr. Brett Florie to help someone he loved feel better. Today, our physician-designed IV and injection therapies support more than 150,000 patients. Discover how our new Wave of Wellness short film, patient stories, and expanded services reflect the future of proactive, modern wellness.
Wellness isn’t a trend anymore; it’s a lifestyle. This year, The Hydration Room reached a significant milestone that reflects how far proactive health has come. What started as one IV at home, made out of love and medical expertise, has now grown into 50 Hydration Room clinics across California.
It’s a moment worth celebrating, and a reminder of why we do what we do: to help you feel better, stay well, and live a healthier life, from the inside out, with IV therapy for wellness.
Hydration Room was founded in 2014 by board-certified anesthesiologist Dr. Brett Florie. Before there was a brand, a team, or a clinic, there was simply one goal: help someone he loved feel better.
When Dr. Florie created his first IV at home to help his now-wife ease severe migraines, he realized something powerful: that people deserved access to care that was fast, effective, and supportive of everyday life. That personal act of care inspired the very first Hydration Room clinic.
Today, more than 1.5 million IV and injection therapies later, The Hydration Room supports over 150,000 patients across California, and we’re still growing.
To honor this milestone, we launched Ride the Wave of Wellness, a short film exploring what wellness looks like in real life, during busy work weeks, long training days, family commitments, or simply trying to feel your best.
We also introduced a new patient storytelling series featuring members who shared how IV therapy helps them ride their own wave of wellness.
For some, the wave looks like:
Patients like Patty, an Orange County firefighter and proud IV member, remind us why this work matters: “Every time I get an IV, I feel re-energized, focused, and clear-headed. That helps me do my job well, take care of my team, and stay ready for the things I love. Out on the fire line, a clear mind means safety for me and for everyone beside me.”
This is wellness in action. This is what “riding the wave” truly means and what iv therapy for wellness can do.
From day one, the Hydration Room has stood for more than recovering from dehydration or illness. We’re here to help you optimize your health before you feel run down. Dr. Florie explains, “Wellness should be proactive, not reactive. Our patients aren’t just preventing or recovering from illness; they’re optimizing energy, recovery, and vitality.”
That belief is built into every therapy we design, from immune support and recovery to NAD+ for cellular energy and peptides for longevity.
Our growth to 50 clinics coincides with an increasing number of people taking control of their health year-round. Especially heading into the holiday season, with travel, stress, and cold and flu cases on the rise, patients want convenient, trusted options to stay well and feel their best.
Whether you’re fighting seasonal fatigue, boosting your immunity, preparing for travel, or supporting long-term wellness goals, IV and injection therapy provides your body with what it needs, fast.
We’re just getting started. New clinics are opening monthly throughout California, including in the Bay Area. We’re expanding our advanced wellness services, such as NAD+ for cellular health, and peptide programs for longevity and recovery, and continuing to invest in the physician-led care and medical oversight that have defined our clinics from day one.
