How to start healing:
Generally,the physician presently treating your wound will refer you to our Center. You can also make your appointment directly.
When you call for your first appointment,we'll ask you a few questions about your wound and health in general.
Before beginning treatment,our team of doctors,nurses and therapists will thoroughly evaluate your wound and review your health and medical history.
Tests may need to be conducted to tell us more about your blood flow and tissue oxygenation as well as to determine if there is any infection present.
Together with your physician,we'll develop a treatment program based on our assessment of your special needs. Your program will likely involve regular visits to the Center. Your progress is meticulously documented and adjusted as necessary.
We are in constant communication with your doctor throughout your care. Once your wound is healed,you'll return to your doctor for follow-up care. And of course,you'll continue with your personal doctor for any related ailments like diabetes and hypertension.
