The Healing Process at OMC
Evaluation & Diagnosis
Your wound care journey begins with a comprehensive examination at the Advanced Wound Healing Clinic. During your first visit, your provider will:
- Assess the wound’s type, size, and cause
- Review your medical history and overall health
- Order diagnostic tests such as lab work, imaging (MRI or ultrasound), transcutaneous oxygen tests, or vascular studies if needed
Personalized Care Plan
Based on your evaluation, your provider will design a customized treatment plan that may include advanced therapies, supportive services, and at-home care instructions.
Measuring Progress
At each visit, your provider will document wound size, depth, and healing progress. Adjustments will be made as needed to keep your recovery on track.
Wound Care Treatments & Services
OMC offers advanced treatments tailored to each patient’s needs, including:
- Bandages and advanced dressings
