Dr. Searfus is a family physician who has practiced in Durango, CO since 2006 after working for a decade in academic family medicine at the University of California, San Diego.  When she joined Mountain View Family HealthCare in 2012, she became part of the growing Direct Primary Care (DPC) movement where the ongoing focus is on the physician-patient partnership for achieving optimal health and well being.

Dr. Searfus has been the Medical Director for Mountain Hyperbarics since it officially reopened in August of 2018.  She performs the medical intakes, determines appropriateness for treatment and prescribes the optimal HBOT protocol to treat the patient’s specific condition, working in close collaboration with Mountain Hyperbarics.

Paul Mattson

Founder - In Memoriam

Paul Mattson founded Mountain Hyperbarics in Frisco, Colorado in 2007 to help his son with issues associated with autism and went on to utilize HBOT to successfully treat an array of other medical conditions. Paul's background in Biology and Chemistry and scuba diving made it clear how and why HBOT could be of benefit.

Paul brought the hyperbaric chamber with him when he moved to Durango in 2018.  He worked as a consultant and Hyperbaric technician while transitioning ownership of the company so that members of the Durango community could access this valuable medical treatment.
