Planning your visit
Appointments are made by phoning the Wound Healing Center. The wound care specialists coordinate each patient's treatment plan with that patient's primary or referring physician, and after a wound has fully healed, follow-up care for it goes back to the patient's own doctor. In a hyperbaric session the patient lies in a purpose-built chamber and is exposed to pure oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure.
