Real care journeys
Hear directly from patients we've treated.
A few patients agreed to share their experience on camera. Individual results vary — but their own words are a better starting point than any description we could write.
Case by case
Written case vignettes, by condition.
Beyond the testimonials above, each case below is presented as a written vignette — with video and transcript as they become available — and published only once that patient's consent is confirmed.
Case vignettes are being finalized — each one is published only after the patient's consent is confirmed. Check back soon.
Searchable by condition
Explore cases by condition or care need.
Every case is different, but most of what we see falls into a handful of categories.
Diabetic & Vascular Wounds
Foot and leg wounds complicated by neuropathy (nerve damage that dulls sensation) or poor blood flow — where healing depends on more than just closing the wound itself.
Pressure Injuries
Stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers, often in patients with limited mobility, where tissue loss has reached muscle or bone.
Traumatic Wounds
Injuries from accidents where the priority is protecting what's salvageable before deciding how to rebuild.
Burn Care
Burn injuries, including pediatric cases, where reconstruction has to account for a still-growing patient.
Surgical Complications
Wounds that opened, infected, or failed to heal after a procedure performed here or elsewhere. We regularly see patients referred after a complication at another facility.
Infections
Rapidly spreading or deep-seated infections requiring urgent debridement (removal of dead or infected tissue) and staged reconstruction.
Complex Reconstruction
Cases involving exposed bone, hardware, or structural tissue loss that call for flap reconstruction rather than direct closure.
Your care journey
A clear path from first question to ongoing support.

Our Approach
Before a wound can close, we have to deal with what's underneath it — dead tissue, infection, poor blood supply. Skipping that step is the same mistake as patching a roof without finding the leak: it looks resolved for a while, and then it isn't.
So the sequence stays consistent, case to case: clear away necrotic or infected tissue first (debridement), determine how far any infection has spread, protect the area while it heals, and only then move to closing or rebuilding the wound itself. For more complex cases, that last step can mean flap reconstruction — moving healthy tissue, with its own blood supply intact, to cover a defect that can't close on its own.
Where the analogy breaks down is that a wound isn't a roof — the “why” behind it usually matters as much as the repair. Diabetic neuropathy, poor circulation, prior radiation, an infection that hasn't fully resolved — each changes what timeline and interventions are reasonable. Meaningful healing is possible in cases other practices have stepped back from. Not a guarantee — meaningful.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you schedule.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Any records or imaging related to the wound, a list of current medications, and a caregiver or family member if you'd like a second set of ears.
Do you see patients referred from other practices?
Yes — we regularly see patients with complications from procedures performed elsewhere, and we work directly with the referring provider where possible.
How is a treatment plan decided?
It's based on your history, examination, and goals. We walk through the reasonable options, including what each involves and what timeline is realistic.
