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 something incredible — our bodies are finely tuned to sense fluctuations in oxygen. These oxygen fluctuations can also trigger the body’s rejuvenation processes.
At Aviv Clinics, we’ve put this knowledge to work. It’s a cornerstone of our hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol. The hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox can help unlock your body’s natural potential.
Our Story: A New Era in Health
Aviv Clinics began with a vision to revolutionize how we approach aging, brain health and our health span. Our journey started when a team of forward-thinking medical experts came together, united by a shared belief that we could do more than just extend life — we could enhance its quality.
From Concept to Reality
Over more than a decade of intensive research and development, our team of experts explored the science of aging, brain plasticity, and cellular health. These efforts were made with one goal in mind: to help people live better, more vibrant lives as they age or recover from conditions that impact cognitive and physical function.
Since our founding in 2017, Aviv Clinics has experienced remarkable growth at the forefront of age-related healthcare. We operate state-of-the-art clinics across the world in The Villages, Florida, USA, and Dubai, UAE. Each location brings our innovative treatment closer to those seeking to optimize their brain and body performance.
Pioneered by Dr. Shai Efrati
The Aviv Medical Program is based on nearly two decades of published, peer-reviewed research. It was created by the Aviv team 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, embodied this spirit in developing The Aviv Medical Program. Dr. Efrati and the Aviv Clinics team revolutionized the way we view health and aging.
This journey of discovery has been nothing short of remarkable: Over 200,000 hyperbaric sessions conducted, more than 2,000 clients treated with the Aviv Clinics protocol. The vast majority have emerged with a new lease on life, seeing a marked improvement in their brain and body performance after treatment.
This is the Aviv Clinics difference — where cutting-edge science meets life-changing results.
Medical Leadership Team
Our team is composed of leading experts in medicine, neuroscience, physiology, and aging, all dedicated to pushing the boundaries of health and performance. Together, Dr. Efrati and Dr. Amir Hadanny lead our efforts to redefine health through cutting-edge science and personalized care.
