Advanced Wound Care That Helps You Heal — and Helps Prevent Amputation
Chronic, non-healing wounds can quickly become serious — especially when circulation problems, infection, diabetes, or other health conditions are involved.

What to Expect as a Wound Care Patient
Chronic wounds rarely result from a single cause — which is why our approach is thorough, coordinated, and focused on long-term healing and prevention.
Your First Visit
During your first visit, our team will evaluate your wound and review your medical history. You may also need special tests to provide information about circulation and infection, helping us determine the best course of treatment.
Weekly Visits and Ongoing Progress Tracking
Once your treatment plan begins, most patients return weekly for specialized wound care treatments and documentation of healing progress. Keeping appointments and following your plan closely is essential to achieving the best healing outcome.
Steps You Can Take to Support Healing
Following directions is the single most important factor in your healing. Patients should care for their wound at home as instructed, take medications as directed, return for follow-up appointments, and continue regular care with their primary care provider while receiving wound treatment.
Advanced Wound Care Therapies
Depending on the wound type and underlying cause, your plan may include infection control, restoration of blood flow, debridement (removal of dead tissue), offloading, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, skin substitutes, compression therapy, foot reconstruction, or skin graft/flap procedures.
