Referral

Referral to the Wound Healing Program

Patients who receive treatment in the Wound Care Clinic may need a referral from a primary care physician. The primary care physician consults with our surgeon to ensure you are a good candidate for our program. Once the physician and the surgeon confirm the referral a scheduler contacts you to set up an appointment. During the initial appointment, our team performs a thorough evaluation to better understand the patient’s medical history and current condition. Following this assessment, a treatment program is tailored to your needs.  To schedule a consultation with the surgeon and wound care physician, contact the Outpatient Coordinator at 850-253-1964.
