- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous stasis ulcers
- Arterial ulcers
- Pressure injuries (bedsores)
- Surgical and post-operative wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Infected or non-healing wounds

Advanced Wound Care Treatments
Wire-Guided Localization
Each patient receives a thorough assessment that may include:
- Wound measurement and staging
- Vascular and circulation evaluation
- Infection assessment
- Review of underlying conditions affecting healing (diabetes, nutrition, blood flow)
Wound Debridement
Debridement is a key component of wound healing and involves removing dead, damaged, or infected tissue to promote healthy tissue growth.
Types of debridement offered include:
- Sharp/surgical debridement
- Mechanical debridement
- Autolytic debridement
- Enzymatic debridement
Our providers perform debridement safely and effectively, minimizing discomfort while optimizing healing conditions.
Advanced Wound Therapies
Depending on the wound type and healing needs, treatment may include:
- Advanced dressings and topical therapies
- Negative pressure wound therapy (wound vac)
- Compression therapy for venous disease
- Offloading techniques for diabetic foot wounds
- Infection control and antibiotic coordination
- Skin substitutes and biologic dressings (when indicated)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a specialized treatment used for select wound conditions that are slow to heal.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
HBOT involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which:
- Increases oxygen delivery to damaged tissue
- Stimulates new blood vessel growth
- Enhances the body’s ability to fight infection
- Accelerates wound healing
Conditions That May Benefit from HBOT
- Diabetic wounds resistant to standard treatment
- Radiation tissue damage
- Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
- Compromised skin grafts or flaps
- Certain severe infections
HBOT is provided under close medical supervision in a safe, controlled environment.
Our Approach to Healing
- Individualized care plans tailored to each patient
- Team-based approach involving physicians, nurses, and specialists
- Coordination with referring providers
- Focus on prevention, education, and long-term wound management
- Compassionate, patient-centered care
What to Expect
Patients can expect:
- Timely appointments and continuity of care
- Clear explanations of treatment options
- Regular wound monitoring and progress tracking
- Supportive education for home wound care and prevention
Our goal is not only to heal wounds, but to help patients return to daily life safely and confidently.

Anti-reflux surgery may be recommended for patients whose GERD symptoms cause:
- Chest pain and/or burning sensation in the chest (especially after eating; typically worse at night)
- Difficulty swallowing
- Feeling of a “lump” in the throat
- Regurgitation
- Bloating or nausea
These acid reflux symptoms may cause additional troubles, such as difficulty sleeping, asthma, chronic pain in the throat, or even precancerous changes of the esophagus.
