Medical Director
Paul Mattson
Paul Mattson founded Mountain Hyperbarics in Frisco, Colorado in 2007, to help his son with autism and other children with developmental challenges. Paul had an educational background in Biology and Chemistry and was a Certified Scuba Diver. The concepts of how and why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy could help heal a multitude of conditions were quite clear to Paul.
When Paul moved to Durango in 2018, he brought the hyperbaric chamber with him. He worked with the previous owners as a consultant and Hyperbaric Technician. We continue to use that hyperbaric chamber today.
