In Sanskrit, an ancient South Asian language, Vayu means “air” and “life.” Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a specialty of Vayu Advanced Wound Clinic, increases oxygen consumption in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. This treatment has countless benefits for healing and can treat many chronic wounds like diabetic ulcers, defective grafts, defective flaps, radiation injuries, and many more.
To evaluate the depth and severity of wounds, Dr. Badam offers skin biopsies and deep tissue DNA culture testing. These tests help her design an individualized treatment plan for ulcers and other skin complications based on patients’ needs. For deep or large wounds, Dr. Badam carefully performs surgical debridement.
Dr. Badam treats peripheral artery disease, and chronic venous insufficiency, along with the complications they often cause, including ulcers and tissue infections. Vayu Advanced Wound Clinic and Hyperbaric also specialize in diabetic foot wound care, including debridement, total contact casting, and negative pressure wound therapy for diabetic ulcers.
Vayu Advanced Wound Clinic is recognized by the community for excellent patient experiences and quality of care. Dr. Badam consistently makes care more accessible to her patients by offering cost-effective care, and unmatched technology even in extended hours, and Saturday hours.

My experience at Vayu, I didn't know anything. It went pretty smooth, My pain was very bad in the beginning, My tendon in the ankle was exposed, I was scared of losing my leg just like the other side. Staff is great, Dr.Badam is extra ordinary. My veteran friends talk about Vayu helping them as well. I love the chambers and I love the staff. Today I am very happy that my wounds are healed and no need for amputations. Thank you Vayu for everything. I would highly recommend Vayu for limb salvage.
Everything here at Vayu is great and awesome, great vibes. This is the place you walk in and feel good. Making appts were easy. Dr.Badam is awesome. Chambers are great and I cannot believe how they healed my wounds. I was so scared that I would lose the toe and 4 weeks later. I am almost healed. I more bandaids. Every one is great. Thank you Dr.Badam
Thank you Dr.Badam. HBOT is one the most excellent treatments for foot ulcers. When I first came to Vayu, I was scared and intimidating but once I started treatments, I felt very comfortable & highly satisfied with the treatments & the accomplishments of the treatments. I would highly recommend Dr.Badan's office to anyone who are going through similar situation. Staff is amazing and they treat patients with respect & empathy. Now I am healed and am so ecstatic.
I can’t say enough about Vayu Wound & Hyperbarics. I came in with a significant wound that I thought would take forever to heal. Dr. Badam and the entire staff at Vayu were amazing! Definitely recommend them for your wound care and hyperbaric needs. You won’t be disappointed with the results.
When I first came in, I was nervous about being put in the chamber, but the staff was very, very kind and helped me not to be afraid. Every visit was awesome. The wound that I had closed a little every visit and today it is completely closed. The wounds that I had on my incisions on my waist are also healed. Jackie was the first person that I spoke with, and she was very kind, Veronica,Fais, and Dr. Badam where ever so loving kind and gentle. Thank you Vayu for this wonderful gift of healing.
The doctor,and staff were warm, efficient and caring. I had been to three doctird for my wound and none of the other doctors had dressed my wound, and all prescribed antibotics, with no effect. The hyperbaric chamber was was effective and I saw a difference within 4 sessions. I highly recommend Vayu Wound Care.
Dr. Badam and staff are wonderful, caring, and have tons of great ideas! I would not go anywhere else for wound care and hyperbarics. Update: Aug 12! When I first came to Dr. Badam I had 3 wounds and one was so bad that the doctor before Dr. Badam had scraped off the bone to try to work on healing, but when I started with Dr. Badam she did graphs she did hyperbarics and she had so many great ideas. She kept trying new things and doing I think what they call healing confusion and like muscle confusion but for the wound and it was so great! We were told I would probably die like Superman from the wounds, but that didn’t happen. We got this turned around and the staff was also happy and helpful and kind and I am very, very grateful! Today wounds are officially healed!!!
Dr BADAM is one of the most unique physicians. I’ve had the opportunity to meet. She’s friendly, staff is very helpful and cheerful. The only doctor I’ve ever looked forward to going to see. I even suggested she had general practice so that we could continue to see her My husband taught her the plumber’s handshake, and she laughed and practices it with him each time we visit. I highly recommend if you need help she’s the one you want to See
I like coming to vayu. They helped healing my wound. Staff is great. Thank you for helping me Dr.Badam.
As part of my recovery I needed to do 12 hyperbaric treatments. In the beginning, I was petrified to go in there as I am very claustrophobic. But after a while, I felt more at ease as I got to watch one of my favorite shows while I was in the chamber. By the end, I felt like a champion completing each session. I didn’t realize how beneficial those treatments were until I saw not only a difference in my recovery, but also in my skin and my overall body felt revived. I highly recommend these treatments. They have helped me tremendously. Sue Hosner
I enjoyed the staff and Dr.Badam is extra ordinary. All the members are knowledgeable and treated me like a family and I was happy.chmabees are outstanding, was low ding an hour a half watching TV. Mason, Don, Faisal, Veronica, Priscilla and Jackie are outstanding. Laura is great. Even the intern is great. My leg had a big gaping hole upto tendon but now I am all healed. Dr.Sarfani the ortho doctor did phenomenal. Dr.Badan works hand in hand with doxtirs at VA and all the other doctors that are involved in my care. Thank you everyone for everything
Great administration, always on time, friendly and caring. Dr Badam and her staff are all great, very professional and respectful. I have been to lots of doctors and this place is different. It is a special place that cares about patients and takes the time to listen, and make them smile. Dr.Badam is the top 1, real calm and gets everything done. I really love her very much. She takes her time and explains everything in a way that I understand. The chamber has been amazing, healed my wounds and it also helped my breathing. My body has improved, became stronger and happier. Not just my toe but my whole body has improved. I suffered neuropathy and after HBOT, I felt like I healed inside out. Dr.Badam and her technicians really take care of everyone.
Staff is very competent. Very welcoming, extremely educated in terms ontreatment & care, always with a positive attitude and with a friendly caring environment that promoted better health. Dr.Badam is an angel and has a very caring g staff with her. I love her laugh, caring & she cares about what other doctors are recommending and without her, I would have not had my foot intact. Without you giving us direction, I would have not healed. You gave us strength to stay strong & battle my illness while continuing the care. We are very thankful for that. You are not like any other doctors that we have ever encountered & I personally feel you are from heaven. Thank you a million.
