Our Center is staffed with a unique team of doctors, nurses and therapists all dedicated to healing chronic wounds. The causes of open sores are complex, and our group represents expertise in all of the major areas, including physicians, nurses, therapists and case managers, necessary to handle their varied circumstances and challenges. It could be as simple as changing a medication, or more complex. Whatever it takes for healing to occur, we’re equipped and staffed to make it happen.
How to start healing Generally, the physician presently treating your wound will refer you to our Center. Or, you can make your appointment directly by calling 513-585-4595. When you call for your first appointment, we’ll ask you a few questions about your wound and health in general. Before beginning treatment, our team of doctors, nurses and therapists will thoroughly evaluate your wound and review your health and medical history. Tests might be conducted to tell us more about your blood flow and tissue oxygenation as well as to determine if there’s any infection present.
Together with your physician, we’ll develop a treatment program based on our assessment of your special needs. Your personalized program will likely involve regular visits to the Center. Your progress is carefully documented and adjusted as necessary.
We are in constant communication with your doctor throughout your care. Once your wound is healed, you’ll return to your doctor for follow-up care. And of course, you’ll continue with your personal doctor for any related ailments like diabetes and hypertension.
New wound options available here There’s no longer any reason to live with an open sore. Every wound has its unique set of circumstances. Our Wound Healing Center is equipped and staffed to address them all with treatment options from medication therapy to wound dressing to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Most treatments are covered by Medicare/Medicaid, HMOs and other private insurance plans. We are experts at caring for people whose open sores have resisted traditional treatment, with a success rate of 88 percent healed in 12-16 weeks.
Your role in healing Much of the success of your treatment depends on you. We’ll count on you to follow directions carefully and watch your progress closely. You’ll learn about caring for your wound at home including how to change dressings and how to protect yourself from further injuries. We’re always here to answer questions and give you the support you need to heal.
