Our
Facility
Centrally located in the
Beverly Hills area, we are a unique facility. Our staff is composed of
experienced hyperbaric physicians and hyperbaric technicians, all of
whom have years of patient care and field experience.
The Beverly Hills Center
for Hyperbaric Medicine is nationally recognized for its expert
clinical care in the area of Hyperbaric Medicine. Many other facilities
follow medical protocols developed here. Although our physicians are
also on the staff at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, The Beverly
Hills Center for Hyperbaric Medicine is the first independent facility
in the Los Angeles area and the only independent hyperbaric treatment
center that is accredited by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical
Society AND the only independent facility to meet hospital based
hyperbaric unit standards. Dr. Ralph Potkin, our Medical Director is
one of the pioneers of the freestanding concept. We are able to provide
the highest quality HBO therapy to our patients while emphasizing
personalized patient care- all this in a private medical office. This
gives you, our patients, ease of access, convenience and above all
complete confidentiality during your treatments. All this is provided
to you at a cost far below most other units.
We are available to
serve you on a flexible schedule -24 hours a day- weekends and holidays
as needed.
