At South Bay Wound Care, we strive to make the wound healing process as easy and frustration-free as possible for our patients. Contact us today and let us guide you through a stressful time.
Contact our friendly staff by phone to schedule an appointment. All treatment happens onsite in our Chula Vista office. We will be happy to answer any questions you have about our services and help you get started on your wound healing journey.
Please bring a list of all current medications, identification and insurance cards, and any recent lab or imaging results to your first appointment. This information is necessary for our providers to properly assess your condition and develop a plan of care.
Plan to set aside two hours for your initial appointment. The first visit aims to determine the root cause of your non-healing wound and devise a plan to tackle those underlying problems. Additionally, this visit involves potential changes in wound care and educating you or your caregiver on how to assist. Follow-up visits will be an hour or less.
Chronic and non-healing wounds can result from a number of factors, including diabetes, poor circulation, infection, inadequate nutrition, medications, trauma, vascular disease, and immobility (which can lead to pressure ulcers, commonly known as "bed sores"). The healing time for wounds varies. Our goal is to heal chronic ulcers in eight to twelve weeks. We will determine the root cause of your non-healing wound and pursue an aggressive treatment plan.
The healing time for wounds varies and is not definitive. It's important to note that certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or venous deficiencies, can slow down the healing process. To ensure successful and speedy healing, South Bay Wound Care will provide specific instructions to patients and caregivers on maintaining proper wound care at home.
Most health plans, including Medicare and Medi-Cal, cover wound care treatments. Feel free to call us at 619-567-0499 to determine what your specific insurance plan covers.
If a patient has an open wound that is not healing properly, they should seek evaluation at a center of excellence for specialized wound care like South Bay Wound Care. This is especially important for those with diabetes or poor circulation. Chronic wounds may not respond well to treatment for infection and inflammation. A wound that has not improved in four weeks or healed completely in eight weeks is considered a chronic, non-healing wound.
