Management
Diabetic wound care that works
Diabetic wounds require more than routine care. They demand close monitoring, early intervention, and advanced treatment tailored to each stage of healing. Our podiatrists work with you and your family to protect circulation, prevent infection, and promote safe tissue repair.
Ulcers
Diabetic foot ulcers need expert hands
A Foot Ulcer is a chronic condition that develops over time. Usually in an area that has a callus, for example on the ball of the foot or high-pressure areas. Some causes are Neuropathy, Trauma (Sometimes repeated or isolated event like a puncture), and Diabetes.
These wounds demand more than standard care. They require someone who knows the complications, the risks, and the path forward. We’ve treated hundreds of diabetic ulcers and know what works.

Patient Testimonial
“My name is Paula Parker. My wound actually began with my chemotherapy treatments. My treatment has been from last year of September all the way up until now, present. My wounds began to heal, I could see progress in March of this year. The state I was in, very uncomfortable but with the treatments being applied it made it less uncomfortable. Doctors having great bedside manners but the staff overall, really concerned, very kind.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about our services and how we can help you
How long does wound healing take?
Healing time varies by wound type and severity. Minor wounds may heal in weeks, while diabetic ulcers or complex injuries can take months. We monitor your progress closely and adjust treatment as needed.
Do I need a referral for an appointment?
Most patients can schedule directly with us. Some insurance plans require referrals. Call our office and we’ll verify your coverage and help with any paperwork needed.
What should I do if my wound gets infected?
Contact us immediately if you notice increased redness, warmth, drainage, or fever. Infections require prompt treatment to prevent serious complications. We can often see urgent cases the same day.
Are your products covered by insurance?
Many advanced wound care products are covered by insurance. We work with your plan to maximize benefits. Our billing team can discuss coverage options before treatment begins.
Can diabetic ulcers be prevented?
Yes. Regular foot inspections, proper blood sugar control, appropriate footwear, and professional care reduce ulcer risk significantly. We provide guidance on prevention strategies during your visits.
