If oral iron hasn't worked or your ferritin remains low, iron infusion may be the right next step. Start with a free 15-minute call with a licensed practitioner to find out whether it's appropriate for you.
Low ferritin rarely happens on its own. These are the situations we see most often:
If any of these sound familiar, an assessment can tell you where you stand — and whether infusion, oral strategies, or further investigation makes sense. It starts with a free call.
Start with a free call. From there, costs depend on what your assessment shows is appropriate for you.
Speak with a licensed practitioner about your symptoms, any bloodwork you have, and what you've already tried. We confirm your bloodwork is recent and complete enough — and help you understand whether further assessment is appropriate.
A full review of your bloodwork, health history, and symptoms. You come away with a clear answer and a plan — whether or not that plan includes infusion.
If iron infusion is the right next step, treatment is provided in our private clinic — and follow-up retesting is available afterward to confirm your response.
If infusion is recommended, your total treatment cost depends on your individualized plan and is confirmed with you before anything is booked. Many extended health plans cover part or all of the cost — we bill most major insurers directly, and we help you check your coverage on your free call before you spend anything.
Iron infusion is provided when clinically appropriate based on your bloodwork and assessment. It is not suitable in every case, and other approaches may be recommended depending on what your assessment shows.

It is sometimes considered when oral supplements have not been effective, when they cause side effects, or when ferritin levels need to be restored more efficiently than supplementation allows.
Whether iron infusion is appropriate depends on your bloodwork, symptoms, and overall clinical picture. Our team reviews your labs and health history together with you so you understand what is going on and what makes sense as a next step.
Ferritin, hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, and your full panel reviewed together. No infusion without a proper clinical picture.
Our practitioners work together to look at underlying contributors — absorption, GI factors, menstrual loss, diet — not just the iron number in isolation.
Your infusion is done in a quiet, private setting — not a shared room. Comfortable seating, calm space, time without being rushed.
For iron infusion treatment, we bill most major extended health insurers directly, so you may not pay out of pocket. We help you check coverage on your call.
Will I know right away if I need an iron infusion?
Not always. The right next step depends on your symptoms, your bloodwork, and your overall clinical picture. For some people iron infusion makes sense. For others, oral iron strategies or further investigation may be more appropriate. The assessment is what determines this.
Do I need a referral or bloodwork first?
No referral is required. Recent bloodwork is important — if you don't have it, we can help guide you on what to obtain before your assessment.
How long does an infusion appointment take?
Appointment length varies from person to person. Most iron infusion appointments run between 30 and 90 minutes including monitoring.
How many infusions might I need?
This varies. Some people require a single infusion; others a short series. Your practitioner will discuss what is recommended based on your ferritin, your history, and your symptoms.
Is this covered by OHIP or insurance?
OHIP does not cover private clinic visits. The assessment fee may be covered by a Health Spending Account (HSA). If infusion is recommended, treatment costs are often covered by extended health plans — we bill most major insurers directly. We can help you check your coverage on your consultation call.
What if I have already tried iron supplements?
That is one of the most common reasons people reach out. We look at why supplementation may not have worked — absorption issues, GI tolerance, ongoing losses — and what options may make sense from there.
