Company Description

Hyperbaric Medical Solutions (HMS) is a free-standing provider of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with offices in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Manhattan and Long Island NY, and Randolph, MA. HBOT is an established medical modality going through a renaissance, and our innovative medical practice provides this all-natural treatment with applications for a wide range of medical conditions. Traditionally, this includes non-healing wounds, soft tissue radiation damage, failed flaps and skin grafts, and others, but as a free-standing medical clinic, HMS has the opportunity to expand the application of HBOT to help many more.
