Iron Infusions.
Wellness IVs.
Finally done right.
A boutique medical infusion practice in NYC.
Book an Appointment
The Fern was built by two New York City integrative physicians, a psychiatrist and a gastroenterologist, who kept watching their patients struggle with iron deficiency while waiting weeks for infusions in uninviting and communal infusion centers.
They knew there had to be a better way.
So they built The Fern.

Why The Fern?
We’re not a hospital infusion center.
No waiting rooms filled with sick patients. No impersonal care from people who don’t know your name. Our office suite was designed to feel like a home. We have a scent-free and low tox space with an in-house relaxation lounge, gardener, organic snacks, and tons of warm natural light.
We’re not an IV drip bar.
Drip bars are fun but we’re clinical. Iron infusions carry a risk of allergic reactions which is why we have NP and physician oversight and emergency protocols. We take your safety as seriously as your experience.
Same week appointments.
At a hospital or insurance-based infusion center, the average wait for an iron infusion is 4–6 weeks after insurance authorization. We can see you asap.
Private pay. No surprises.
Cash pay means no prior authorizations, no denials because your ferritin isn’t low enough on paper, and no surprise bills three months later.
