Start with the situation closest to yours.
Wound care
For wounds that are not closing with standard care, including selected diabetic foot ulcers, when more oxygen to the tissue may help.
Explore wound care
Radiation injury
For soft-tissue or bone injury that appears after radiation therapy. This supports the injured tissue. It is not a cancer treatment.

Plastic surgery recovery
For recovery after selected cosmetic or reconstructive procedures, when swelling or healing is part of the plan you share with your surgeon.

Brain health
For people looking at HBOT alongside a neurologic or cognitive concern. Evidence is not the same for every diagnosis.

Individual Sechrist Chamber Sessions
Each session uses a Sechrist monoplace chamber: one person inside, with staff in the room who can see you through the clear shell and talk with you during treatment.
Care that stays with your own clinicians
We review records from your surgeon, wound clinic, dentist, or oncologist and add HBOT to the care they are already providing.
What happens to oxygen under pressure
Inside the chamber you breathe oxygen while the pressure around you is higher than the room you walked in from. More oxygen dissolves into the blood, including the plasma, and can reach tissue that ordinary circulation is not supplying well.
- Clinicians use that effect for selected problems in which poor oxygen supply is part of the injury—certain chronic wounds, compromised grafts and flaps, and delayed radiation injury—after a medical review.
- The same rise in oxygen does not make HBOT a treatment for every diagnosis. Your history, medicines, and the condition itself decide whether a course is appropriate.
- If treatment goes ahead, the team sets the pressure, the length of each visit, and how many sessions to plan, then adjusts that plan as you respond.
Inside Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session
You are treated in a Sechrist 3600 monoplace chamber at our Brooklyn clinic: one person in the chamber, with the hyperbaric team in the room.
Sechrist 3600 monoplace chambers
One patient is treated in a single chamber. The session is focused on you, and the hyperbaric team monitors it from the room.
Clear acrylic shell
You can see the treatment room and the staff. Many people find that easier than a fully enclosed metal chamber.
A technician stays with you
You can talk with your hyperbaric technician during the session, including if you want the pressure brought down.
Room to shift and rest
You do not have to lie perfectly still. You can change position, rest, or watch a screen when one is available—ask the team what is offered when you schedule.
Before you enter
Staff review your health history, explain how pressure changes feel, and show you how to clear your ears comfortably.
Inside the chamber
You breathe oxygen while pressure increases and holds at the level ordered for your plan. A technician remains nearby and can talk with you throughout.
After the session
Pressure is lowered gradually. The team checks how you feel before you leave and discusses the next steps in your plan.
Meet the Team Behind Your Care
Physicians and nurse practitioners review whether HBOT fits your diagnosis, stay in touch with the clinicians already caring for you, and oversee the course if treatment goes ahead.

Understand Your HBOT Costs and Insurance Options
Tell us about your diagnosis and we will talk through the cost of a course, paying directly, and whether your plan may cover hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Request a ConsultationPlans we can review with you
Coverage depends on the plan, the diagnosis, and authorization.
- Call or send a consultation request to discuss self-pay and how billing usually works.
- If you want to use insurance, share your member information early so staff can explain authorization and the records your plan may require.
- Bring the name of the clinician managing the condition. That documentation is often what an insurer asks to see.

Common questions about HBOT
A clinician reviews your diagnosis, medications, and recent imaging or wound records, then recommends HBOT when the potential benefit outweighs the risks for your situation.
Many hyperbaric visits last on the order of 90 minutes, including time to pressurize and depressurize the chamber. Your order may differ. The clinic confirms the schedule for your plan.
Courses vary widely—from a few sessions to several weeks of daily treatment—based on the condition being treated and how you respond. Your clinician sets the plan and adjusts it as needed.
Cost depends on the treatment plan and whether your insurer authorizes HBOT for your diagnosis. Contact the clinic with your insurance details so staff can explain verification steps and self-pay options.
Ear barotrauma from pressure change, temporary vision changes, and fatigue are among the effects discussed in hyperbaric medicine. Some lung conditions, untreated pneumothorax, certain medications, and other factors can make HBOT unsafe. Screening happens before treatment.
A staff member contacts you at the phone number or email you provided to discuss a consultation, treatment options, and cost or insurance. The form does not reserve a time until that person confirms the date with you.
