Wound care specialist

Whether you've been referred by your primary doctor or are seeking help on your own, starting wound care can feel overwhelming. Here’s what to expect at your first visit and how we help you feel comfortable, informed, and in control.


Step 1: Medical History & Wound Assessment

We start by reviewing your health conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors that may affect healing. Then, we perform a detailed wound exam, including:

  • Measuring wound size and depth

  • Noting drainage, odor, and color

  • Photographing the wound for tracking progress


Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your wound type and overall health, we develop a treatment plan that may include:

  • Wound cleansing and debridement

  • Infection control

  • Pressure relief (offloading)

  • Moisture balance and advanced dressings


Step 3: Education & At-Home Care

We believe in empowering our patients. You’ll receive:

  • Instructions on dressing changes and foot care

  • A clear schedule of follow-ups


Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring

Healing takes time, but we’ll be with you every step of the way. We track your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and offer advanced therapies to support wound closure.


You’re not alone in your healing journey. Schedule your first appointment and let our expert team support you from start to finish.
