Our Services

Our patients are evaluated to determine underlying conditions that might inhibit the natural healing process. Our multidisciplinary providers plan individualized treatments for our patients which maximize healing using proven methods and advanced technologies for wounds that are difficult to heal. Patients also have direct access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy at The Queen’s Medical Center’s Punchbowl campus.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or tube. This therapy is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a hazard of scuba diving. Other conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections, bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that won’t heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury.
