Healing Wounds is Our Specialty
We are a specialized outpatient wound care treatment center dedicated to the care of patients with wounds.
Wounds that are hard-to-heal and/or non-healing may be a result of pressure, trauma or infection. Sometimes, the simplest of wounds can turn into a significant problem due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, circulation problems or previous radiation treatment.
Since non-healing wounds rarely result from a single cause, we treat the whole person, not just the wound. Our team of experienced wound care specialists will assess your symptoms, determine the underlying cause of your non-healing wound and customize the most effective treatment plan to stimulate healing.
Our treatment plans are designed to complement the care your own physician provides, ensuring that your health care team is always working together to provide the treatment that’s right for you.
Non-healing wounds can have serious health consequences and may adversely affect your quality of life. If you have a wound or an ulcer that is not healing, or any wound that is of concern, ask your physician for a referral to the wound center or contact us directly for an appointment.
Advanced wound care may include:
- Diagnostic testing (can include vascular testing, blood tests, x-rays)
- Nutritional evaluation
- Infection control
- Specialized dressings
- Pressure-relieving devices
- Debridement (removal of dead or infected tissue)
- Patient education
Even the most difficult wounds that have not responded to other treatments may see significant improvement at our center.
To ask about treatment or make an appointment contact us at (877) 295-2273.
