Wound Care

When Should I Seek Treatment For My Wound? 

Please ask your doctor about visiting Advanced Wound Care if:

• You have a wound that hasn't healed in 30 days
• You have a sore with increasing pain, redness, swelling, foul odor, or a change in color
• You have a surgical wound that has become infected

How to Start Healing

1. Generally, the physician currently treating you will refer you to Advanced Wound Center for specialized care. You can also make an appoinment directly with our office.
2. When you call for your first appointment, we will ask you a few questions about your wound and your health in general.
3. Before treatment, our team of doctors and nurses will thoroughly evaluate your wound and review your health and medical history
4. Tests may be conducted to tell us more about your blood flow and tissue oxygenation as well as to determine if there's any infection present.
5. Together with your physician, we'll develop a treatment program based on your special needs.
6. We are in constant communication with your doctor throughout your care. Once your wound is healed, you'll return to your doctor for follow-up care.

What To Bring To Your First Appointment
