Planning your visit

Most treatment plans involve at least 20 sessions; a typical outpatient schedule is once-daily sessions Monday through Friday, with each session lasting about two hours. Non-emergent patients need a primary-care physician referral letter before an appointment is scheduled. Patients wear provided clothing and follow chamber safety rules, such as no hair gels, make-up or jewelry. Call 310-794-1031 to request an appointment.
