What Is Wound Care?
Wound care is a specialized area of medicine focused on treating chronic, nonhealing, or complicated wounds. These include diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, pressure sores, surgical wounds, and wounds related to peripheral vascular or arterial disease.
Conditions we frequently treat include:
- Diabetic foot wounds and ulcers
- Venous stasis ulcers
- Wounds caused by ischemia or peripheral arterial disease
- Wounds related to diabetic peripheral neuropathy
- Post-surgical wound complications
- Chronic wounds with delayed healing or infection
Our goal is to not only close the wound but also address the root cause, prevent recurrence, and support your long-term health.
Wound Care Options: What Treatments Are Available?
Dr. Abtahi offers a full range of advanced wound care techniques, carefully chosen based on the type and severity of your wound. Your treatment plan will be fully customized to promote optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications.
1. Advanced Surgical Wound Management
For deep, complex, or infected wounds, surgical intervention may be necessary. This can include:
- Debridement to remove dead or infected tissue
- Skin grafting or flap coverage to promote closure
- Reconstruction following trauma or complications from other procedures
These surgical techniques are particularly effective in cases involving chronic ulcers or wounds with impaired healing.
2. Offloading and Pressure Relief
Offloading is critical for patients with diabetic foot ulcers or plantar wounds. Dr. Abtahi may recommend:
- Total contact cast systems
- Custom orthotics
- Specialized footwear
Reducing pressure on the wound allows healing to occur without repeated trauma or shear.
3. Vascular Assessment and Optimization
Wounds related to poor circulation require an evaluation of blood flow. In cases of ischemia or peripheral arterial disease, we work closely with vascular specialists to improve circulation and support tissue repair.
4. Post-Surgical Wound Care
If you’re recovering from plastic surgery or any surgical procedure and experiencing delayed wound healing, we offer specialized post-operative care to minimize complications and ensure proper tissue recovery.

What to Expect During Recovery
Healing timelines vary depending on the nature of the wound, the presence of underlying conditions like diabetes or vascular disease, and your body’s response to treatment.
Dr. Abtahi provides detailed aftercare instructions and will monitor your progress closely. Most patients are asked to return regularly for dressing changes, wound monitoring, and follow-up assessments.
In some cases, additional support such as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), topical growth factors, or biologic skin substitutes may be used to accelerate healing.
Maintaining good blood sugar control, following offloading protocols, and addressing nutritional needs are also essential parts of the recovery process.
How Much Does Wound Care Cost?
The cost of wound care depends on the complexity of the wound and the level of treatment required. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized cost estimate based on:
- The type and extent of the wound
- Whether surgical intervention is needed
- Any diagnostic imaging or lab testing
- Use of advanced wound care products or biologics
While cosmetic wound care is generally not covered by insurance, most medical wound care services are eligible for coverage. We’ll work with your insurance provider to determine your benefits and discuss financing options if needed.
