Expert Care for Chronic and Non-Healing Wounds
Some wounds need more than basic treatment. If a wound has been difficult to heal on its own or has not responded to standard care, our wound specialists can help identify what is slowing the healing process and build a treatment plan around your needs.
At Hamilton Wound + Hyperbaric Services, we care for a wide range of complex wounds, including:
- Venous ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Non-healing surgical wounds
- Trauma wounds
- Pressure ulcers
- Burns
- Peristomal skin irritation and ostomy-related concerns
- Wounds related to swelling, infection, cancer, or connective tissue disease
- Other wounds that are slow to heal or keep returning
Advanced Wound Treatments Designed Around You
Our outpatient wound care program offers advanced therapies and proven treatment options tailored to each patient’s condition, health history, and healing goals.

Whether you are managing a diabetic wound, a post-surgical wound, or another complex condition, our team is focused on delivering the right care at the right time.
A Team-Based Approach to Healing
Wound healing often involves more than one specialty. That is why our team works closely with experts across multiple areas of care to support the best possible outcomes.
Our wound care team collaborates with specialists in:
- Internal medicine
- Surgery
- Endocrinology
- Infectious disease
- Podiatry
- Diabetes education
- Nutrition services
- Laboratory services
- Lymphedema care
- Home health
- Radiology
This coordinated approach helps us address the factors that may be preventing healing and gives patients a more complete plan of care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a chronic, non-healing wound?
What are the causes of chronic wounds?
There are usually many factors involved. Most commonly, patients have infections, inflammation, diabetes, inadequate blood supply, chronic swelling of the lower extremities, pressure ulcers, non-healing surgical incisions, trauma wounds, burns, damage from radiation therapy, or a history of collagen vascular disease such as scleroderma or rheumatoid arthritis.
Will I have to change my primary care doctor or specialist?
No, in fact, we prefer to work with your physician during your wound treatments. We will keep your doctor informed of your progress. While you are receiving treatment from Hamilton Wound and Hyperbaric Services, you will continue to receive all of your routine care from your primary care physician.
Does insurance cover the services at the Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center?
Medicare, Medicaid, and most health insurance providers cover the services provided by Hamilton Wound and Hyperbaric Services.
What can I expect at the first appointment?
Our staff will evaluate your wound and review your medical history to determine all health factors that may be contributing to your wound. Lab work and/or other special tests that provide information about blood and oxygen flow to the wound area may be ordered. The team will then initiate a treatment plan designed specifically for you. You should expect to spend a couple of hours at the office for your first visit.
What will my treatment involve?
When your test results are in, a treatment plan will be designed based on your special needs. The program will include regular visits to Hamilton Wound and Hyperbaric Services for treatment and evaluation of your progress. If necessary, other healthcare providers may be included in your plan of care to address all the contributing factors to your wound. You and/or your caregiver will be educated in proper techniques in dressing changes, wound protection, and prevention.
