Wound care is paramount in the repertoire of a well-rounded podiatrist. Wound care normally refers to chronic wounds caused by systemic disease. In our Podiatric office, we offer a continuum of Podiatric wound care practices including some of the newest advances available on the market, while keeping in mind cost-effectiveness for the patient.
We approach each patient using a multi-faceted approach, engaging all medical professionals involved in the care of the patient (like vascular or infectious disease doctors). In doing so, we try to address the root of the problem as well as deliver superb wound care. Detailed documentation of each patient and their wound is kept to determine the efficacy of each treatment. If after four weeks the wound is not improving, a small biopsy is taken, and the treatment plan is changed to give the wound the best chance at healing.
If your wound requires frequent attention, our doctors can set up home health nursing visits so wound care can be done by a professional in between office visits. Call our office to set up a wound evaluation and care plan.
