We appreciate the decision to pursue hyperbaric oxygen therapy is sometimes a difficult one, especially considering the significant time and financial investment at stake. Please talk with Dr. Jen about whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is in your best interest. If it is not, we can recommend other practitioners we collaborate with in the Boise/Meridian area.
- Discuss whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy may benefit you with Dr. Jen by (1) discussing your health/wellness concerns, (2) receiving basic information about our services, (3) answering any questions you may have.
- This step can be skipped if you are familiar with hyperbaric oxygen and have no questions.
- Call, text, email our office or schedule a prescription appointment with our Medical Director, Dr. Ali. All patients are required to be medically cleared for hyperbaric oxygen. Dr. Ali’s examination will include special attention to your cardiac and pulmonary function, basic physical exam and vital signs. The cost of your prescription appointment will be applied to any hyperbaric oxygen session package.
- A lot of patients like to take pre-measures of inflammation, cardiovascular or brain function, or markers relevant to autoimmune status at this time.
- For patients unfamiliar with hyperbarics, we encourage trying one session before purchasing a package of sessions. Why? Very rarely, patients discover they are not able to clear their ear or learn they are claustrophobic. Although these incidents are rare, we offer numerous solutions including teaching ear-clearing and anxiety-relief techniques, supplements that promote relaxation, and in severe cases, prescription medications.
Most patients purchase 40-80 hyperbaric oxygen sessions at a time and perform once to twice daily treatments, depending on their health and wellness goals. Any kind of wound healing, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and extended pain relief oftentimes requires this more intensive protocol. Patients also tend to refer back to Dr. Ali’s treatment plan to purchase supplements and other adjunctive therapies that work synergistically with hyperbarics.
It is critical that you reserve time for your sessions as the schedule books up quickly and consistency of treatment is highly predictive of patient success. Patients who purchase packages are strongly encouraged to schedule all of their sessions at the time of purchase. At this point, please let us know if there are any doctors you want to receive updates on your progress; we will send them every 2 weeks.

Schedule another complementary information session with Dr. Jen every 2 weeks to check in about your progress. Dr. Jen will review your health goals and progress and find ways to maintain or further optimize your protocol. Please also remember to draw your post-treatment labs: wait a minimum of 2-4 weeks before drawing labs to determine the extent hyperbarics affected your physiology.
We want to know how you are doing post-treatment. Please always feel free to contact us; we love nothing more than hearing success stories. Of course, we also follow up with all of our patients 1 month post-treatment and every 6-months to 1-year.
