Built for San Jose women

You delivered at Good Samaritan Hospital or El Camino Hospital six months ago. Your ferritin came back at 18 at your six-week visit. Your OB said “try oral iron.” You’re still running San Jose Unified or Los Gatos-Saratoga drop-offs, sitting in 101 or 880 traffic every morning, and your hair is coming out in the shower.

Most San Jose women we see are postpartum or dealing with years of heavy cycles. They end up in the ferritin "gray zone". Iron stores between 15 and 30 ng/mL, where bloodwork looks normal but exhaustion is real. Hair sheds. Nails split. Brain fog makes it hard to finish a sentence. Many women experience postpartum hair loss after a Good Samaritan Hospital or El Camino Hospital delivery that oral iron alone doesn't resolve.

Many local OBs in San Jose, Willow Glen, and Almaden Valley flag low ferritin at the postpartum checkup but don’t offer in-office infusions.

Oral iron takes three to six months to work. If you can tolerate the stomach cramps and constipation. A Good Samaritan or El Camino infusion suite visit means half a day: fighting 101 or 880 each way, scheduling delays, garage parking, waiting rooms. Hard to manage with a newborn at home.

About Venofer® and How We Keep You Safe

Venofer® (Iron Therapy IV) is iron sucrose, the same IV iron formulation used by Good Samaritan Hospital and El Camino Hospital and major hospital systems across the U.S. It delivers absorbable iron directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive issues that make oral supplements intolerable for many women.

We require recent lab work. A CBC and ferritin test within the past 90 days before every infusion. This confirms you're iron-deficient and protects against iron overload, a real medical risk if you're given IV iron when you don't need it.

  • Active infection or fever at time of visit = immediate rescheduling
  • Known iron overload conditions (hemochromatosis) = not a candidate
  • Certain pregnancy stages are screened out for safety
  • Real-time physician backup available during every home visit
  • RNs trained in adverse-reaction protocols and carry emergency supplies

Real Stories From Santa Clara County

★★★★★

101 at rush hour, or an RN at my door by 10. I picked the RN.

Willow Glen to Good Sam on 101 during rush hour is not happening with a newborn. DripGym’s RN was at my kitchen table by 10 AM. Ferritin moved from 22 to 69 in eight weeks.

-Natalie, Willow Glen
★★★★★

El Camino was fifteen minutes away. Still a half-day ask.

Drove to El Camino Hospital for an infusion-suite consult after my six-week visit. Parking, check-in, waiting room — nearly four hours with a newborn and no childcare. DripGym was at my house in 48 hours and the whole visit was under 90 minutes.

-Priya, Almaden Valley
★★★★★

Gray-zone ferritin, dismissive GP, Saturday morning fix.

Ferritin in the low 20s, GP told me twice it was fine. DripGym’s MD looked at the same labs and said this is treatable. Saturday morning infusion at home. Energy back in ten days.

-Sofia, Los Gatos
★★★★★

I thought it was just perimenopause.

In my mid-40s, I blamed the fatigue and hair loss on perimenopause. My ferritin was 18, but my GP said I wasn't anemic. I booked a Saturday infusion with DripGym—the RN set up in my kitchen and explained everything clearly. A few weeks later: steadier energy and clearer thinking.

-Diana, Munsey Park

Questions Manhasset Patients Ask

At-home Venofer® infusions start at $400 per session, with package pricing available including a buy 5 infusions, get 1 free offer. Pricing includes the prescribed Venofer® medication, licensed RN visit, clinical supplies, physician-reviewed lab work, and post-infusion follow-up guidance. HSA/FSA payments are accepted. Most insurance plans do not cover mobile IV iron unless documented anemia and medical-necessity criteria are met.

Venofer® is iron sucrose, a prescription IV formulation that delivers iron directly into your bloodstream. It bypasses your digestive system. No stomach cramps, no nausea. Most patients experience symptom improvement within 2 to 4 weeks.

Most patients tolerate Venofer® well. Mild side effects can include metallic taste, headache, or slight nausea. Serious allergic reactions are rare but possible, which is why we monitor you closely throughout.

Women with confirmed low ferritin (typically below 30 ng/mL) who are symptomatic, exhaustion, hair loss, brain fog and who either cannot tolerate oral iron or need faster results. You'll need recent CBC and ferritin labs, and our supervising physician reviews every case before approval.

If you book before 11:00 AM, we can often schedule same-day service for an afternoon arrival window. Standard bookings are typically within 24 to 48 hours. You’ll select a 90-minute window that works for your schedule during the school day, between San Jose Unified or Los Gatos-Saratoga drop-off and pickup, or after a 101/880 commute.

Yes, with your OB’s clearance. Postpartum iron deficiency is one of the most common reasons our San Jose patients book. We coordinate with your delivering hospital when needed, and we work from your existing postpartum labs.

Possibly. You can have "normal" hemoglobin but depleted iron stores (low ferritin), which puts you in what's called the gray zone not anemic by standard criteria, but functionally iron-deficient. Bring your recent CBC and ferritin results to your phone consult. Our supervising physician determines eligibility based on your labs and symptoms.

Absolutely. Many San Jose patients schedule infusions during the school day so they can stay home with their younger children. Pets are fine too. The RN just needs a quiet spot, kitchen table, sofa, dining room where she can monitor you safely for 60 to 90 minutes.
