Planning your visit
The clinic offers a free consultation by phone to discuss whether oxygen therapy is suitable. Dr. Aguilera tailors each treatment plan to the patient's history and communicates with the patient's other doctors. Each chamber is in a private room. For its supportive surgery program, the clinic says 1–2 sessions may be recommended before surgery and 5 or more after, with the number set case by case in coordination with the patient's medical or surgical provider.
