What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, is a physician-supervised treatment in which you breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The added pressure dissolves far more oxygen into your blood plasma than breathing room air ever could, and that oxygen reaches tissues that struggle to heal when blood flow is limited. The result is a measurable boost to the body’s own repair processes, used for post-surgery recovery, wound healing, concussion and brain injury, and athletic recovery.
At TrufaMED in Surfside, HBOT is delivered under physician supervision at our Joint Commission-accredited clinic, not an unsupervised wellness-center setting. Every patient is examined and cleared by a physician first, and every session is supervised, in the same Joint Commission-accredited facility that houses our on-site digital X-ray, labs, and IV therapy.

How an HBOT session works
From the exam that clears you for therapy to the moment you walk out, here is what to expect at the Surfside suite.
Exam and clearance
Your first visit includes a physical exam and an on-site chest X-ray. Your physician reviews your history and confirms HBOT is safe and appropriate for you.
Settle into the chamber
You change into loose cotton clothing and leave electronics and jewelry outside. You lie comfortably in the soft-shell chamber, free to rest, read, or sleep.
Pressure and pure oxygen
The chamber pressurizes to 1.6 ATA while you breathe 100% pure oxygen. You may feel a mild ear fullness that clears like it does on a plane.
Recover and repeat
A session runs 60 to 90 minutes. Most patients feel relaxed afterward and return to their day right away, following the session count your physician set.
What pressure and pure oxygen actually do
HBOT is a precise physiological intervention, not a wellness trend. Pressure and protocol design are what separate a clinical outcome from a placebo.
Hyperoxygenation
Under pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into your blood plasma. Plasma oxygen can rise to many times its resting level, saturating tissues that red blood cells cannot reach when an area is inflamed or low on blood flow.
New blood vessels
Sustained high oxygen levels signal the body to build new capillary networks, a process called neovascularization. Better local circulation is what carries healing forward long after a session ends.
Less inflammation
Hyperbaric oxygen quiets the inflammatory cascade that drives swelling, bruising, and chronic pain, which is why it pairs so well with surgical recovery and injury rehab.
Stem cell mobilization
Research published in a peer-reviewed journal found that a 20-session HBOT protocol produced an 800% increase in circulating stem cells, the cells the body uses to repair and regenerate tissue.
Sharper recovery for the brain
Greater oxygen perfusion supports the brain’s neuroprotective pathways. It is one reason HBOT is studied for concussion, brain injury, and cognitive recovery.
Better tissue repair
More available oxygen accelerates the body’s natural wound-healing machinery, supporting faster repair after surgery, injury, or intense training. Many patients pair HBOT with IV therapy for recovery.
Why a hard clinical chamber matters
The chamber you sit in determines what your body actually receives. The real clinical difference is physician supervision and Joint Commission accreditation behind every session.

What HBOT supports
HBOT is used across a range of recovery and wellness goals. Explore a dedicated condition page, or ask your physician whether HBOT fits your situation.
Who a full HBOT protocol helps most
These are the patterns our physicians see most often, each with its own protocol rationale.
Surgical patients
Patients before and after elective cosmetic, orthopedic, or reconstructive surgery. A common protocol builds oxygen reserves beforehand, then supports tissue repair and reduces swelling afterward.
Athletes and active adults
Competitive and amateur athletes recovering from injury or heavy training, who want faster tissue repair and less inflammation between sessions.
Slow-healing wounds
Patients with stubborn or diabetic wounds, where added oxygen reaches tissue that limited blood flow has left behind. See wound healing.
Brain injury recovery
People recovering from concussion or other brain injury, exploring HBOT for cognition and neuroprotection under physician guidance. See concussion care.
Long COVID and fatigue
Patients with lingering post-viral symptoms and fatigue who are looking for a structured, physician-supervised recovery approach.
Cosmetic procedure recovery
Patients after aesthetic procedures who want a private, discreet setting and faster resolution of bruising and swelling.
For non-life-threatening recovery and wellness needs. HBOT is not a substitute for emergency care. For a true emergency, call 911.
When HBOT may need to wait
A few conditions can rule out therapy or require treatment first. This is exactly why the required exam and on-site chest X-ray come before your first session.
An untreated collapsed lung, certain lung diseases, and active sinus or ear congestion may prevent therapy until they are addressed. Some medications and recent treatments also need review. Your physician examines you, reviews your history, and gives you a clear answer before any session begins. That medical clearance is built into the $300 first visit, and it is what makes TrufaMED HBOT a clinical treatment rather than a spa add-on.
The physicians overseeing your session
Your HBOT is directed by two board-certified physicians whose combined experience spans general surgery, emergency medicine, trauma, and wound care.
Dr. Gedalia earned his medical degree from Louisiana State University and completed his surgical residency at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York. He serves as Regional Chief Medical Officer for a surgical and wound-care program, experience that shapes how TrufaMED designs HBOT protocols for surgical and wound recovery.
Dr. Naidoo brings extensive adult and pediatric emergency, trauma, and critical-care experience from high-volume emergency departments across the East Coast. His training means HBOT patients are screened and supervised by a physician who has handled the most acute clinical situations.
This physician-first standard is why TrufaMED carries Joint Commission accreditation, held by only eight urgent care centers in the United States. It is the same standard applied to major hospitals, and it governs every HBOT session.
What patients ask first
The questions patients across Miami, Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Surfside ask before their first session.
How much does hyperbaric oxygen therapy cost in Miami?
Your first visit is $300 and includes a full physical exam with an on-site chest X-ray plus your first session. Continuing care sessions are $150 each. Our best-value Wellness Package is $1,000 for the intake plus 10 sessions, which saves over $650 compared with booking sessions individually.
What does a typical HBOT session feel like?
Most patients describe it as deeply relaxing. You lie comfortably in a private pressurized chamber and breathe 100% pure oxygen. As the pressure rises you may feel a mild fullness in your ears, similar to an airplane descent, which clears by swallowing or yawning. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes, and many patients read, rest, or fall asleep.
How many HBOT sessions will I need?
It depends on your goal and condition. Some patients notice benefits after a few visits. Chronic conditions and recovery protocols are usually built around a course of sessions, often around ten, that your physician sets after your exam. Our 10-session Wellness Package is designed for exactly this kind of protocol.
How does HBOT help with post-surgery recovery?
Raising the oxygen level in your blood plasma speeds the body’s natural healing, which can reduce swelling, bruising, and inflammation after a procedure. A common approach is several sessions before surgery to build oxygen reserves, followed by several after to support tissue repair. See our post-surgery recovery page for the full protocol.
Is HBOT safe, and is it safe for seniors?
Yes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is well tolerated by most patients, including older adults. Every patient receives a comprehensive physical exam and medical clearance before the first session, and all therapy is supervised by our physicians at a Joint Commission-accredited facility.
What is the difference between a soft chamber and a hard chamber?
TrufaMED uses a physician-supervised, medical-grade soft-shell hyperbaric chamber at 1.6 ATA on 100% oxygen. A hard-shell chamber reaching 3.0 ATA arrives in late August 2026. Our soft-shell chamber operates at 1.6 ATA and delivers 100% pure oxygen under physician supervision; the hard-shell chamber arriving in late August 2026 reaches up to 3.0 ATA. The soft portable chambers found at many spas operate at much lower pressures with ambient air, which is a different treatment entirely.
Can I bring my phone or wear jewelry in the chamber?
No. For safety, all electronics, jewelry, and flammable items must stay outside the chamber. Wear loose, comfortable cotton clothing, and avoid accessories or garments with metal or sharp zippers. We will guide you through everything before your session.
Are there any reasons I might not be a candidate for HBOT?
A few conditions can rule out therapy or require treatment first, including an untreated collapsed lung (pneumothorax), certain lung diseases, and active sinus or ear congestion. This is exactly why a physical exam with an on-site chest X-ray is required before your first session, so your physician can confirm HBOT is right for you.
Where is TrufaMED’s HBOT center, and who oversees the therapy?
Our hyperbaric suite is at 9445 Harding Ave in Surfside, FL, minutes from Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Sunny Isles. Therapy is overseen by Dr. Uri Gedalia, a board-certified general surgeon, and Dr. Shane Naidoo, board-certified in emergency medicine, at Florida’s only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care.
