Feel Better

Get IV therapy and more at this modern urgent care center that's helping Houstonians heal

What if an urgent care center felt more like a spa? One that still provides all the necessary medical expertise and treatment, of course, but also offers wellness options like IV therapy, anti-aging technology, and even an innovative approach to treating depression.

That's what Houstonians can experience at NeuMed Modern Urgent Care + IV Therapy, which is currently found in Spring Branch, The Heights, Washington Avenue, and Galleria, and will debut its fifth H-Town location in Montrose this June.

NeuMed is on a mission to create a healthier community by providing prompt medical treatment and intravenous therapy in a fresh and mindful environment. And like all other urgent care centers, it's open extended hours — including weekends and holidays — and never requires an appointment.

Here's what you can expect when you visit NeuMed Modern Urgent Care + IV Therapy:

Urgent care
The walk-in clinics provide a convenient, fast alternative to emergency rooms — and even primary care providers — by treating minor injuries and illnesses such as strep throat, infections, cold and flu symptoms, allergies, rashes, burns, bites, and more.

Services range from physicals and check-ups to X-Rays and stitches, with so much more in between.

Health insurance is accepted, and NeuMed is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare.

NeuMed Urgent Care is also the place for convenient, affordable sports physicals and sports-related injuries.

Receive quick, expert care for back and neck strain, bursitis and tendonitis, finger or toe dislocations, joint sprains and strains, minor closed fractures, and other sports injuries.

Additionally, you can also get such preventative care as annual well exams, lab testing, and vaccinations.

IV therapy
NeuMed has created 11 doctor-formulated infusions to help you feel on top of your game with private zero-gravity infusion suites.

Choose from Neu-Energy (great for jet lag or just getting through a busy week), Neu-Immunity (helpful for both preventing and fighting illness and infections and speeding up recovery), and Neu-Beauty (hydrates for glowing skin and supports strong growth of hair and nails), among others.

Moms-to-be will love Neu-Mother, which eases morning sickness, reduces uterine irritability, and helps supplement baby's growth and development. Athletes, meanwhile can enhance their performance and replenish protein building blocks with Neu-Athlete.

In a rush? Stop in for a Quick Drip (a half liter of fluids with one vitamin enhancer of your choice) or a Neu-Shot for an instant boost. The most popular Neu-Shots include biotin and vitamins D3 and B12.

For a limited time, first-time IV patients can receive $100 off of their first full drip session — so you’re only out of pocket $79.

There's even an IV therapy happy hour from 12-2 pm Monday through Thursday, where you can enjoy a Quick Drip IV (500cc) with a Free Neu-Enhancer of your choice for only $79.

Other treatments
Those seeking the latest in anti-aging technology will find it here with NAD+ therapy as well as bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including testosterone pellet therapy.

This spring, you'll also be able to receive ketamine infusion therapy to help treat drug-resistant depression.

The details
NeuMed offers competitively priced and value-packed IV therapy and urgent care memberships. It also posts a full pricing list for all urgent care services at competitive prices, so there's never a surprise medical bill.

You'll want to follow NeuMed (neumed_) on Instagram too, as they consistently post high-value specials.

And perhaps best of all: A portion of your proceeds at NeuMed is donated to help reforest Houston. To date, this has helped replant more than 40,000 square feet of land.

NO SPACE TO WASTE

This is how big Houston apartments get for $1,500 a month

cdngeneral.rentcafe.com

Houston renters can find apartments that span 997 square feet for $1,500 a month.

We all know what renters dream about when they’re not thinking about the logistics of owning a home: low rent prices with the perfect amount of space. In a city like Houston, that’s getting harder and harder to come by.

In fact, for renters who have a budget of $1,500 a month, the average apartment size they can get in Houston spans about 997 square feet. That’s according to a new study by apartment rental marketplace RentCafe. The study looked at data from their sister site, Yardi Matrix, to determine the average size and price per square foot for a $1,500 monthly budget in 200 of the largest American cities.

H-Town is just outside the top 10 in a ranking of Texas cities with the most space for the same budget, at No. 11. If you head to neighboring Pasadena, residents get an average of 1,180 square feet of space for the same price.

The worst offender, with the smallest space for the price, is Austin. Austin renters have to make do with an average apartment size of 714 square feet, which is a 283-square-foot difference in comparison to Houston. In Killeen, which is only 70 miles north of Austin, renters can find an average apartment size of 1,095 square feet. The Capital City is at the bottom of the list in the overall analysis of Texas cities; adding to the ever-growing list of reasons to be glad we don't live there.

Renters looking to live in Fort Worth or Dallas will notice a nearly 100 square foot difference between apartments, at 909 and 805 square feet, respectively. Residents can get the most bang for their buck in the suburbs with an average apartment size well into the 900-square-foot range. Mesquite residents, by far, get the most space, at 999 square feet, whereas renters in Garland and Arlington get an average of 937 and 928 square feet for the same budget.

Elsewhere in Texas, apartments in the Rio Grande Valley have the best price per square foot in the state. McAllen residents get the most space out of any other Texas city with an average apartment size of 1,471 square feet. Renters in Brownsville, which is 60 miles east on the border, can get a similarly sized apartment that’s 1,307 square feet for the same $1,500 a month budget.

Here’s how much space you can rent for $1,500 a month in other Texas cities:

Amarillo – 1,318 square feet
El Paso – 1,222 square feet
Lubbock – 1,218 square feet
Corpus Christi – 1,126 square feet
Grand Prairie – 873 square feet
Denton – 868 square feet
Irving – 848 square feet
McKinney – 809 square feet
Plano – 766 square feet
Frisco – 740 square feet
