Our program is a physician driven program. What that means that at each scheduled wound care visit you will be evaluated and treated by a physician trained in wound care and hyperbaric medicine. Most patients return to see the doctor weekly.

In-depth physical and history, physician evaluation and multi-team approach to developing a specific plan of care for treatment options and prevention of reoccurrence of your problematic wound.

HBOT uses a special pressure chamber to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood. Oxygen is necessary for life and wound healing. Each treatment last 90 -120 minutes depending on the cause of your non-healing wound.

Not everyone needs HBOT. In fact, less than 10% of our patients require HBO therapy. Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is just one of the tools in our wound care tool bag.
