The staff here is phenomenal! They are totally focused on your well being and security. The minute you enter the facility you are a welcomed guest and treated like family. For those who have not experienced Hyperbaric treatments before, you are in excellent hands. AHR personnel are all truly professional and paramedic certified. They hand hundreds of DVD movies to keep you entertained while you are undergoing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. So the time passes quickly. Quality & Care are their forte! I highly recommend AHR if you need Hyperbaric Therapy. I've already completed 20 treatments, and have another 20 after my Oral Surgery. AHR is a place you can trust that will really make a difference in your health! read more

Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery - Advanced Hyperbaric Therapy- San Rafael CA - Medical Centers Near Me - San Rafael, California

I have many health issues related to Service-Connected chemical exposure to Dioxins-A/O from the 1960's. I wondered why Pro Athletes and non Pro like Michael Jackson and Lance Armstrong were using HBOT to recover from injury and fatigue. I asked my GP to provide a 5-session trial protocol with HR of M to see if I could see any improvement. After 3 treatments, I began to feel my extremities, my mind clearing and a positive outlook on my long-term situation. I realized that HR of M is not a hospital facility (much less expensive though) but is run as if as it was one with all the safety procedures and best equipment (watch out for the unlicensed and then the fake "bag" providers without pressure!). It is important to know that they use 100% pure oxygen, while others use "compressed" oxygen with possible contaminants. The staff is outstanding! They even have their own Medical staff to professionally manage your progress (most Physicians are unfamiliar with HBOT, so they don't recommend it or know how to follow-up). They actually train nurses to help physicians understand the wound healing properties of HBOT. Their care, instruction and follow-up assured me that I was receiving the best care possible. They put me through a patented procedure called "Cutting Edge?" that recorded irregular brain eye focus and they could track improvement for my GP, Specialists and myself. Insurance pays for many disease states, others may be paid if you can track improvement with "Cutting Edge?" or other proof sources. If your life is worth it, pay out of pocket, if you have to. They have a plan for those that can't afford it (especially children) called H.O.P.E. for Healing Foundation. They treat brain injury/accident victims and other disease states based on ability to pay (treated over 1,000). This is a great place to be treated! read more

HBOT: Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Update For Coronavirus post-viral syndrome: Mine was a combination of EBV, Shingles, Chronic Fatigue and Neuro-inflammation. Many of you have asked me if the HBOT therapy has been helping with my cognitive dysfunction and extreme exhaustion from having coronavirus. The answer is YES. So far I've been in the tank for 50 hours and have another 40 hours to go. It takes commitment and calm. It took a month of 1 hour sessions plus 20 minutes to depth and 20 minutes to surface -- 5 days a week -- to knock down the Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. ADEM is inflammation of the spinal cord and meninges tissue of the brain that affects thinking and the nervous system. These big tanks can go down hundreds of feet below sea level. They pump in pure oxygen and your carbon dioxide is pushed out. You breathe deeply while watching a movie through a porthole. The oxygen saturates your system, increasing overall healing. I was about 1.75 atmospheres deep at first. My brain came back on line 3 /12 weeks in. But I still suffered from deep exhaustion. I've been either in my bed or on the couch on my deck for five months. I got coronavirus mid-March. So did Tim. We recovered in 3 weeks. But then I relapsed. The first round was flu, diarrhea, fever, overall malaise, smell distortion, lack of appetite, dizziness, chest pain. The second round I in late-April, all I could smell was gasoline and I got the same GI issues, fever, and then a lot of shortness of breath, loss of pulse oxygen and intense dizziness. I couldn't walk up stairs. I could barely stand. There were a few times where I thought, wow, I'm getting worse. What if I die? It has taken months to recover from that. I never went to the hospital but I do have a doctor that comes to my house. Sitting in the sunshine and Vitamin D shots were the one thing that actually made me feel better. I got really, really tired. Not sleepy. Deeply exhausted. It was like I had mono. And I did. The coronavirus lowered my immunity and the herpes viruses in my body all exploded. I got a herpes breakout on my lower back so bad there were a few days I couldn't sit up. I got a resurgence of Epstein Barr (also known as mono). And I got shingles, very painful, on my back. All at the same time I was short of breath and completely dizzy and exhausted. I built my health up. But I just couldn't shake the tiredness. And my brain was fried. I couldn't spell simple words. I forgot stuff left and right. I couldn't write. I could't talk to people. I couldn't follow what they were saying. I was confused. At this point my doctors said that I had the inflammation and the chronic fatigue and agreed with me that HBOT might be a good way to get back to health. I began at Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy of Marin. https://hyperbaricoxygentherapy.com/ Under the care of Dr. Chan. She figures out the dosing... the depth and time. I'd done well in the past using HBOT to recover from a traumatic brain injury I sustained in Russia in 2018. At this point we've put a good dent in the brain inflammation. I'm also taking CBD and 3 g of Turmeric a day for the inflammation. Now we are working on my energy. Dr. Chan is sending me deeper -- almost 100' below sea level and leaving me down for 110 minutes. This depth and time is what works best on virus clearing and mitochondrial regeneration. Some days I can do a few things, but often it will crash me on my butt just to change the sheets and clean the kitchen. In three more weeks I am hoping to have much more stamina. I had a solid day all day today. Yesterday I went up and down feeling good and feeling bad. You never know if you're going to be crashed or ok. But I am generally heading upward toward health. I'm hoping to be able to get up and take a short walk soon. My attitude is increasingly positive. Hyperbaric works in steps. First you saturate the tissue with oxygen. That heals damage. Then your body releases stem cells. The stem cells allow you to go beyond damage repair to angiogenesis... New tissue growth that can improve your health to better than before you got sick. HBOT is great for MS, Chronic Fatigue, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Lyme... you can see what it's good for and what's FDA approved at the link on their website. I'm feeling very hopeful that I can put coronavirus and it's downstream effects behind me. I just want to end with a deep gratitude for my whole team at The 20 and PLM who are running the business without me. To my friend and neighbor Ethan Wiley who drives me to and from every day and his girlfriend Jane Scott who takes me when E is on a video shoot. To the impeccable team at Advanced Hyperbaric of San Rafael, California. They are so clean, careful and kind. To all my friends who are keeping tabs on me, sending me love and holding me in their heart. And to my darling husband who feeds and nurtures me without any gaslighting or pressure. read more

Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery - The HBOT Chamber - Medical Centers Near Me - San Rafael, California

I have tried so many different health modalities (and so much money, time, and effort) to address my severe autoimmune issues. HBOT was the thing that finally made the difference! It was very effective in reducing my inflammation relatively quickly. I wish I had tried HBOT first before everything else. The chambers may appear daunting at first, but within minutes of being in one, I relaxed and enjoyed my experience fully. Jeanne and all the technicians are gentle, positive, uplifting, and they recommend great movies to watch during the sessions. I highly recommend Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery! read more

Staff was so compassionate. I am horribly claustrophobic and they were so kind and supportive that I was able to complete a treatment. Lovely staff read more

I am blown away with the friendly and professional staff at Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery of Marin. I always felt safe and taken care of which is important during these times. The staff were all very kind and followed covid protocols perfectly and kept the facility spotless. I forgot my mask a few times and they provided me with one without judgment. I was very nervous because I was at high risk of osteoradionecrosis, a very serious condition that can be fatal. They put my mind at ease with their calming reassurance and education. They explained the science and even printed out a pamphlet with links to scientific studies for me to look at the day before I got 3 teeth extracted. This helped me feel confident going into surgery that I had been dreading for nearly 10 years. I know that it was a combination of Dr. Jacqueline Chan and the staff and the therapy itself that prevented the serious condition that I would have developed if I had not had been prescribed the 30 dives. I am so grateful for their kindness. Highly recommended!! read more

As an RN, I was blessed to be able to train at Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery in San Rafael, CA. I can say first hand that they have the highest standards when it comes to safety, quality of patient care and patient follow up. There wasn't a day that they weren't on top of infection control and the use of PPE. Their equipment and gas systems are new and state of the art, their processes and attention to detail and triple check systems really put my mind at ease. I will definitely refer my patients to Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery! read more

After leaving each of my hyperbaric sessions for my knee replacement, I felt as if I had been in a healing spa surrounded by angels. Each of your hearts are connected with the other.

I did several sessions here and was very pleased with the service, cleanliness, attentiveness, orientation to safety, and care. Plus they have a good selection of videos to watch while you are in the chamber. If you need hyperbaric oxygen treatment, this is a good place to get it. read more

I have known Janine Thill, the program director, and her staff since about mid-2011. Working with her twice a week, I had an opportunity to see her and her staff in operation from a sort-of insider's point of view. I've been around when things are going fine and when there are stressors present. The general vibe is quiet, professional, pleasant, competent, clean, organized, and top-level. From an equipment point of view, everything is top-of-the-line. There are three large steel hyperbaric tanks with plenty of glass windows to prevent feelings of claustrophobia or confinement. One of the tanks is either the biggest in Northern California or as big as any other. During treatments, you can watch DVDs, listen to music, or take a nap. It's all very unremarkable in that there is no drama to the process. The results, however, can be dramatic. There are photos of gnarly-looking wounds that have been healed and amputations prevented. There are numerous thank-you letters to view. I'm a stickler for many things, and I appreciate the extremely pure filtered water in glass glasses, the you-wouldn't-know-it cork flooring, and the strict adherence to and exceeding of all regulations.The facility is so well-run and professional that there are negotiations under way to treat the athletes of an elite professional sports organization for injury healing. Janine has a big heart. Although the facility charges no more than about 20% of a hospital's fees and isn't rich, she has established the Hope for Healing Foundation, which donates treatments to indigents. Having read about and seen the effects of high-pressure pure oxygen on the body, I continue to be highly impressed by new realizations. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can bring improvement to a wide range of conditions, including the normal problems of aging in healthy individuals. Alzheimer's prevention, anyone? One of the younger clients told me he had regained the sight in one eye, his balance, and his health.I was surprised to learn that there was a chiropractor in the same building when they were at Larkspur Landing who is advertising his HBOT but uses a collapsible tank. Those are only approved for altitude sickness, like on mountains. They cannot withstand the same internal pressures as the steel tanks. He doesn't use pure oxygen, and the effects of such treatments can be worse than doing nothing. He seems to be accelerating oxidation, which causes rust and degradation, as opposed to oxygenation, which is healing down to the bone and into the brain. He's upstairs, contrary to regulations which require HBOT facilities to be on the ground floor for safety. He doesn't seem to be the greatest guy I've heard about. I've referred several of my clients to Janine's facility for treatment of non-joining fractures, symptoms of diabetes, concussion, and more. This technology is riding a cresting wave of awareness of its ubiquitous usefulness and Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery is in the forefront. Robert says "Check it out". read more

Everyone at this facility are very polite and friendly. Hyperbaric Therapy is surprisingly pleasant. 100% O2 give you a clear head fast. The staff is conscientious and accommodating. The environment is clean an COVID prepared. Can't say enough about the 2 mellow hours of playlist, movies or just meditation. read more

Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery provides treatment from cutting edge research in a nurturing and dynamic environment. In a time in my life when I felt weak and vulnerable the staff showed the utmost kindness and professionalism. From the front office to the technicians they are warm, kind, and genuine advocates for health. I could not speak more highly of Dr. Chan and the way she leads her team. She listens to her patients and has insight into traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery far beyond her peers. I would not have the mobility, clarity, energy, and quality of life I now have if it wasn't for Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery. I was in a car accident that caused a traumatic brain injury/hemorrhagic strokes in my brain. I am a living testament that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy WORKS for stroke. If you are questioning trying this treatment I encourage you to please invest in your health. At the time of my accident my daughter was 3 and I was motivated to do anything to walk and run with her. After 40 treatments I am now able to run and play with her. I am still recovering but I know I would not be where I am today without Hyperbaric Oxygen. I fully recommend Adavanced Hyperbaric Recovery and encourage anyone with a TBI to take the leap and change your life. read more

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy completely changed my life. After being in and out of various doctors appointments and even trips to the ER for all kinds of symptoms, I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease and 2 potentially fatal co-infections at 16. I was put on heavy-duty antibiotics which, as expected, made me feel worse and worse. After about a year of various antibiotics, I thought I would never be myself again. I mostly gave up hope as time went by and I was expected to be normal again although I really wasn't, but at the suggestion of a family member I decided to give hyperbarics a try. I was prescribed a set of 30 continuous 90 minute treatments at a certain depth. I went through ups and downs through treatment (herx reations which were expected and explained to me) but after I completed my set I was normal again! I quickly found out that it wasn't just me, but Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy was an amazing super-healer for many others. It's crazy to me that this isn't a bigger deal, or that more people don't know about this because it's truly a life saver. While there I saw so many other people (adults and children) having great results as well for things like Autism, Stroke, Infections, etc. As for the center, the staff is so friendly and goes above and beyond what you would expect. You can tell that they truly care about you and this is not just some business or job for them, it is their life and they live to help others. They are very "green" or eco-friendly which is important to me because it takes some extra effort, but again, shows they care about what is around them. They are also extremely professional and knowledgeable. There is no question too small and there is no doubt that they know what they are doing. This is not just some kind of crazy alternative medicine, it is scientifically proven and amazing! It is prescribed by doctors with specific, personalized, treatment plans. The chambers are hard chambers that can be pressurized to the right depths to be medically effective, not the soft zip-up kind that really can't do what they need to. (I've done my research!) The place is extremely clean, has the lowest prices that I could find, and is located in a wonderful, upscale area in Marin, everyone is wonderful there, and it could change your life so don't give up hope, try it! read more

I have been taking my friend there daily for HBOT treatments. She has advanced stage Lyme Disease. Each day she completes her treatments, she comes out looking better, thinking clearer. I won't go into details about her issues, but, you need to know the staff there is the best anyone could ever hope for. Every single person on the staff there is SUPER wonderful. Customer/Patient service is their specialty. It is like having a team of good friends on staff. read more

Beautiful facility! Love the staff, and I was made to feel very comfortable. Thank you so much!

Dr. Chan and her team are wonderful! The staff is very informative and the chambers are all comfortable. The atmosphere is professional yet relaxing. Highly recommend! read more

This facility has the most amazing staff very cheerful and well educated. The facility and chambers are very well taken care of, very clean. I went into the chamber after I had my wisdom tooth removed, it helped with the pain and swelling. I had a prescription for three treatments but, had enough with just one session. After my treatment I definitely felt a difference in my face, the cheeks were not as swollen and and my pain was gone. I would defitnitely recommand this facility to everyone. They have alot of information that can help you out. For more information on the treatments and how they have changed lifes you can visit their web site at www. HyperbaricOxygenTherapy.com =). read more

I am physician with an autoimmune syndrome who developed a fungal bone infection that usually only occurs in people with severe immune suppression. I was treated with multiple different oral and Intravenous anti-fungal medications for more than 8 months total, had 3 surgical bone debridements and nothing worked (and I had a pulmonary embolus as a complication of one of the infections). Then my Infectious Disease physician ordered Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments at Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery. This stubborn infection completely resolved after 2 rounds of 40 session treatments, and I have been 100% problem free since. The staff at Advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen is absolutely superb: educated, professional, supportive, and friendly. I was so discouraged when I first walked in that door. I knew if this treatment didn't work, the next drug in line was "Ampho-terrible", known for its irreversible toxicities.I can't help but feel that it wasn't just the high concentrations of oxygen that were treating me, but the caring, healing touch I received.

I am a caregiver for a patient who goes to this facility for hyperbaric treatments and I have heard nothing but good things. I have been inside and around the staff. They are friendly, caring, honest people. They are attentive and know what they are doing. The place is always clean and inviting. The woman I am a caregiver for has loved her experience and has felt constant support from the staff. She always walk out with a smile on her face and a positive spirit. Her outlook has been forever changed because she knows she's getting the best help on her road to recovery! read more

I am a 84 year old male being treated for osteoradionecrosis. My Kaiser Doctor referred me to AHR for a series of hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions ( the medical profession calls the sessions "dives") in conjunction with massive doses of a powerful antibiotic. My sessions at AHR have truly been outstanding. The place is spotlessly clean and the entire staff is highly professional, friendly and accommodating to your needs and personal requests. Each chamber is very comfortable and commodious for a fellow who is 6'4" in height and I never had any after or side effects following each session. I unequivocally highly recommend this facility for anyone requiring hyperbaric oxygen treatments. This clinic and its entire staff are really great! read more

I had an ischemic stroke about a year and a half ago which affected the whole right half of my body, and I've been going to Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery for about 30 treatments or two months. Also, because of my stroke, I had two seizures about a year ago leaving me postictal. I wish I knew about this then! I can't praise them enough for how professional and knowledgeable all their staff members are. On top of that, the staff is kind and welcoming. They are very thorough in the way that each day, before and after I go into the chamber, I take a short survey on what my physical and mental symptoms are. For my own personal physical results, I had reduced spasticity and I re-learned how to wink with just my right eye! Mentally, I have noticed, an increase of brain clarity and reduced depression and fatigue. I feel mentally sharpened each time I come out; similar to before my stroke. Also, their chambers are immaculate! I truthfully have nothing negative to say about my experience, and now I know where to go in the future. Advanced hyperbaric recovery is the way to go for all-natural, long-term healing! Also, it is the most effective treatment I've had yet. read more

I am deeply grateful to Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery of Marin for helping my child to get his health back. My son was extremely sick with Lyme disease and multiple co-infections. Different antibiotics were used for a period of several years and gave us little success. We consulted with physicians at Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery of Marin. Everyone we spoke with in the Center was very professional and knowledgeable. I am so thankful to the founder, Janine Thill, for her sincere desire to help desperate patients. Without her precious input in our situation and the consultations with the Center's professionals, we might have never started the therapy. We did 40 sessions during the first round. My son was experiencing continuous Herxheimer reactions during and even after the HBOT. We started seeing positive changes a month after the last session. We noticed improvements in mood, communication and concentration. After these improvements, we decided to do more HBOT sessions. My son's progress continued, and we noticed further improvements. It's wonderful to see that HBOT works even after the sessions are over - my son still continues to improve. We are extremely grateful to Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery of Marin for all they did for us: for their encouragement, for all the help, and for the deep understanding and knowledge of the art of HBOT. I highly recommend this wonderful center! read more
