How to Start Healing
Your primary care physician can refer you or you may call directly to schedule and appointment. At your first visit, the staffwill thoroughly evaluate your wound and review your health and medical history. We will develop a treatment program based on your needs that will include visits to the Advanced Wound Center. Our medical team will communicate with your primary care physician until your wound is closed and you can return to them for follow up care.
