Intravenous iron replaces low iron stores quickly when tablets have not worked or cannot be tolerated. Treatment is clinician-directed and delivered by our nursing team in the infusion lounge, with blood work before and after so the dose is matched to what your body actually needs.
Medication is not included in the listed prices. Patients must provide their own iron medication for the infusion.
For our rehabilitation services, direct insurance billing may be available depending on your provider and plan. If direct billing is unavailable, we will provide the appropriate receipt to submit to your insurer.
Low iron is quietly exhausting: the afternoons that feel like wading, the stairs that steal your breath, the cold hands, the fog. When tablets have failed you, or your stomach has failed the tablets, an intravenous iron infusion can replace months of supplementation in as little as a single visit.
AuraWell offers iron infusions in a calm clinic setting. Infusions are booked by appointment in our calm infusion lounge on Highway 7.
IV iron is considered for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia when oral iron is not working, not tolerated or not fast enough, commonly in heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, endurance athletes, digestive conditions that limit absorption, and after certain surgeries.
It begins with numbers, not assumptions: our Nurse Practitioner reviews your recent blood work, or orders what is missing, confirms that infusion is appropriate, and calculates the dose your body actually needs.
Your NP writes the prescription. Iron medication is excluded from the clinic fees and must be provided by the patient. Please obtain your prescribed medication from your pharmacy and bring it to your infusion appointment. You settle into a lounge chair, a registered nurse places a small IV, and modern formulations infuse over roughly an hour under continuous clinical supervision. Most people read, work or simply rest.
Weeks later we recheck your ferritin, because the goal is not an infusion; it is you, back at full brightness, with proof on paper.
Iron deficiency often creeps in slowly, so people adapt to it without realizing how unwell they feel. Common signs include tiredness that sleep does not fix, shortness of breath on stairs or during exercise, a racing heartbeat, hair shedding, brittle nails, restless legs at night, feeling cold, headaches and difficulty concentrating. Some people develop cravings for ice.
These symptoms overlap with thyroid problems, low vitamin B12, sleep disorders and depression, which is why blood work always comes first. A ferritin level shows how much iron your body has stored, and a complete blood count shows whether anemia has developed. Low iron also has a cause, such as heavy periods, pregnancy, diet, absorption problems or blood loss, and finding that cause matters as much as replacing the iron.
Eat normally and drink plenty of water beforehand, and take your usual medications unless your Nurse Practitioner tells you otherwise. Wear a comfortable top with sleeves that roll up easily, and bring something to read or a device to work on. Remember to collect your prescribed iron medication from the pharmacy and bring it with you. After the infusion you stay with us briefly for observation, then you can drive home and return to normal activities.
If you are searching for an iron infusion near you in Woodbridge, Vaughan, Maple, Richmond Hill or north Toronto, AuraWell Health offers NP-assessed, nurse-administered IV iron at 4600 Hwy 7, Unit 105 in Woodbridge, near Pine Valley Drive, with free parking at the door. No referral is needed. Our Nurse Practitioner reviews your blood work, confirms whether IV iron is appropriate, prescribes it when it is, and a registered nurse gives the infusion in our infusion lounge with monitoring throughout.
When you compare clinics nearby, look at more than distance. Ask who assesses you before the infusion, whether follow-up ferritin testing is part of the plan, and how the fees are split. At AuraWell, the NP assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan is $300 and the administration fee is $200. The iron medication is not included: it is prescribed to your pharmacy, is usually billed to your private drug plan, and you bring it to your appointment. Our iron infusion cost guide, linked below, walks through what most Ontario patients pay.
To get started, call 905-207-7000 or request care online. Bring recent ferritin and complete blood count results if you have them; if not, we can order them. Our team will confirm your appointment time once your assessment is complete.
Two costs exist and clinics rarely separate them, so we will. The iron medication itself is covered at or near full cost by most private drug plans. The clinic's role, assessment, nursing administration, monitoring and follow-up, is the fee you pay here, and it is published plainly. For most insured patients, the real out-of-pocket is far smaller than they feared.
Prefer a quick vitamin injection? B12 and vitamin D injections are given by our Nurse Practitioner, Samar Davarpanah, NP-PHC, after a short health review. For a whole-person plan for energy, hormones, digestion or nutrition, naturopathic care with Dr. Parya Bahrampour, ND starts with a free 15-minute consultation and, with your consent, is coordinated with your Nurse Practitioner and IV care in one plan.
Most private drug plans cover the iron medication at 80 to 100 percent, depending on your plan. The clinic fee covers assessment, administration and monitoring, and a Health Spending Account can often be used toward it.
No. Bring recent blood work if you have it, a ferritin and CBC are ideal, and our Nurse Practitioner can assess you and, when appropriate, prescribe and administer your infusion without any referral. If you have no recent labs, we can order them.
Modern formulations such as ferric derisomaltose often replace a full iron deficit in one to two visits, unlike older products that required a series. Your dose is calculated from your weight and your blood work.
IV iron is administered by a registered nurse with clinical oversight throughout, and current formulations have a well-established safety profile. The most common effects are mild, temporary headache, flushing or muscle aches. Serious reactions are rare, and we are equipped and trained for them.
Everyone differs, but many people notice energy improving over the following two to four weeks as iron stores rebuild and red blood cells replenish. We verify recovery with follow-up ferritin testing rather than guesswork.
AuraWell Health in Woodbridge offers iron infusions without a referral for patients from Vaughan, Maple, Richmond Hill, Toronto and across the GTA. Our Nurse Practitioner assesses you and reviews your blood work, and a registered nurse administers the infusion with monitoring throughout.
The medicine is the same; the experience is not. Here you book an appointment time that suits you, sit in a private lounge rather than a ward, and keep one clinical team from assessment through follow-up. The hospital route is free and a good choice for many people.
Yes. A few weeks after your infusion we recheck your ferritin and complete blood count to confirm that your iron stores have recovered, and your Nurse Practitioner reviews the results with you. If your levels are still low, or the cause of the deficiency needs more investigation, you agree on the next steps together, including a referral when it is appropriate.
