About Aviv Clinics
At Aviv Clinics, we believe people should be able to feel strong, think sharply, and stay fully engaged at every stage of life. Whether your goal is to age better or you are recovering from a complex medical condition, we want to help you elevate your cognitive and physical performance. In the future we envision, age is just a number and your health challenges do not define who you are. Since 2017, Aviv’s mission has been to transform lives by extending healthspan. This means we not only focus on how long you live, but on how well you live. For some, that means staying active and independent as they grow older. For others, it means rebuilding function after a health challenge has reduced their quality of life. The Aviv Medical Program is the heart of our work. Our clinical team designs a personalized, physician-led treatment plan for each client to support brain and body performance. Backed by nearly two decades of scientific research, every program is tailored to our clients’ unique biology, goals, and health challenges. Aviv Clinics is redefining what it means to thrive at every stage of life. We’re helping people like you unlock their potential so they can live with strength, purpose, and confidence.
The Aviv Medical Program
A Medical Breakthrough
In 2019, the medical world celebrated a breakthrough: The Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to three researchers for their discovery of how living cells detect and respond to changes in oxygen levels. This discovery revealed that our bodies are finely tuned to sense fluctuations in oxygen. These oxygen fluctuations can also trigger the body’s rejuvenation and self-repair processes.
At Aviv Clinics, we’ve put this knowledge to work. It’s a cornerstone of our unique hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol. Known as the hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox, this powerful science can help unlock your body’s natural potential.
Our Story: A New Era in Health Care
Aviv Clinics began with a powerful vision: To revolutionize the way people experience aging and recovery. Our journey started when a team of forward-thinking physicians and researchers came together with a shared belief that extending life was not enough. They also wanted to improve the quality of our lives.
Turning Vision Into Reality
For nearly two decades, our scientific team has conducted and published rigorous scientific research into aging, brain plasticity, and cellular health. They did this with one goal in mind: To help people live fuller, more vibrant lives as they age or recover from chronic health challenges.
Since opening our doors in 2020, Aviv Clinics has grown into a leading center for brain and body performance. Our state-of-the-art clinic in central Florida is accredited by the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS), the world’s leading independent authority in hyperbaric medicine. While thousands of clinics offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) across the country, fewer than 150 have earned this challenging and prestigious level of certification. UHMS accreditation reflects our commitment to patient care, facility safety, and clinical excellence.
Pioneered by Dr. Shai Efrati
The Aviv Medical Program is based on nearly two decades of published, peer-reviewed research. It was created under the scientific leadership of Shai Efrati, MD, Director of the world-leading Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research.
The Science Behind Aviv Clinics
In medicine, true innovation comes from seeing possibilities where others see limitations. Dr. Shai Efrati, a pioneer in hyperbaric medicine, brought this vision to life in developing The Aviv Medical Program. Dr. Efrati and the Aviv Clinics team are reshaping the way the world views health and aging.
The results speak for themselves. More than 200,000 hyperbaric sessions have been conducted, and over 2,000 clients have been treated with the Aviv Clinics protocol. The vast majority have experienced a boost in brain and body performance, gaining a new sense of strength, focus, and vitality.
This is the Aviv Clinics difference: Turning cutting-edge science into life-changing results.
