Started both mine and my three year old daughter's treatment yesterday. The location is beautiful, peaceful, and very clean. The staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. My daughter is autistic and was struggling with the new environment when we arrived. Prior to our appointment, the staff suggested I bring toys, stuffed animals, a tablet, games, or even a dvd to entertain my daughter. Despite what I brought, she was still resistant and clung to me as I climbed in the chamber. So, the caring owner climbed right into the chamber with us for the entire treatment. We played while the owner explained everything that was happening as it was happening. The other owner even played peek-a-boo through the windows with my daughter. After the whole experience yesterday, my daughter looked forward to our appointment this morning, and she even climbed right in all on her own! Because my daughter does better in the mornings, they accommodated us by having morning appointments. This place is wonderful and I look forward to all the health benefits of hyperbarics for both my autistic daughter and me.
Update as of the end of August:
So my daughter and I have completed 43 sessions. In this time, my daughter has stopped grinding her teeth, she started sleeping through the night, and her tantrums have shortened in duration and intensity. Most impressively though, her teachers, our neighbors, our close friends and family, and myself have seen her make huge academic, social, and vocal progress since the beginning of our treatments in the middle of July (now late August).
As for me, my thinking is clearer, I have more energy than I used to, my headaches have been eliminated, and my pain levels have decreased.
Due to our distance, the clinic worked with me to accommodate our limited schedule throughout the treatment plan thus far. The staff also continued to demonstrate patience with my daughter.
I highly recommend this serene clinic. While I could go to two clinics that are within two hours from my house, it is definitely worth it to drive 9 hours to come here because of the customer service, flexibility of the schedule, the insurance billing, and the staff that exude such patience with my special needs daughter. read more
