Pediatric Wound Care

Some wounds demand extra attention. No matter what you or your doctor try, your wound just won’t heal. A wound that won’t heal can evidentially turn from irritating to life-threatening. Fortunately, we’re here to help prevent those problems from getting worse. We utilize procedures, such as debridement, hyperbaric oxygen and infection management, to prevent serious complication. Don’t let a treatable injury turn into a major medical problem.
