Your Healing Program
On your first visit, your wound and general health will be evaluated and your medical history, current medications and allergies reviewed. You may also need special tests to determine information about blood flow to the wound area. Once your test results are evaluated, an individualized treatment program will be tailored to your needs. You will continue to have regular visits to the center to provide treatment as healing progresses. You will also be given detailed instructions for your care at home.
Dr. Nancy Clark serves as the medical director and she is a board-certified vascular surgeon who has 10 years experience treating patients with complex circulation or blood flow problems. She has been medical director of the wound care program at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore since 2003.
