ARK Wellness8 listed

Clinic directory

Ranked by ARK Score — computed from five published factors, shown on every card. Prices are the clinic's own verified published prices. You arrange and pay treatment with the clinic directly; ARK does not sell treatment and takes no share of what a clinic charges you.

How the ARK Score is calculated

Computed in code from five published factors. No sponsorship, placement fee or partner status enters this function. The factor breakdown is shown on every card so a member can check the arithmetic.

  • priceTransparency (25) verified published price = 25 · inferred/aggregator price = 12 · not published = 0
  • medicalLeadership (25) named MD verified = 25 · physician-led inferred = 15 · unknown = 5 · not physician-led = 0
  • regulatoryStanding (20) regulator/accreditation verified = 20 · inferred = 12 · unknown = 5
  • serviceEvidence (20) library evidence grade of the clinic's primary service: A=20 B=16 C=12 D=8 E=5 F=2. Carried from the protocol cards, never re-graded here.
  • disclosure (10) 10 minus 3 per documented red flag, floor 0
  • v0 has no outcome data, no patient-reported outcomes and no complication rates — because none of these clinics publish them. Absence is scored as absence, never as good.
  • A high score means a clinic is transparent and credibly staffed. It does not mean the treatment works. Service evidence is capped at 20 of 100 precisely so that a clinic cannot score well on the strength of an unproven therapy.

  • Off-label use; not covered by insurance.
  • Cognition claims rest on Sagol trials that critics call small and contested — and HBOT for cognition failed a 2025 sham-controlled RCT, which is why ARK delists it for cognitive goals.
  • Extreme cost per session relative to every other HBOT provider in this directory.

Medical leadership: Protocol developed with Dr Shai Efrati, Director of the Sagol Center, Israel. US clinic is physician-staffed.

Regulatory: US clinic operating under Florida medical practice regulation.

Red flags (3)
  • Publishes biological-age claims ('2.61 years younger') that outrun the evidence — no human study has shown that lowering a clock reading extends life or prevents disease.
  • TPE's own best-designed trial (AMBAR) missed one of two co-primary endpoints.
  • Per-session price tier with a biomarker-only result behind it.

Medical leadership: Physician-run protocols across partner sites; per-site oversight varies and no single named medical director was captured.

Regulatory: US clinics; apheresis performed on FDA-cleared devices, off-label for this indication.

Shortlisted as a partner candidate: its entire model is layering onto existing clinics, which is the same shape as ARK's delivery-not-molecules position. The bio-age marketing would need to be firewalled from any ARK surface.

Red flags (5)
  • Vietnamese-language public medicine — not set up for foreign wellness clients.
  • Admission is indication-driven (stroke, wounds, burns), not protocol-driven.
  • Equipment vintage unverified.
  • Chamber pressure (ATA) is not published. The ~$12 session price is verified; the treatment PRESSURE is not. A 1.3 ATA session and a 2.0 ATA session are not the same product, and the ATA-dependent findings in the library — including the Thom 2006 CD34+ mobilisation result — were measured at 2.0 ATA. Ask for the protocol pressure in writing before treating this price as comparable to anything.
  • The widely repeated '$55/session Vietnam' figure does not match any named facility. Verified public-hospital rates are $9–$20; $40–$60 is the plausible private/international landing zone but no facility publishing $55 was found.

Medical leadership: Government scientific centre with medical staffing; named medical director not captured in this research pass.

Regulatory: Vietnamese state scientific institution.

Regulatory: COFEPRIS-licensed lab partner claimed by the clinic; not independently confirmed.

Shortlisted as a partner candidate: per-cell pricing published, dual locations, package logistics built for US patients — the cleanest diligence profile in a category with poor hygiene overall.

Regulatory: US clinic under North Carolina medical practice regulation.

Shortlisted as a partner candidate in the seed research: independent, published package pricing, small enough to sign a referral arrangement, credible enough not to embarrass.

  • SERIOUS: a 2019 autism paper was RETRACTED for failing to disclose pay-to-participate conflicts ($7,200 for four visits).
  • That trial had no control group.
  • Highest price in the regenerative set with no corresponding evidence advantage.
  • Founder is not a physician.

Medical leadership: Founder and Chief Science Officer Neil Riordan is a PA and PhD, not an MD. Local physician staff deliver treatment.

Regulatory: Operates under Panamanian regulation; specifics not independently confirmed in this pass.

Included deliberately. It is the most famous clinic in the category and members will find it with or without ARK — so ARK publishes the retraction alongside the price.

Directory integrity

Listing is not endorsement. Red flags are published on the card, including for the highest-scoring entries.

Prices are the clinic's own verified published prices, re-checked on a published cadence. ARK does not set, discount, or sell a treatment price — the member arranges and pays the clinic directly (Catalog & Monetization Policy, 8/27).

Every price carries its verification label from the seed file: 'verified' means it was found on a published page or reputable secondary source with a URL; 'inferred' means an aggregator or competitor stated it, or it was estimated from range data.

Educational options, not medical advice. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription, or a prediction of your individual result. Discuss any option with a licensed clinician who knows your history.
