Focused care for complex wounds
At our Plantation clinic, we treat a wide range of acute and chronic wounds. Care begins with identifying the underlying cause and any barriers to healing, allowing us to develop a treatment plan tailored to each patient. We proudly welcome patients from Plantation, throughout Broward County, and across South Florida.
Wounds and conditions
we treat
Our clinic treats a variety of wounds and related conditions, including those highlighted below.
Diabetic foot and leg ulcers
Diabetes can affect sensation, blood flow, and the ability to recognize early injury. We assess the wound and the factors around it, then develop a plan that may include wound bed care, dressing selection, pressure relief, and coordination with other clinicians.
Read Our Patient GuidePressure injuries
Pressure injuries require attention to both the wound and the pressure that caused it. We work with patients, families, caregivers, and other clinicians on wound treatment, repositioning, support surfaces, and a workable care routine.
Read Our Patient GuideVenous leg ulcers
Venous leg ulcers can be affected by swelling and changes in the veins. We assess the wound and circulation to determine whether compression, local wound care, or further vascular assessment is appropriate.
Read Our Patient GuideArterial foot and leg ulcers
Reduced blood flow can contribute to wounds that are slow to heal, especially on the feet and lower legs. We assess the wound and circulation, and coordinate with a vascular specialist when further testing or treatment may be needed. The plan depends on the individual evaluation.
Read Our Patient GuidePost-surgical and graft-site wounds
We assess surgical, amputation, skin graft, and drain sites that have reopened, developed tissue loss, or are healing slowly. Care can include wound cleansing, dressing selection, treatment of nonviable tissue when indicated, and coordination with the surgical team.
Read Our Patient GuideSkin tears, lacerations and trauma
We provide assessment and an appropriate treatment plan for wounds following an injury, including those complicated by fragile skin, swelling, or other medical conditions.
Read Our Patient GuideBurns and radiation-related wounds
We evaluate burns and wounds affected by radiation therapy, then discuss whether treatment in our clinic or care in another setting is most appropriate. The plan depends on the burn’s depth, location, and the person’s needs.
Read Our Patient GuideCellulitis and wound infections
Redness, warmth, swelling, drainage, or increasing pain may signal an infection that needs prompt evaluation. We assess the wound, treat when appropriate, and coordinate urgent or hospital care when needed.
Read Our Patient GuideStalled and complex wounds
If a wound has remained open despite treatment, a second opinion may help reassess the diagnosis, wound bed, circulation, pressure, and daily care to identify an appropriate next step.
Read Our Patient GuideAdvanced wound treatments
Every wound is carefully evaluated to identify the underlying factors affecting healing, helping to create a treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs.
Debridement
Removal of nonviable tissue when it is clinically appropriate for the wound.
