What to Expect from Your First Appointment

It is recommended that you are referred by your primary care physician/provider or specialist. However, you may also self-refer. Appointments are required. Please, no walk-ins.

Your initial visit consists of a full assessment to determine they type of wound you have, your overall health status, and your ability to comply with the needed therapies.

Based on the evaluation, a customized treatment plan is developed to optimize the therapies best suited to address your specific needs. Wound measurements and photos are documented at the initial visit, and again at each subsequent visit. Some of the diagnostic modalities which may be used throughout your course of treatment include:

• Laboratory evaluation
• Radiology imaging
• Vascular studies
• Ultrasound​

Note: You should refrain from smoking or the use of any tobacco products during the entire course of therapy. Tobacco use will prolong or even prevent healing of a wound site due to its effect on the blood vessels in your body. Your provider can help with smoking cessation.

Following Your First Visit

Once a treatment plan has been initiated, you will visit the Wound Care Center on a regular basis for treatment and documentation of the progress of your healing. You'll also be fully instructed on how to do your own wound care at home between visits, as well as how to protect your wound from further injury. We will send updates to your referring provider to keep them informed of your care. 

It's very important to remember that you play a key role in your healing process. Keeping appointments and following directions are critical to attaining a positive healing outcome.
