Talking to your wound doctor for the first time can be a bit intimidating if you do not know what to expect. After all, you are dealing with a serious health problem that is probably very painful as well. But there is nothing to fear whatsoever; your doctor is committed to helping you get better as quickly as possible. Here are just some of the things you will be talking about during your initial consultation.
The Wound Doctor Examination
When you come in for your appointment, the wound doctor will first perform an examination to not only determine the type of wound you are dealing with, but also to determine any underlying causes of the problem. After the exam, you will then talk about the plan of action needed to treat the issue as effectively as possible. At DFW Wound Care Center, you can rest assured our methods of treatment are the most sophisticated available.
Your Treatment Plan

Maintaining the Wound
In order to reduce the chances of an infection developing, there are many things that you will need to do at home. For example, you will want to make sure you get plenty of rest and also eat healthy. Take all of your medications as directed and show up for all of your follow-up appointments.
