The Mikey Center - For Hyperbaric Oxygen

My Oral Surgeon recommended HBOT Treatments prior and after a lower molar extraction. I visited the business and came to the conclusion that they were 25% of the price of other local options because the business model is beyond efficient. MD runs the day to day operations on her own; and in her free time she does everything else. I am an avid cyclist so I most often rode my bike down Legacy Trail to the 40 - 2 hour sessions I bought. I ride my bicycle with a lot of real-time health measurements on my handlebar: heart rate, wattage, speed and cadence as examples. I could see the benefits not only in real time but subsequently to all of my 35 - 50 mile club rides where I kept running lower heart rates, higher speeds, cadence and wattage week after week. I do not want to overstate this: the data is incremental gains not exponential but the graph is definitely gradual positive line moving up. The other interesting thing to me was I dropped a 3 x 6' section of plastic plywood directly onto my big toe in a graceful and thankfully not you tube recorded fall from my 6' ladder just prior to treatment. That injury healed in a week and the toenail came off pain and blood free. I just finished my 40th session after meeting with my excellent oral surgeon Dr. Kaufmann earlier in the day. He is highly likely to be referring more patients when necessary to this treatment: it seemed to me that his perception of the cost of HBOT was prohibitive for most patients. When I shared our real out-of-pocket expense on this he made it a point to get his staff on-board with this local option and referral. Sorry for the super-long post but this does further my point - my wife's busy non-retired schedule and her notice of the changes over the last 2 months to her husband has her contemplating whether she might free up 2 hours Friday afternoons for the rest of the year in the adjacent HBOT chamber to see if she me enjoy the same experience. Ride ON!

In June 2022, I purchased a hyperbaric oxygen center appointment package from The Mikey Center located in Osprey, Florida. This package was $1,410 and included 20 treatments. I should have thought twice before doing so based on the small office suite that resembled nothing close to a professional medical suite. I began attending treatment sessions twice per week. By the 8th appointment, I had not noticed any improvements to my health; Rather, I had actually started to experience symptoms of a sinus infection. I noticed the oxygen concentrator - a SeQal Integra - looked old, worn, and dusty. A representative from the Oxygen Concentrator Store (an online retailer) informed that the SeQal Integra stopped being manufactured over a decade ago. The age and condition of the unit could explain the sinus infection symptoms I was experiencing. At this point, I requested a refund on the 13 treatments I had not yet attended due to the adverse effects I was experiencing. The owner of The Mikey Center (a woman who would not provide her real name and only goes by "M.D. Stevens") refused to refund as the contract stated there are no refunds issued under any circumstance. According to online business pages, M.D. Stevens filed The Mikey Center as an agricultural (specifically a "hydroseeding") business. The business address listed in filing is not the Osprey suite address but instead an address in Lakewood Ranch. The Mikey Center is not a professional medical center and M.D. Stevens is not a medical professional. I write this to warn others of the deceptive and dangerous practices of The Mikey Center's owner, M.D. Stevens.

I found them on Groupon after doing some research. They're amazing. I'll be back. I had Achilles tendonitis and hyperbaric has helped so much. As an FYI you need to go to 674 and then open the door and you'll see an elevator that takes you to suite 9 on the second floor.

Great location, M D was very helpful and she went above and beyond for us and gave us a great first HBOT experience. I’d highly recommend this facility as she is knowledgable and the benefits of HBOT are long lasting.

My husband Rick used it today & felt great while using it and after. Prior to using it, he felt horrible!
