Describe your business.

Reviv uses intravenous hydration and nutrient therapy to promote health maintenance, combining decades of scientific research in Western medicine with an Eastern philosophy of balance. Our signature therapies replenish the elements of life and flush out undesired metabolites for optimal living.

Reviv was founded by four board-certified emergency physicians with a combined 40 years of clinical experience.

Who are your customers?

Our business practices mandate that services only be offered to adults 21 years or older, and everyone electing to have IV therapy must undergo a comprehensive medical screening and exam performed by a certified medical professional to determine eligibility.

Athletes, celebrities, weekend warriors and business and medical professionals are a small subset of people who have tried and endorse our services.

Reviv offers five IV treatments and four nutrient booster injections. Our customers can receive treatments in our wellness spas or as concierge service in the privacy and comfort of their own setting.

What is your business philosophy?

We believe in treating our clients as we would want to be treated ourselves. Our staff members employ a teamwork mentality to ensure that we motivate and hold each other accountable to the highest safety and professional standards.

Our patients are our clients, which is why we equally prioritize customer satisfaction.

What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?

Every business opportunity has its unique set of challenges. This makes it particularly inspiring when working in a global environment. Operating out of 50 locations in 17 countries, this can become quite daunting. Nonetheless, we try to approach every hurdle as an opportunity to learn and to set the standard.

Las Vegas is a one-of-a-kind experience. In the capital of entertainment, the most crucial task is to stay focused on our business values and not be distracted by the nonstop energy.

What is the best part about doing business here?

Nowhere in the world will you encounter this magnitude of vitality. Sometimes you just have to step back and admire this man-made oasis in the middle of the desert. It’s inspiring, because Las Vegas is the best example of human ingenuity and perseverance, and serves as a beacon of hope for every pioneer.

What obstacles has your business overcome?

Public awareness and education. Even though our services have been utilized by people in the field for decades and administered in a clinical setting for half a century, commercializing the experience was particularly complicated. Not only were we met with pushback and skepticism initially from the medical community, but also the public. However, I believe these are the same universal challenges in any breakthrough offering. Just look at the new composite airplanes and electric vehicles; they are both great examples of ingenuity with a steep learning curve.
