You Care for Your Patients, We Care for Their Wounds
As a referring physician, podiatrist, or other healthcare professional, you are the most important member of your patient’s wound care management team, which includes physician specialists, certified or specialty-trained wound care nurses, and other wound care experts. Upon referral, your patient meets with our staff for a consultation. Partnering with you, the team develops a treatment plan for your patient. Information about your patient’s progress will be provided to you on an ongoing basis.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) helps the body’s oxygen-dependent, wound-healing mechanisms function more efficiently.

Up to 18 percent of wound care patients may require HPOT treatments provided by the Center’s physicians, who are specialty-trained in hyperbaric medicine, and our highly trained clinical hyperbaric technicians and staff.
Approved indications for HBOT, which are currently reimbursed by Medicare and other insurance providers, include:
