Medications

Which wound care treatment is right for me?
To determine if you’re a candidate for wound care and which type is best, Dr. Chambers reviews your medical history, checks your vital signs, examines your feet, toes, and ankles, and asks about your symptoms.
He might recommend X-rays, ultrasounds, vascular testing, blood tests, or other diagnostic tests to detect or rule out causes of wounds or their complications. Dr. Chambers personalizes wound care treatments to give you the best results.
