What can I expect at the first appointment?
During your first visit, our wound care staff will review your medical history. They will assess the wound/wounds and order test -blood work or x-ray- that may need to be done. They will then discuss recommendations for your treatment plan. Please bring medical records if available, current medication list and photo ID and insurance cards.
