Dealing with Problem Wounds
Our team of wound care specialists work collaboratively with your doctor to ensure the best outcome for you. Our Center is made up of a team of experienced professionals that includes:

• Physicians with advanced training in wound management;
• Nursing staff trained in the care of chronic wounds;
• Technicians who perform non-invasive studies and various therapies;

Your Course of Treatment
The first step is to identify the type of wound you have and the underlying problems causing the wound. After this, we create a program specifically tailored to your needs with treatment options that include:

• Infectious disease management
• Physical therapy
• Vascular evaluation
• Laboratory evaluation
• Nutritional management
• Pain management
• Diabetic education
• Nuclear medicine
• Radiology
• Debridement

Once a treatment plan has been initiated, you will visit the Center on a regular basis for wound care. In most cases, we will educate you on caring for your wound at home between visits, as well as how to protect your wound from further complications. You are the most important part of your healing process and can positively impact the effectiveness of your care.
