Wound Healing Starts Here

We understand you may be nervous when coming for your appointment and may have questions. When you visit the Wound Care Center, our team will examine your wound and review your health and medical history. Tests may be completed to determine blood flow, tissue oxygenation and determine if you have an infection. Once the team reviews your information, they will work with your physician to map out your treatment plan.
