When to See a Wound Care Specialist

Chronic wounds cause complex medical problems, including pain, loss of function and compromised quality of life. If you have a non-healing wound, the Garden City Hospital Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Services at the Specialty Centers of Westland has the expertise and technology needed for a cure.

You may need to seek treatment if your wound:
        • Has not healed after four to six weeks,
        • Has become worse after four to six weeks, or
        • Has resisted healing for months or years.

These types of wounds include:
        • Surgical wounds
        • Pressure ulcers
        • Skin tears, grafts or flaps
        • Radiation damage
        • Lower leg/foot wounds
        • Ostomies

        • Diabetes
        • Bone infections
        • Bacterial infections
        • Blood vessel disease
        • Malnutrition

A physician prescription is not necessary to receive treatment. Our staff will act as a representative with your insurance company if your insurance company requires a referral.
