CAREFULL!!! JOEL is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR: He took 100s of dollar's and provided no services, against agreement. UPDATE: he just contacted me with threats to suit because of this review of, indisputable facts. -- I ASKED JOEL TO REFUND the money for no service provided in full. -- OTHERS have left similar reviews of getting no full services after payment. I will update this review accordingly. read more

joel is a scammer beware! he did not refund me my full payment. i payed him $300 and was given no services. please refund my money in full. stop stealing & taking advantage of women! read more

Joel stole several hundred dollars of my money and disappeared without providing the service that I paid for. In September of 2022 I bought a package of 10 hyperbaric oxygen sessions, and I came in 3 times that month. In December of that year I tried to schedule another session, but he told me he was in the process of relocating to another building and that he would be available very soon. I told him this was okay and I would just wait until he finished setting up. Fast forward to March of this year, I had a motorcycle accident and a viral sickness at the same time and I needed to get in for more HBO sessions to help my body heal in time for my wedding in May. I have tried contacting Joel many many times through both call and text and he has completely ghosted me. He owes me 7 oxygen sessions that I paid for, and he has taken my money and ran away. Shame on you Joel, for stealing my money and leaving me hanging at a time when I needed your services the most. read more

First time trying hyperbaric oxygen therapy, especially being inside of the chamber - not claustrophobic , but I don't think most people wanna lie in a chamber if they had the choice. But, I heard great things about O2 Up and the benefits of oxygen therapy so I gave it a try and am happy I did. The team at O2 therapy are amazing at making sure you understand the process and are comfortable the entire process. Can't wait to go back for more sessions. read more

I came here because I'm recovering from Long Covid (an autoimmune condition affecting my brain as a result of Covid). From the first session I noticed a strong effect (as I hoped since hyperbaric is known for helping recover from brain injuries). I also noticed an effect in faster recovery time from workouts etc. Hyperbaric is never "cheap", but the prices here are affordable, and run from 2-3x cheaper than the bigger guys. Additionally, Joel at O2 is the nicest guy, he even ordered me an Acai bowl when they were running a bit late on one session. They make me feel great about supporting small business. read more

When you first walk in. Its such a relax atmosphere. I was greeted from Bryan. Who is knowledgeable and very friendly. I was very stress because the doctor said I might need surgery. So I gave hydrobaric a try. After my sessions. I no longer feel pain. I will be coming back in the future. read more

I found this place looking for treatment options for a friend with TBI. They were welcoming and helpful and even willing to speak with our doctor. There are 2 chambers and you should be ready to book a packet. Studies show you need multiple sessions to see improvements so the packet makes Ameche. It's also very affordable compared to other treatments of this type. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. read more

O2 Up - Just chilling in the chamber. This place is very chill and they make the experience comfortable and enjoyable. - Undersea/Hyperbaric Medicine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love Brian and can't wait to go back to him! He is so calm and sweet and kind. I'm going to him for post surgical hyperbaric treatment. He makes it so much easier and his prices are unbeatable. I highly recommend you use him over anyone else!! He has different tanks to suite your needs. One was soft that I climbed into before treatment. He has a larger one to accommodate anyone that has a harder time moving around. He is introducing me to other things to help me heal more. He is so thoughtful that I only will see him moving forward. read more

Bryan is incredibly knowledgable and extremely friendly. I was searching for a good oxygen therapy location after a friend had recommended it. I was looking for a trusted location, and O2 UP had 5 stars, so I knew it would be a reliable place even though it was a little but out of the way ~about 15-20 miles. As soon as we let Bryan know where we lived, he gave us a great recommendation of a place he trusts that is in Woodland Hills. It shows that he is really not just trying to get your money and has great intentions to recommend a different practice for our convenience. We were new to this therapy and Bryan gave us a detailed explanation and seemed very relaxed and patient. If you are closer to this area I would definitely suggest giving O2 UP a try. read more

My husband had a cardiac Arrest and in the rn had some brain injury. We came here just for the hyperbaric chamber for that but Bryan helped us with so many parts of his recovery. Love this place! read more

A special thank you for Bryan at O2 UP! I moved back to LA in October 2016 and immediately my Lyme disease came out of remission after 3 years. I had severe welts all over my face and body. These painful welts last months, in addition to brain fog, edema, joint pain, and the list goes on. A doctor told me to try hyperbaric oxygen treatments after nothing else worked. I started to research places in LA that offer these treatments. 4 places that I called simply asked if I can commit to paying $150/session for 5 days a week, in addition to seeing their doctor's they would set me up with; it all seemed like a scheme to me. All I wanted was to find a place where I can do these treatments and get better. I came across O2UP and decided to give it a last shot before giving up on starting hyperbaric treatments all together. Bryan answered the phone and I explained my situation to him. I was hopeless and miserable and JUST WANTED MY SYMPTOMS TO GO AWAY! I was blown away by how genuine this man is. He is so caring and so professional. He told me that he was booked solid and would not be able to fit me in for a while. He recommended some other places that would be able to fit me in immediately. I told him that his prices were lower than the other locations and that I could only afford paying the cost of his treatments. I said I would wait until he has an opening, however long that would be. Bryan said he would call me in 2 weeks and give me an update. in the meantime, he gave me some referrals for things to do that would help my situation. He called me the exact day he said he would and added me to his schedule two weeks after that. Since starting treatments with O2UP, my symptoms have reduced greatly and I am able to function like a normal human again. I truly recommend O2UP for anyone. Healthy or sick, and hour in the hyperbaric chamber will make you feel AMAZING! Bryan, thank you again for everything! You are truly a lifesaver! read more

This is by far one of the best treatments for increasing mental and physical performance. The experience is relaxing, easy, and safe. Bryan (the owner) and his assistant Rachel make sure you're comfortable throughout the session. I had some discomfort with the concept initially and Bryan was great in talking me through and going slowly. After completing 20 sessions I liked doing mHBOT so much I ended up getting my own unit. Highly recommended! read more

I always feel like the stress melts away in the chamber. The personnel could not be any more professional and helpful. Highly recommend.

Here's the deal folks...Oxygen therapy works. You don't have to figure it out, it makes sense that the body needs oxygen not just to function optimally, but especially when you need to heal. I personally tried this therapy many years ago. I didn't have a great experience...then I met Bryon. He's professional, knowledgable and basically hand-held me through my session. I felt amazing! I had a lung infection last year and just by cleaning up my diet and doing oxygen therapy, the infection cleared in less than a week - no antibiotics! I would say, hands down, if you want to experience this healing modality, go to Bryon at O2UP only. You'll leave educated and feeling like you have control over your choices around good health. I can't wait to go back in for another treatment. read more

My son found Joel when he was looking for oxygen therapy treatments in a Hyperbaric Chamber. I was in a very weakened state due to too many antibiotics prescribe by my GP. Joel was so kind and caring explained the procedure and made me feel at ease. He additionally had me do PEMF to help prepare me for the Oxygen therapy. I am so grateful for his explanations and making me feel totally at ease. The place is very well kept and everyone is so nice. I highly recommend him and thank him for his dedication to his work. Thank- you so much Joel!! read more

Right off, I would like to give O2 Up at least 10 stars... I'm going to list why: 1. Bryan & Joel are two of the most genuinely caring, knowledgeable and excellent people you could ever wish to have help you on your HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) adventure. I went in there apprehensive and did one session only. Soon after, I bought a series. Not just because they are so nice and made the experience so comfortable, but because O2 therapy WORKS! 2. I first went into O2 Up on a walker, about two weeks after being released from the hospital post emergency cervical spine surgery. I couldn't walk, and I had pretty severe peripheral neuropathy-(tingling & numb fingers, legs & feet.) I was terrified I might have permanent damage due to an infection. 17 sessions later (20 sessions are the therapeutic minimum for my issues) I can walk, I have no infection in my body, neuropathy is much much better & my skin now glows rosy pink... trust me when I tell you I was gaunt & grey after 4 weeks in the hospital. 3. The FDA currently only recognizes about 10 conditions HBOT works for, but in Europe & especially Israel, HBOT is used for 100's of conditions with excellent results. You can find tons of compelling studies & data online. 4. Whether you are dealing with brain injury, slow-healing wounds or bones, Lyme disease, or just acne, HBOT can help. I intend go on doing HBOT for the rest of my life, no matter how healthy I've become - It has so many health & well-being benefits. O2 Up is an absolutely wonderful place. Also-Do not miss their PEMF table to add to your healing experience. HAPPY BREATHING!! Thank you Bryan & Joel! read more

I found this place with a lifebooker deal online a few months ago and havent looked back. I ended up buying a package and go every week. Brian is awesome! The nicest person, so caring, thoughtful and informative. First introduced to Hyperbaric Chambers when I had a face accident 5yrs ago, I did a series of sessions and the results were amazing, I have no clear visible scarring, it healed so neatly, the bruising went away in no time as did the swelling. I fell in love with the Hyperbaric after that. But at such a high price tag it wasn't affordable to go often, so I didn't. Finding 02 Up was awesome! Brian makes it affordable and now I go just for all over health and vitality. I know its doing more for me than I could possibly notice or imagine. read more

I had a GREAT experience with a session. I would go all the time if I had the opportunity and means. My wife purchased a session for me as a birthday present. I have a challenging job and deal with tons of negative people. I carry some of that negative energy home. I wanted support with releasing my anxiety, fear, and depression. I'll be forever grateful to my wife for this Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy session. It gave me the release I needed. It also enhanced my concentration, my inner peace, and I had an INCREDIBLE meditation while in the chamber. Bryan is a genuine person and he's helping lots of people heal. I was not disappointed with anything I experienced, even though I had no clue as to what to expect. The facility is clean and the customer service I received was bar none the best! VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! read more

A beautiful facility with surprisingly convenient street parking given that it's on Venice Blvd. I haven't used the many other services offered at the clinic but their spaces appear quite nice. I've used Bryan Johnson's hyperbaric chamber a few times with great results. The first time was for treatment for a neck injury. Felt great enough to compete at a jiujitsu tournament later that week. Now I routinely go there as pre-tournament preparation. I find that it helps with my cardio and in-between-rounds recovery. Plus, it's nice to take a sweet sweet 1 hour long nap in the middle of the day! Check it out, I think you'll like it! read more

I have been coming to 02 UP since August for a total of 13 treatments so far. I have been using the treatment in addition to changing my diet as part of a healing protocol for autoimmune disease. Before the treatments I had so much joint pain, that I could barely walk, use my hands, or even dress myself on most days. The pain was indescribable and on top of that as a dancer, I could not work or do what I loved. After the first 10 treatments which I completed in two weeks, my pain was dramatically reduced. I could jog and work out. I was slowly able to start training in modern again and have been steadily getting better enough to start ballet. After the last 3 treatments my pain is *almost gone*!!!! I am overjoyed to be able to dance again. On top of the actual hyperbaric oxygen treatments, Bryan is such a sweet person. Bryan really cares and makes sure you are comfortable and relaxed during your time in the tube. Thank you Bryan! read more

Bryan is the best!! I've been suffering chronic Lyme disease for over 3 years now and nothing has been able to help me until I found Bryan and O2 UP! I had to quit my job and completely stop my triathlon training a few months ago, but after all my sessions here I am finally working and training again, even better and stronger than before. Bryan is very patient and caring and truly wants to see all his patients heal and will do whatever he can to make that happen. Highly recommend seeing him and thank you again for everything Bryan! read more

My first experience using the hyperbaric chamber couldn't have been better. Brian was very informative about the process and what to expect. I felt very comfortable in the facility and would recommend the service if you are near them. A little too much of a drive for me but definitely an A+ experience. Customer service is excellent. read more

My words can't even express the amount of gratitude I have for O2 Up and Bryan and Joel's love and support during my healing process. They both have gone above and beyond and truly are examples of people helping people and exceptional service. I'd recommend O2 Up to anyone and everyone. read more

I suffered a concussion (mild TBI) and my docs said it should pass in 10 days. I didn't expect the dizziness, brain fog, and headaches to last for months. After 3 months, I was frustrated and started googling recovery options, and discovered 02 Up in Venice. I read about a teenager who blogged about his amazing recovery there. At that point, I was ready to try anything. After a few sessions, my recovery accelerated and symptoms improved. I could think more clearly, I had more energy, and I started feeling like "myself." There's a reason athletes use these chambers for recovery. Bryan is a genuinely nice human being and guides you through the process. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that I could use my phone in the chamber. read more

My experience today has me feeling that I got lucky because I knew nothing about hyperbaric oxygen treatment before and I probably should have. I had a TBI in 2008 and not one medical professional has ever mentioned this therapy to me. I am prone to forget things but this is such a new and unique experience that I believe I would have recalled at least something related to it. Bryan is the authority/owner and cares. Caring goes a LONG way. I'm so excited to continue my therapy there. While I have only gone once I do not believe that this is a premature review at all. I will update after several more visits. Stay tuned. read more

My friend who races motorcycles recommended hyperbaric therapy after I broke my two ankles because that's what a lot of the MotoGP guys do to recover from injuries. Having never tried it, I opted for the location closest to my home with the best Yelp reviews. I was skeptical but willing to try anything to speed up my recovery as I couldn't handle the idea of being in a wheel chair for 6 to 8 weeks. In the two weeks following my accident, I had roughly 20 hours in the chamber and the bruising and inflammation were nearly gone. After 16 days, I went back to my doctor for additional X-rays to confirm I was on track and he was amazed with how well I was healing. So much so, that he revised my time in the wheel chair down from 6 - 8 weeks to 4 - 5 weeks and that's coming from an incredibly cautious doctor. It's now been almost three weeks and I feel only the slightest bit of tenderness on my ankles at the fracture points. Oh, and, as a bonus, the chamber makes your skin look awesome. read more

I found O2 Up as I wanted to continue my holistic treatments for cancer. Both the location and the staff are empowering. I always feel a genuine sense of concern from Bryan and his staff, and I viscerally feel the benefits of hyperbaric treatments. So grateful! read more

I first tried oxygen therapy after a surgery.. I was told it was good for swelling/bruising and healing. Its all true. Brian, the owner is the sweetest/kindest person. He makes you feel comfortable and makes the experience, awkward at first once you get used to it really pleasurable. The results are immediate especial if you keep it up.. You can buy a series which is a better deal and gets you to go bc the more you go the better results you will have. O2 Up is the best.. read more

I first started going to O2 UP when I was doing some pretty intense training for mountain climbing. I needed to speed up workout recovery in order to reach my goals. Man, it does that and so much more! I have since gone for fast surgery recovery, relaxation, and detox. Whenever I go consistently, I notice such a difference, especially in athletic performance. I always leave with a feeling of deep rejuvenation and a clear mind. Brian is also one of the nicest people too. He's very well informed and attentive, making sure you're at ease with the whole experience. The chambers are very comfortable and he keeps them clean as can be. read more

I'm a German physician who stopped by to try a session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy because I heard a lot about its benefits recently. It was a really enjoyable experience. Bryan was incredibly friendly an competent. After the session I felt energized the whole day. read more

I was looking for a way to reduce swelling and speed up wound healing after a recent surgery. I was feeling lethargic from being unable to exercise for six weeks and no matter how much arnica I used I was still very swollen. After two sessions the discoloration i had from bruising was 80% less and the swelling was also greatly reduced. I felt so much energy after the sessions as if I were simultaneously relaxed and given a cup of coffee! I can't wait to do my remaining 4 sessions and would recommend this place and bryan if you feel a hyperbaric session may help you in some way. read more

I came back for a stomach ulcer and I can't express how much hyperbarics has helped me. I had the ulcer for 5 weeks before I had my session with Bryan. I couldn't drive, it was hard to eat, and I was constantly nauseous with intense stomach acid pain. I tried anti acids, aloe vera, slippery elm, marshmallow root, and even mastic gum. Nothing worked well. But after my first session, I noticed a difference right away the next day. I felt somewhat normal again! I did a total of 7 sessions and I now feel back to normal and can eat normally without getting nauseous. I had little hope but after my session in the chamber, I felt a huge block and weight lifted off of me. I'm constantly amazed at how effective hyperbaric heals so many conditions. Everyone needs to do sessions!!! read more

I have some circulation issues in my leg, and especially in my right foot. After doing a bunch of research, I decided to give mild hyperbaric treatment a try. I found O2 Up and met with Bryan, and did 6 or so sessions about 8 months ago. I definitely felt better and had improvement in my foot. I stopped going because I got very busy. Recently, about two months ago or so, I started seeing Bryan again and doing 1 hour sessions. I think tomorrow will be my 11th session. My foot has improved and I always feel more energized after a session. The sessions are not cheap, but, they are effective. Everything in our body needs oxygen, and lying in a pressure chamber is a great way to get more oxygen into the cells. Bryan uses a large chamber, so I'm not claustrophobic while I'm inside (which was a major concern of mine). What I have also noticed is that it is always clean air inside - never foul odors from previous users! I take my iPhone in, put on music, and relax. If you have any kind of health issues at all, I highly recommend you give mild hyperbaric a try. Oh, and Bryan? Great guy! Larry read more

I sought HBOT therapy after my son's ADHD symptoms began getting worse as he entered puberty, and we got a SPECT exam that showed his brain was underactive. I wanted to find a way to heal the brain, rather than just temporarily medicate it with a stimulant. We had tried medication twice in the past and it made him too hyper and I just didn't think it was in his best interest to keep on trying different drugs. I had to find a bio-medical doctor, because his UCLA doctors had no alternatives for me. I found a top bio-medical doctor who immediately recommended HBOT and a no gluten, no dairy and minimum sugar diet, as well as some amino acids (Taurine and GABA). We were told to do a minimum of 40 continuous sessions. Within 5 session we began seeing a calmer kid. We are now ending the 40 sessions and I cannot express my gratitude at having found this incredible alternative therapy and specifically at this facility with Bryan Johnson. My child is not only calmer, more focused, less impulsive, more in control of his emotions, relaxed, and in general has a 1000% better disposition, he is happier and, for the first time in a long time, interested in school and wants to do well. For us, this is a miracle. If you have ANY brain condition, I would HIGHLY recommend that you look into this phenomenal underused and highly effective therapy. I would also tell you that this particular center knows exactly what to do and how to do it best. Over at O2 UP they have a real interest in helping people heal and they know many other highly effective alternative therapies. You couldn't be in better hands. read more

O2 Up, housed in the truly Healing Oasis of a storefront by the same name, is a wonderful place to receive oxygen therapy from its proprietor Bryan, who is a caring, open-hearted man. Highly recommended. read more

This place is wonderful! The offices are very lovely and calming to walk through. Bryan is excellent at what he does. He took the time to answer all questions before my first session and the many that I had after as well. I went in for brain fog and fatigue following multiple concussions and I left each session feeling clearer and more energized. I also have hip issues and during one session I could actually feel what I would describe as an "unwinding" in my hip. I have been pain free for months now! I wish I knew more people to recommend this to! read more

Bryan is a very conscientious practitioner. I've been to a few hyperbaric treatments at a few places elsewhere, and felt Bryan not only knew well the pros and cons of this treatment, but he also dealt with me as an individual. Best experience I've had with it. read more

I found o2 Up through a living social special and have continued to come for o2 treatment as I feel so many positive changes going on as a result of the hyperbaric chamber and o2 therapy....I had a pretty bad injury to a finger when I started and the injury has healed completely without infection or other problems. I have found myself entering into better deep sleep patterns and I am presently hoping to make changes in a pattern of brain damage dating back to age 3 or 4 when I contracted a mild case of meningitis. Bryan works with his clients patiently and monitors us closely to be certain that we are obtaining the maximum benefit from the treatment. I look forward to posting more positive personal changes in the future. read more

Oxygen therapy was recommended to me after I had a serious surgery, trauma to my neck and brain, and I had difficulty healing. I was plagued with pain from before the surgery and after, and sought healing through several different kinds of therapy, but it wasn't until I came into O2Up and began treatments with Bryan that my recovery really started to take hold. I can now say the pain is less than I have ever had and I no longer feel like my body is the same broken one it used to be. I feel like I am growing a new body through this therapy. I am forever grateful for the service Bryan offers and he is truly a healing practitioner and has also helped me delve deeper into my meditation practice. I am deeply grateful for o2UP! I highly recommend O2UP also because it is the most affordable hyperbaric oxygen therapy that I have seen in L.A. I LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

I went for my first treatment earlier in the week. It's a nice atmosphere and Bryan is very knowledgable and not pushy which is a plus. He was friendly and warm which made me more comfortable with him zipping me up in a chamber. As far as the treatment, didn't feel a thing while it was going on, it was completely painless. I had a persistent cough for over 2 months and after the first treatment is gone. I recommend this place. It's inexpensive compared to others and actually worked for me. read more
