See What Our Clients Have to Say About the Island Drip & Med Spa Experience
These experiences highlight not just the quality of our treatments, but our commitment to making each visit memorable.
“My experience at Island Drip Spa was amazing! I have teeny tiny veins as it is, and I was dehydrated on top of it. Most people have to stick me multiple times and leave a terrible bruise. Megan was able to get me on the first try with minimal pain, and I didn’t bruise at all! She made me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed talking to her while I received my IV treatment. I felt so much better within just a few hours. I will absolutely be back!”
—Megan Westerdahl
“This place is fabulous! Classy, elegant and professional. Galveston really needed a place like this! I highly recommend visiting them and picking out ANY of their treatments."

Meet Alex Ramos, CRNA
LEADING EXCELLENCE IN AESTHETIC & WELLNESS CARE
As the founder of Island Drip & Med Spa in Galveston, TX, Alex Ramos, CRNA has combined his extensive medical expertise with a passion for helping others improve their health and physical appearance.
The advanced skills he’s developed as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist working alongside some of the most experienced cardiologists, cosmetic surgeons, and ER doctors are what set him and Island Drip & Med Spa apart in the aesthetics and wellness space.
Alex always knew there was a need for advanced, safe, and effective wellness and aesthetics services delivered with integrity and the highest level of care. The result is a unique approach that strives for perfection in the service and personalized attention you receive.
From the Operating Room to the Medical Spa
His rigorous training at Case Western Reserve University gave Alex a deep understanding of the human body and the nuances of patient care. But his work in Level 1 trauma centers, Pediatric trauma and burn units, and cardiovascular units was a whole other education unto itself.
Not only does he prioritize patient safety and the precise application of treatments, he understands the psychological impact they can have on a patient’s confidence and wellbeing. And he takes the time to explain every procedure so you know what to expect and how to achieve fantastic results that last.
Alex saw the glaring gap in both medicine and aesthetics. Patients often encountered a cold and uninviting environment that failed to comfort their fears and worries before undergoing a procedure. And many of the aesthetics and wellness services he observed seem too transactional—focusing more on the benefits to the business rather than the client.
He knew people needed (and wanted) a space where they could expect clinical excellence with compassionate care while feeling heard and knowing they were in good hands.
Alex’s mission was to create a space that serves as a sanctuary. A place where clients can be cared for as valued members of the Galveston and surrounding communities.
At Island Drip & Med Spa, you can expect to receive honest and expert guidance at every step of your journey toward looking, feeling, and living your best.
