Alex Borsand, MD

Dr. Alexander Lightstone Borsand, MD, ABLM, FMHC pursued a unique medical path, recognizing early on that conventional sick care did not align with his vision for patient health. After earning his medical degree from Aureus University School of Medicine, he expanded his expertise by attending Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, deepening his knowledge of natural alternatives to prescription medications. He later became a diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, specializing in evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent and reverse metabolic disease.

Dr. Borsand’s journey into hyperbaric medicine began with a personal injury that profoundly shaped his career. Following a severe crush injury, five surgeries, and a non-healing fracture, he underwent 60 hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) sessions with remarkable results; his fracture began to heal, and his pain disappeared. Inspired by this transformative experience, he pursued advanced training in hyperbaric medicine, earning his Functional Medicine Certification in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Dr. Borsand co-founded RX-O2 Hyperbaric Clinics to expand access to hyperbaric medicine. As the head of business development, education, and community outreach, he is dedicated to advancing the field of HBOT and ensuring its safe and effective use. He is an active member of the International Hyperbaric Association, a certified trainer for the International Board of Undersea Medicine, the medical advisor to the National Hyperbaric Safety Association and a passionate advocate for hyperbaric therapy's role in patient care.
