WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE US?

From a quality approach, the Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center is a pioneer in the use of neurological applications. The results of Dr. Neubauer's scientific studies through the Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center have been published in a variety of respected medical journals, including:

• The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

• American Family Physician

• Stroke

• Lancet

• The Journal of Clinical Medicine

• Journal of Hyperbaric Medicine

• Journal of Neurosurgery

• Physician & Sports Medicine

The reason many of our clients choose us to deliver HBOT to them or their loved ones is based on our level of knowledge, research, and expertise that our doctor has demonstrated for almost 30 years.

Chambers
The chambers used by the Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center are Seachrist horizontal and original Vickers Clamshell chambers.  Many people wonder why the Vickers chambers are used in our facility.  These chambers are noted to have excellent recompression mechanisms.  Using these chambers to treat our patients, we have had the lowest incidents of ear problems of any center in the country.  Certain centers insist upon ear tubes (myringotomies) before treatments of children to avoid such ear problems.  Of the last 300 children we have treated, this has been necessary in our facility only once.  The Vickers Clamshell chamber offers a sit-up position for both parent and child and is adapted for parent and child bonding during treatments. 

Physician-supervised HBOT treatments
Unlike many new HBOT facilities, which are operated only by technicians, all therapy at the Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center is delivered under the direct supervision of our founder Dr. Richard A. Neubauer, one of the most respected physicians in the field. Utilizing a handpicked team of HBOT technicians, Dr. Neubauer and the Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center provide patients and families the confidence that only specially trained experts can provide, in a comfortable, family-oriented setting.

At the Ocean Hyperbaric Neurologic Center, the physician is always available. At certain centers, however, this is not possible, as they are operated by technicians and therapists.

While HBOT is safe and effective when administered under the close supervision of trained physicians, this is not the case when - as in the case of some modern clinics - it is dispensed by technicians alone. A myriad of technical and medical factors must be considered when designing an HBOT treatment program - factors that only specially trained, experienced physicians are versed in addressing. While there are no regulations or laws preventing physician-less clinics from dispensing HBOT, the OHNC and other respected organizations are working to prevent this.

Reasonable cost
Other facilities charge up to $2,250 per hour for physician-supervised HBOT. In contrast, the OHNC charges only $200 per hour, and each of our patients enjoys the individual environment afforded by our individual (monoplace) HBOT chambers.

Convenient location
The OHNC is located in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, just north of Fort Lauderdale. We are conveniently accessible through either of the three airports serving the South Florida area: Miami International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, and Palm Beach International.
