Our team of physicians, advanced practice providers and registered nurses are certified in the comprehensive care of problem wounds and utilize the latest clinical tools and research-based practices in the science of wound care.

Treatment Tailored to Your Needs

Because every patient's wound is unique, you will have a thorough exam by one of our wound care specialists to identify the type of wound you have and its underlying causes. We will work with you to develop a plan for wound healing of chronic wounds and acute wounds.  Below are some of the types of wounds we treat:

  • Pressure ulcers: pressure sore, pressure injury, bedsore, decubitus
