Welcome to “Inside the Mind of” a powerful new patient testimonial series where we go beyond the diagnosis to share the personal journeys of our patients and their loved ones. Through their stories, we highlight the profound impact of our specialized care and the resilience of the community we serve. Kicking off the series is Dr. Chase Lay, a plastic surgeon who discovered NorCal Brain Center after suffering a stroke while scuba diving in Belize. After numerous visits with doctors, neurologists, and other specialists left him feeling hopeless, he finally found the answers he was seeking through our specialized care.

Nor Cal Brain Center was recommended to me by my biological dentist because I have many health issues including gums that are not healing. She suggested that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may help and recommended Nor Cal. I was impressed with the staff when I called and asked about what they offered and booked a free consultation with Dr. Minh Tran. He was very helpful and listened attentively to my health concerns and we discussed the possible benefits of HBOT. He was knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with his recommendation and signed up for 30 appointments for HBOT. I was able to easily schedule appointments for three days a week. I have completed almost half of those appointments and am experiencing the benefits in that I am thinking more clearly, have a better attitude, more energy and greater stamina. I am impressed with all of the staff. They are friendly, helpful, and professional. The facilities are clean, comfortable and well maintained. Parking is readily available and close to the main entrance of the building. I would highly recommend Nor Cal Brain Center.

My son has had two TBI injuries resulting in multi-layered symptoms affecting his nervous system, gut, eyes, head/neck/shoulder tension, and vestibular. The treatment plan from dr Minh and the execution of the treatment by the staff has been extraordinary! This is a unique place for healing with a diverse range of testing methods and therapies and skilled doctors and well trained staff. My son was finally able to resume his usual life. With much gratitude. 🙏🏽

I am impressed of the a simple and mindfully “staying still” does wonders for you body and mind. I felt safe inside the HBOT knowing that I was being healed inside and out. I can tell now improvement on my skin looking and feeling healthier and my chest congestion and dry cough that I had for many years has improved dramatically after the second session. I am thankful for Dr Minh’ kindness and his staff promptness to accommodate my needs. My therapist Jang Dokko is the best. He is deatailed oriented, patient, does the therapy throughly and informs me of everything he is is doing, compassionate and considerate, making sure he does not hurt me. Thank yoy Jang, thank you Dr Minh and thanks to the whole team.

At 12, he began volunteering in various capacities, including preparing food, cleaning trash, assisting with after-school activities, and more.

His time there cemented his passion for healthcare. Since graduating, he has worked at various clinics, hoping to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible to positively impact people’s lives.

Initially, Jang aspired to become a Physician Assistant. After working at Norcal Brain Center for a year and witnessing its profound impact on patients, he hopes to become a clinical neurologist one day.
