Why wounds stall

A wound that won't close usually has a reason — circulation, pressure, infection, swelling, nutrition, or an underlying condition. Effective wound care starts by identifying and addressing that reason, not just covering the wound.

Our approach

  • Unhurried evaluation of the wound and the why behind it
  • Cleaning, debridement, and modern dressing strategies
  • Advanced and biologic options where clinically appropriate
  • Clear home-care instructions and scheduled follow-up
  • Coordination with your physician or a wound center when escalation is needed

When to be seen

A wound that hasn't meaningfully improved in two weeks, keeps reopening, or shows signs of infection — increasing redness, warmth, drainage, or odor — deserves professional attention. Earlier is always easier.

Frequently asked questions

We evaluate slow-healing wounds of many causes and will tell you honestly whether in-office care fits your situation or whether you're better served by a specialized wound center — and we'll coordinate that referral.

It depends on the wound; many plans involve regular dressing changes and scheduled rechecks until healing is on track.

Coverage varies by service and plan. We discuss costs transparently before care begins.
