The short answer
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers oxygen in a pressurized chamber, so your blood carries more of it to the tissues. It is used to support wound and tissue healing, recovery, and oxygenation where circulation is limited. At Seth Premier Medical in Tampa, sessions are physician-screened and coordinated within your care plan.
What HBOT is and what it supports
In a hyperbaric chamber the air pressure is raised above normal, so your lungs take in far more oxygen than they could at regular pressure. That oxygen travels through the bloodstream to the tissues, which can help where circulation or oxygen delivery is limited.
The supported uses are practical ones: wound and tissue healing, recovery, and overall tissue oxygenation. We do not present HBOT as a cure-all, and we set realistic expectations before any sessions begin.
What a session is like
You rest in the chamber while the pressure is gradually raised and held, then slowly returned to normal. Most people find it calm and uneventful, and you can usually return to your day afterward.
Because it is physician-screened, we check that it is a reasonable fit for you first rather than booking sessions on request.
How it fits concierge care
For members, HBOT is coordinated alongside the rest of your care by the same physician who knows your history. Labs, imaging, and follow-up stay connected, so nothing happens in isolation, and Dr. Rishi Seth reviews whether it belongs in your plan at all.
