How is the patient’s care managed by our physicians?
A non-healing wound can be frustrating and expensive both for the physician, as well as the patient. At South Texas Wound Associates, we treat wounds, establish measures to prevent its recurrence, and inform the primary care physicians of their patients’ progress. A thorough assessment is performed not only of the wound but of the patient as a whole by taking into consideration all ongoing medical problems. Individualized treatment is offered with prevention education.
