At Well&You Wound Care Center, healing means more than treating a wound, it means identifying and correcting the underlying cause. Many chronic or slow-healing wounds persist because the root problem has gone unrecognized. The following patient stories highlight how comprehensive, specialized care can restore health, mobility, and peace of mind.
Finding the Real Cause
Before Well&You: George’s wounds were not improving. He had already been treated by his primary care provider with multiple rounds of antibiotics, yet his wounds persisted.
After Well&You: It quickly became clear why: infection was not the issue. George was suffering from advanced venous disease, also known as venous insufficiency, which prevents proper blood flow from the legs back to the heart. Through minor, office-based venous procedures combined with advanced wound care, the team addressed both the cause and the consequence of his condition. His wounds healed, and the skin on his legs – previously flaking, weeping, and discolored – improved dramatically. Most importantly, George finally understood what had been causing his wounds and was relieved to have all aspects of his care handled in one location.
Healing in Time for Life’s Milestones
Before Well&You: Jimmy had open ulcerations, bulging veins, significant discoloration, and debilitating leg pain that limited his mobility.
After Well&You: We developed a personalized treatment plan that included deep vein stenting performed in our ambulatory surgical center, along with superficial venous closures using radiofrequency ablation, Varithena, and sclerotherapy. This comprehensive approach healed his wounds, improved the appearance of his legs, and resolved his pain. With his mobility restored, Jimmy was able to fully enjoy a moment that mattered most – his daughter’s wedding.
Why Early Wound Care Matters
Before Well&You: Maura was being treated for venous concerns when a small open wound on her arm was identified. Following the surgery for skin cancer, the incision had failed to heal for months.
After Well&You: With specialized wound care, including debridement and proper dressing selection, the wound healed after just a few visits. When Maura later sustained additional wounds from a fall, prompt treatment helped ensure rapid healing. Her story highlights an important message: even wounds that seem small heal faster and more effectively with expert care.
