Kewa Pueblo and Hyperbaric Medical Center of New Mexico to open HBOT Center

Dr. Stoller, who pioneered the field of hyperbaric medicine in Northern

New Mexico, will become the Medical Director of the new hyperbaric facility on

the Kewa Pueblo when it offically opens on October 15th. Dr. Stoller is the

medical director of the Hyperbaric Medical Center in Santa Fe (www.hbotnm.com)

as well as the San Francisco Institute for Hyperbaric Medicine (www.sfhbo.com)

and the Hyperbaric Oxygen Clinic of Sacramento (www.hbot.info).

Kewa Pueblo leaders became aware of the potential of what hyperbaric oxygen

could do for pueblo residents when Dr. Stoller made a presentation at the annual

meeting for the National Foundation for Woman Legislators held last year in New

Mexico. There is great concern at the pueblo about how the large number of

diabetics on the pueblo are treated. New Mexico has the highest per capita

amputation rate for diabetic ulcers. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) prevents

75% of major amputations in this population.

Medicare requires diabetic foot ulcers to already be infected to the bone or

have gangrene before they will reimburse for HBOT, but by then it is often too

late. By taking control of the type of patients they can now treat the Kewa

Pueblo hopes to treat diabetic foot wounds with HBOT well before the point of no

return making amputation inevitable at a great cost to the patient as well as

the family and society.

HBOT is also being recognized for treating Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and PTSD

as well as stroke and other wounds of the brain. With HBOT it matters not where

the wound is, the hyperbaric oxygen will facilitate healing. Leaders of the Kewa

Pueblo are also interested in treating brain injuries and have been getting

calls from Native American Reservations outside of New Mexico who want their

Veterans with TBI/PTSD treated and are prepared to send them to the hyperbaric

facility at the Kewa Pueblo.

Dr. Stoller has treated several Iraqi vets including Andy Chavez (West Point

Grad) and Schei (featured in a Tom Udall campaign ad). He is also treating

several retired NFL players with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, such as Wayne

Hawkins (Oakland Raiders) and Visger (San Francisco).
