At HBOT Clinics we see our patients for who they are, people.  We realize that each one of our patients is unique, with their own story and circumstance.  Our staff respects that uniqueness and treats our patients with compassion and professionalism.  We’ve asked some of our patients to share their stories with you and their experience with HBOT Clinics.

I had first heard about hyperbaric oxygen treatments from a friend living in the United States. He had told me that his doctor had mentioned to him the positive effects on diabetics, as well as increased healing of wounds and infections in most patients.

I have been diabetic since the age of two and I’m now twenty-seven years old. Due to the long term diabetes, I suffer from nerve damage in most parts of my body. Another problem I have that doctors are starting to associate with long term male diabetics is a form of bone disease, which has led to many broken bones and surgeries.

I had gone in to see my family doctor with problems of wounds that would not heal and continuously re-infect on my feet and legs. I had asked for a referral to the HBOT clinic in Calgary after doing some simple online research. Soon after, I had gotten a phone call from the clinic inviting me in for an evaluation.

I had completed a 40 day treatment and was greatly impressed with the outcome. My wounds had quickly healed among other positive effects. My eyes have cleared up since. I feel more energetic through the day and I sleep better during the night. Some of my scars from previous surgeries have disappeared as well.

The doctors and staff were absolutely amazing! Everyone was very friendly and understanding. They were willing to suite my needs and aid me with any concerns that I had throughout the treatment. I would personally recommend hyperbaric oxygen treatment to anyone who needs aid with healing any nagging health issues that you may have.

I am a 69 year old who, in 1988, was diagnosed with Stage IIIB squamous cell cancer of the cervix that metastasized into the pelvic bones .

Treatment consisted of 26 sessions of external radiation directed through the pelvic area.
This was later followed by internal radiation therapy, whereby three rods were inserted; one into the cervix and one into each pelvic area.  Radiation pellets where then circulated into the rods for 42 continuous hours.  Two weeks later, this procedure was repeated for another 42 hours.

Needless to say,  post-radiation side effects were to be expected.  This did happen some 21 years later in January  2009 in the form of severe bladder bleeding.  The bleeding was stopped by cauterization. Subsequent therapy was prescribed to heal the bladder tissue.

The Urology Team of Doctors prescribed 30 sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. The treatments ran five days a week with weeks off, commencing on February 3, 2009 and ending on March 16, 2009. 

I am delighted to report that the therapy was very successful.  As of this date I am still completely healed.

I consider the Rocky View Hospital Urology Team, the Team of Doctors and Staff at HBOT Clincs, and  the Oncology Team at the Tom Baker Cancer Center  to be “God’s gift to the world”.  Please accept my profound “Thank You” for being here for us.
