Next Health — Local services in New York

I went to Next Health earlier this year because of their stellar reviews and I was interested in learning more about peptides and trying them out.After blood test and waiting for the results for a couple weeks I was scheduled to meet with the Dr to discuss next steps. Some of my results came back a little “out of range “ but she wasn’t really able to give me a reason why that may be. Ok a little weird but I had an appointment scheduled with my PP in a few weeks so I just planned to go over the results with her. I waited another few weeks for the peptides to arrive. Then waited few more days for syringes to arrive. I received 1 vial with the peptide blend and was already in a liquid form. I asked how long they were in a liquid form for since it was supposed “to last 100 days”, but they didn’t know. Unfortunately I waited to do more “homework “ about peptides after I already committed to this place and found out typically u receive in powder form and once you reconstitute with bacteriostatic water they are good in the fridge for about 30 days. So how was mine expected to be good for 100 days and they don’t even know when it was made into a liquid? I had reached out to a few other places that said 1. it was weird my vial didn’t list the concentration of both peptides 2. that I received as a liquid and 3. my dose was so low and would not yield any results . They also said the vial label “looked shady”. I asked about why is dosage so low and they just said that’s what was recommended and don’t increase it. Then all of a sudden -after telling them what other Drs had told me, they said I could increase it. And if that was the case then what they sold me would not actually last for 100 days anyways. Then after a few more weeks they said they will be getting the powder form vs liquid and asked if I was interested in that. Yet they still could never tell me the concentration of the peptide blend they gave me which is bizarre because how were they determining the dosage then? I should have known that’s why they were offering 3 months worth for such a “cheap” price in comparison to the other places I initially looked into . Needless to say I didn’t see any results and was really quite disappointed by the whole experience. It wasn’t until I found a different place that could give me all the details of what I was taking and their vial was clearly labeled with the concentration , I actually started seeing some results..although still in beginning phases. It was more expensive but in the end maybe there’s some truth in you get what...

Yesterday was my first session of Infrared LED Therapy. The experience was a good one, from the minute I walked into the building. FYI Next Health is just one of many emerging beauty / health / wellness brands in "The Parlor," which is a cozy yet sleek, inspiring space to have a cup of coffee or a snack, to zone out, or to work on your laptop before or after your appointment at one of the participating establishments. When I walked into Next Health, I was welcomed (but not overwhelmingly so, which I appreciated :-) by the health assistant Hannah V. I arrived thirty minutes early, so filling out the intake form was a smooth experience. She served me a glass of chilled water and then taught me how to use the infrared bed. I had a lot of questions, of course, since this was my first time using an infrared bed. She was patient and accommodating, and she made sure that I was all set to relax by putting on some complimentary spa music. She also let me know that the bed was on a timer, so I therefore didn't have to worry about staying under the lights too little or too long. I recommend this experience but keep in mind that this is, by no means, a spa treatment like a facial or a body massage. But I myself am an esthetician, so I knew that going into it. Basically, you're lounging on top of a glass bed for a relatively brief period of time (30 min) while the frequency that you've chosen interacts in some way with your body tissues and ultimately brings you closer to some wellness goal (again, depending on the frequency you've chosen). The wellness goal that I had chosen to pursue was "cellular vitality" which assists in skin repair and reduces inflammation. I am already big on facials, so I plan to return to Next Health regularly for LED therapy. I think it will be a good supplement to my monthly facials, the main goal being to maintain the elasticity and the clarity of my skin. The checkout process was smooth, and, despite the ebb and flow of afternoon clients, Hannah was happy to answer all of my follow-up questions. I look forward to...

Update: You should know they offer incentives for 5 star reviews.

I was initially excited about this place, but the experience has become consistently frustrating. The staff are kind, but the operation is incredibly disorganized. Every visit involves long wait times, often 30 to 45 minutes just sitting in a chair waiting for an IV, with no updates or communication. You end up having to ask, which makes you feel like a nuisance, but otherwise you're just left waiting.

Appointments are overbooked, with five people scheduled for IVs at the same time and only one nurse available. I’m always the last to be hooked up and the last to finish, even when I arrive on time. The scheduling makes no sense, and the lack of coordination is exhausting.

Red light therapy is relaxing but not always at NEXT. The other day I went in and the bed was not heated, so I’m freezing for most of the session. I mentioned this to the staff . They shrugged. The red light panel you need to control the bed and decide your frequency is often not even pulled up on the computer, leaving me standing there unclothed while someone scrambles to set it up. It’s sloppy and uncomfortable.

As for the NAD IV treatments, I saw no benefits. No boost in energy, no noticeable improvements in skin or overall health. After doing some research, I learned that NAD molecules are large and may not be effectively absorbed through IV. Experts like Dr. Neil Paulvin suggest that oral NAD+ precursors may be more effective and better tolerated. Others, like Dr. Eric Verdin, argue that IV NAD+ may offer little more than a placebo effect

I ended my membership this week and felt relieved walking out. Spending 2–3 hours per visit for cryo, red light, and IV is unrealistic, especially when the service is so chaotic. I wanted this to work, but the lack of organization and results made it impossible to...
