About Westwood IV Therapy

​
What sets IV treatment apart is its direct administration into the bloodstream, offering quicker results than oral medication. Regarded by many physicians as a rejuvenating and safe solution, IV vitamin therapy can be finely tuned to meet the specific health requirements of each patient.

Kristen Dooher, RN, BSN
Hi, I'm Kristen, the Owner of Westwood IV Therapy! I've worked as a traveling nurse at small hospitals and, for the past decade, as an ER nurse at a large Boston hospital. I'm a local mom of two active and adorable boys and have been a nurse since 2004.Â
Â
As a nurse, I know how precious life is. But when Covid hit, I had an even more heightened awareness of how tenuous life is as well. As hospitals became overwhelmed, I was spending more and more time away from my family. And I realized that my own life needed to change. With unwavering support from my husband, Joe, and from Dr. Chak Reddy, I have opened Westwood IV therapy, and am charting a new course in proactive nursing and wellness.
Â
The combination of Eastern and Western medicine has done wonders for my own health over the years. When the mind, body, and soul are nurtured, we thrive. The hydration therapies offered at Westwood IV help to keep our bodies in top form. I hope you will try one of our therapies as the beginning of your own journey towards total health and wellness.

Beth Ann Mee, RN, BSN
Hi, I’m Beth! I started my nursing career after I graduated with my Bachelors in Science Degree from Regis College in 2008. I found a passion in EMS and critical care medicine and decided to blend the two and currently work as a critical care flight nurse in the Boston area.
Throughout the years of caring for sick patients, I have tried to focus on ways to improve my mind, body, and soul. IV hydration became an interest when I realized there was a way to improve overall health and wellness with safe, effective treatments in a comfortable and relaxing setting.
In addition to the love I have taking care of patients, I am a wife and a mom to two young boys, a cat, and a turtle. I also enjoy running, my peloton, reading and spending time in my garden.
Jenny Persechini, RN, BSN
Hi! I'm Jenny, and I have been a Registered Nurse for 12 years. I am a Certified Pediatric Nurse and have mainly worked with children of all ages up to young adults in the pediatric inpatient unit at Mass General Hospital for Children. During Covid, I also cared for adults when our floor was changed to an adult Covid floor to help accommodate all the sick patients requiring hospital care.
Staying healthy, spending time with my family, and helping others as a Nurse is what drives me. I heard of Westwood IV Therapy when my husband played in a golf tournament, and Westwood IV was there doing vitamin infusions. He came home to tell me about it, and I was eager to learn more. I realized that as a Nurse, there was a way to help improve patients' overall health and wellness safely with IV hydration in the comfort of their homes, and I knew I needed to join this team of wonderful Nurses.
I have a wonderful husband, three beautiful little children, and a large dog. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I also love working out and running. I look forward to helping you feel your best!


Caitlyn Teresi, NP
Hi everyone! I'm Caitlyn. I am a certified family nurse practitioner who believes in a holistic approach to treating patients. With over eight years of experience in various healthcare settings, including working with patients in physical rehabilitation and surgical trauma ICU, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills. Over the last three years, I have worked in family practice, pediatrics, and an infusion clinic. I am committed to providing high-quality care that addresses not just the physical but my patients' emotional and mental well-being.
I'm thrilled to start my journey with Westwood IV and make patients' lives easier by providing care in the comfort of their own homes!
Michael Gittleson, RN, BSN
Hi! My name is Michael, although many friends and family call me by my middle name, Sven. I have been a nurse for 14 years, and before that, I served in the Air Force for 5 years with two tours to Iraq. There, I helped combat trauma patients and pursued my career goal of working as a flight nurse. I have worked in various settings, including ER and ICU, and have been with Boston Medflight as a critical care flight nurse for 7 years.
​
When I’m not at work, I can be found around the city or suburbs with my 10-year-old Siberian husky, Connie. We love the parks and hiking trails. I also love sports, anything competitive, trivia, and nature. I am the “bird man” to many.
​
I was drawn to Westwood IV to expand my nursing practice in a different avenue after learning about its mission for hydrating and providing people with a chance for overall wellness and energy rejuvenation. In this already unhealthy and busy world, I wanted to do my part to help others achieve wellness.


Kimberly Schubert, RN, BSN
Hi! I’m Kim, a registered nurse with 9 years of experience. Most of my career has been based in Boston across a variety of specialties, and I’ve also worked as a travel nurse in large teaching hospitals in California, Washington, Colorado, and Maine. Travel nursing has helped me become highly adaptable and has significantly expanded my clinical skill set.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, and exploring new restaurants. I’m always up for an adventure and still love to travel whenever I can!
I’ve always had a strong interest in staying active and in holistic care. When a family member became ill, I dove deeper into the world of wellness and alternative therapies. That’s when I discovered Westwood IV, and after a trusted coworker recommended it, I knew it was the right fit. IV hydration offers a unique way to support patient wellness and achieve health goals in a relaxing and convenient setting.
I’m excited to help you feel your best in the comfort of your own home!
