Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.
Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every IV Therapy plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.
Every IV Therapy patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.
Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.
Most first-time patients arrive with the same set of unspoken questions. They are answered below in the order most people think them — from "how much will I need" to "what if I'm pregnant."
IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and selected medications directly into the bloodstream via a peripheral intravenous line. Common formulations include hydration drips, vitamin C, glutathione, and Myers' cocktail variants.
The honest version
Why IV therapy sometimes disappoints.
IV therapy disappoints when wellness claims exceed evidence, when underlying conditions weren't addressed first, or when patients expect dramatic effects.
Most wellness IV therapy delivers what good oral nutrition and adequate hydration would deliver, via the bloodstream. For documented deficiencies and dehydration, IV delivery is genuinely useful. For "general wellness," the evidence is much thinner than marketing suggests.
The other failure mode is using IV therapy as a substitute for diagnosis. Persistent fatigue or feeling unwell warrant workup — not just an IV drip.
At Oshun, we don't run that model. IV Therapy here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.
IV therapy at Oshun is overseen by Dr. Rockhead, who screens for appropriate indication and contraindications at consultation.
Dr. Charles Rockhead, Medical Director — Oshun Cosmetic Services, Kingston.
Medical Director · Board-Certified OB/GYN · 30+ years of practice
Dr. Charles Rockhead is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with more than thirty years of practice in Kingston. He is the Medical Director of Oshun Cosmetic Services and the founding physician of Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice.
An IV Therapy visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.
Before any IV Therapy is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.
Be well-hydrated. Avoid alcohol the day before. Eat a light meal. Disclose all medications, allergies, and conditions.
A trained Oshun clinician places a peripheral IV, confirms placement, and starts the infusion. The patient rests during the 30–60 minute drip. Vital signs checked at start and end.
Resume normal activities. Mild bruising at the IV site is possible. Single-session: no formal follow-up. Series: review at end of course.
Hydration and vitamin effects are immediate for the duration of the infusion. Sustained benefits depend on the indication.
IV Therapy isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.
Patients recovering from GI or febrile illness with dehydration often benefit from a single hydration session.
Documented vitamin deficiencyIV iron or B12 for documented deficiency is one of the evidence-supported indications.
Pre/post athletic eventAthletes use IV hydration around heavy training. Mixed evidence; reasonable for selected patients.
Travel-related dehydrationSingle-session hydration after long-haul travel.

IV therapy has a real role in selected medical indications and a more limited role in general wellness.
