Who are the Medical Staff?

The Wound Care Clinic has a multidisciplinary team of physicians including podiatrists, vascular surgeons, general surgeons, a plastic surgeon, an orthopedic surgeon, internists, and an infectious disease specialist. We also have a compassionate and caring staff that includes registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses and medical assistants.

Patients are initially seen weekly by a physician. Nurse Case Managers assess the patient’s functional and nutritional status, and do a wound and pain assessment at each visit. Patients are instructed regarding wound dressings, protection of the wound area, and prevention of further wound development. Physical Therapy and Home Care referrals are also made if needed. The staff works together to provide each patient with the best possible care.
