Wound Care Services
About five million Americans suffer from chronic wounds that won't heal. Often, these wounds won't heal due to a variety of factors such as age, diet, circulatory problems, diabetes, arthritis, kidney disease, and smoking. These wounds can become infected, requiring amputation in extreme cases, if not treated in a timely and effective manner. Wounds, due to their complex nature, require an individualized course of treatment to promote healing. We encourage the expertise and technology to support the needs of our patients.

- Diabetic ulcers
