Planning your visit
At the first appointment, the team evaluates the wound and the patient's overall health, then works with the patient's primary care physician on a treatment plan. Treatment typically includes a series of appointments at the wound center, special dressings or bandages, and detailed home-care instructions. Progress is monitored with examinations, photographs and measurements, and the plan is adjusted as needed. Staff explain how to change bandages, protect the wound from further injury and use diet and exercise during recovery, and the team can help arrange home care. Appointments are scheduled by phone.
