Our Approach to Healing

We understand that chronic wounds are more than just skin deep—they’re often signs of systemic challenges such as diabetes, neuropathy, or vascular disease. Our approach combines precise offloading, early surgical source control, and tailored wound dressing regimens to promote durable healing. Every treatment plan is individualized and rooted in evidence-based protocols, with the goal of healing your wound and preventing it from coming back.

We offer flexible wound care plans to fit your needs and lifestyle. Some patients prefer a hands-off approach—just come in once a week, and we’ll take care of everything, including dressing changes. Your only job is to keep the dressing clean, dry, and in place. If weekly visits are hard due to things like transportation, distance, or cost, we can teach you how to do wound care at home. In that case, you’ll just visit us once a month for check-ups and to adjust your treatment plan based on the wound's progression.

More Than a Wound Clinic - We're Surgeons Too

What sets us apart is that our wound care doctors are also experienced foot and ankle surgeons. If during your regular visits we find signs of infection—or if your wound or overall condition reaches a point where a simple surgical procedure could speed up healing—we can handle that directly. Most wound centers can't offer that kind of in-house surgical care, but we can.

Schedule a Consultation

If you have a foot or ankle ulcer that hasn’t healed or have been told that amputation is your only option, don’t wait. Our Wound Care Clinic at AAP is here to offer a second opinion and a focused, multidisciplinary plan to save your limb and restore your function.
