The Wound Center

The concept behind The Wound Center is simple - bring about complete healing. Do it with a blend of technology, expert professional care and a generous portion of human touch. After all, most of our patients have suffered long enough. They need medical attention and they also need encouragement. They need to know that we will work with them to find a plan of treatment and therapy that works. Treatment that gives real hope for the future.

We specialize in the treatment of complicated, chronic wounds that have not healed with standard care. The Wound Center provides a comprehensive multi-disciplinary approach to wound care. The multi-disciplinary approach involves physicians, physical therapists, nutritionists, nurses, and other allied health professionals. The Wound Center provides highly specialized and individualized care plans to meet the needs of each patient's specific wounds. We work with patients to identify underlying disease or causes of wounds and develop strategies to prevent recurrence. We communicate with and coordinate care with your primary care physician and any necessary consulting physicians.
