Frequently Asked Questions
For patients, families, and caregivers about chronic and complex wound care
We specialize in chronic and complex wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, pressure injuries, post-surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and burns or radiation injuries.
Seek specialized care if your wound has not healed within 2–4 weeks, shows signs of infection, causes pain or bleeding, or if you have underlying conditions like diabetes or vascular disease. Our team can evaluate any wound and recommend the best treatment.
We review your medical history, assess the wound, take measurements or imaging as needed, and discuss personalized treatment options with you and your caregivers.
Treatments include debridement and dressing management, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), advanced skin substitutes and growth factors, infection prevention, and patient/caregiver education for home care.
Yes. We provide guidance on dressing changes, wound monitoring, nutrition, mobility, and emotional support so caregivers feel confident in helping the patient heal.
Standard wound care typically involves basic cleaning, dressing changes, and monitoring for infection. Advanced wound care uses specialized treatments and technologies—such as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), skin substitutes, growth factors, and comprehensive care plans—designed for chronic, complex, or hard-to-heal wounds. Advanced wound care is tailored to each patient’s specific needs and often produces faster, safer healing.
Patients with chronic or non-healing wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous or arterial ulcers, pressure injuries, post-surgical wounds, or traumatic wounds, can benefit. Individuals with underlying health conditions—like diabetes, vascular disease, or compromised immunity—may also require advanced wound care to promote proper healing and prevent complications.
We primarily treat patients at our Shrewsbury, NJ location or at their nursing home or assisted living facility. For patients with mobility challenges or those requiring ongoing monitoring, we offer home visits and telehealth consultations when appropriate, ensuring continuity of care and accessibility for all patients.
The frequency of visits depends on the type and severity of the wound, as well as your overall health. Some patients may need weekly or biweekly visits, while others with chronic or complex wounds may require more frequent monitoring. Your care plan will be tailored to your specific needs and adjusted as your wound progresses.
