What do customers say?

Every reviewer experienced thoughtful, one-on-one care from doctors who listen and follow up on concerns. Dr Dan, Dr Blanckenberg, and Dr Fred earned particular praise for combining medical knowledge with genuine emotional support, making health decisions feel collaborative rather than clinical.

The facility itself draws consistent comment: the space is beautiful and clean, staff greet visitors by name, and therapies like hyperbaric oxygen, red light, and PEMF are explained clearly before treatment. People return repeatedly, some committing to months of weekly sessions for specific goals like sports recovery or managing chronic conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What therapies can I do in one visit?
Expand Health offers hyperbaric oxygen, red light, PEMF, infrared sauna, ozone sauna, ice plunge, and compression boots. During your consultation, a doctor can help you build a plan matching your health goals.
Do I need to commit to multiple sessions?
No. Some people do single IV or therapy sessions; others commit to a series (such as 8-60 days of hyperbaric oxygen at 4-5 visits per week for sports recovery). Your doctor will advise based on your needs.
What should I expect at my first visit?
You'll meet with one of the functional doctors for a consultation (60 min for initial, 30 min for follow-up). They listen to your health history, explain your options, and recommend a personalised plan. Staff support you through any treatment unfamiliar to you.
