Since 1993, the Most Experienced out-patient  Hyperbaric Centers with the Most Experienced Physicians.

This page is under construction, awaiting photographs from our many Advisors. However, to start with ...

Many physicians that work in hospital HBOT and Wound Care Departments are inhibited by reimbursement requirements and are unable to treat many of the patients that they know  HBOT would assist in recovery. As this field of medicine grows in the United States, more and more specialist physicians are referring their patients to our Centers for HBOT sessions. Because the list of maladies are so varied, we make 24/7 use of physicians and scientists that have a long acquaintance with HBOT to support the referring physicians and their patients. We are proud to be associated with such an eminent group and our  Center's Medical Directors are be able to draw on their vast experience. The Curriculum Vitae of our Science Advisory Board members are condensed. To view a full version click on the (CV) click-here button appearing in each specialty.

• Scientific,  Technical

        Robert L. Sands
    

   Robert received his education at Newington College, Sydney Australia. Robert is the designer and patent holder of a innovative mobile hyperbaric chamber, the “TRCS”, now in fleet-wide use by the United States Navy, Marine Corp. and Coast Guard. The eight-year research and development phase of this transportable chamber system began in 1982. During this period Robert attended many of the Worlds’ foremost hyperbaric research facilities and worked with the U.S. Navy on a collaboration basis. In 1987, the South Pacific Undersea Medicine Society, (whose membership is usually reserved for physicians and full-time hyperbaric researchers) awarded Robert full membership. Robert has lifetime membership in the International Congress of Hyperbaric Medicine.

     Robert moved from Australia to the U.S. in 1990 and became a U.S. Citizen in 2002. He became closely involved in the treatment of many "investigational" illnesses using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. These ailments included  HIV/AIDS fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, stroke, autism spectrum disorders. His focus is now on  brain damage caused by traumatic concussion -- the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan War.

     Robert’s professional experience not only includes decades of hands-on work in these "investigational" areas of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, he has more than twenty years of clinical experience in patient treatments for the conditions “approved” by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society. Robert has lectured extensively to defense, emergency response groups, specialist physicians and patient groups in Australia, the United States, South America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
