Because each patient is unique, we have brought together a highly skilled, multidisciplinary team to design and deliver the best solution for your care. We offer comprehensive consultations, advanced wound treatments and specialized patient education. 

Considering all your needs, we provide care with respect and dignity because we know this is an essential part of the healing process. Our wound care staff will manage your care with your primary care physician, specialty care providers and home health agencies to ensure your overall wellbeing. 

Our Services

Depending on the type, length of time and medical conditions, wounds may take an average of 8 to 12 weeks to heal. Our staff is specially trained to provide the highest standard of care to help you get back to living your life to the fullest.

After an initial evaluation, we provide each person with an individualized plan to help heal these difficult wounds, using serial digital photo records for wound assessment and management.

Chronic wound care

Wound Care

Chronic wound care

Most people have no problem healing. However, there are times when complications cause wounds to last weeks to years. Our center specializes in addressing all the possible causes to help you heal and prevent other wounds from forming or coming back. 

Compression wraps

Wound Care

Compression wraps

Patients often go years without healing due to improperly addressing the venous pressure and disease. Ulcers in the middle to lower leg caused by trauma or those that spontaneously form due to varicose veins respond markedly to consistent compression. Compression wraps are a solution to provide consistent compression to help ulcers heal.  

Epidermal grafting

Wound Care

Epidermal grafting

Regular full thickness or split thickness grafting often requires creating a new wound to help heal an old wound, with residual scarring. Epidermal grafting provides a milder skin graft solution without scarring of a donor site and is done easily in the office.

Hyperbaric oxygen

Wound Care

Hyperbaric oxygen

Hyperbaric medicine has been studied to be effective in a variety of specific wound types. We only treat indications currently approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and Medicare.

Ostomy support

Wound Care

Ostomy support

Having an ostomy, especially if unplanned, is a very difficult and emotional life-altering development. Our staff understands the unique challenges (both mental and physical) associated with managing an ostomy and can help educate and troubleshoot the best solutions and products for your particular situation.

Skin substitutes

Wound Care

Skin substitutes

Most wounds will heal with careful conservative care. However, there are instances where the body cannot provide local growth factors required for healing due to certain underlying medical conditions.

If wounds fail to heal, our clinic uses several types of “skin substitutes” that provide growth factors and a scaffolding to promote healing.  

These come from varying sources, including placenta, umbilical cord and other mammalian cells. Application of these products can jump start wounds to help them heal.
