Initial consults, second opinions and routine wound care.
Including wound vac (NPWT), pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers and venous stasis ulcers that are chronic or recurring. We work with your primary care provider and specialists for coordinated care.
Lower cost of care
Copays are typically significantly lower at our outpatient center than at hospital-based wound care centers.
Wound management
A full history and physical, a thorough wound assessment and debridement, mechanical or chemical, with every wound fully numbed first. Dressings, home health or supplies are coordinated through your benefits, including negative pressure wound therapy (wound vac). We see you weekly, following medical standards of care.
Ultrasound and ABI
For leg ulcers, a lower extremity ultrasound checks for venous reflux and an ankle-brachial index measures arterial blood flow, so we find the true cause.
Vein ablation
For venous wounds, closing the refluxing vein through a single IV site is essential to healing and to keep the wound from reopening. It is safe for patients with many conditions, including amputations, heart conditions, atrial fibrillation and pacemakers.
Microphlebectomy
When a larger surface vein is refluxing into the wound, removing it can speed healing.
Foam sclerotherapy
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, with FDA-approved sclerosants, treats nearby veins feeding the wound.
Laser treatment
Nd:YAG laser treats very small surface veins through the skin.
A wound that won't heal needs a closer look.
Call for a wound care consult or a second opinion. We coordinate with your primary care provider.
Swelling you can manage, at home.
Lymphedema is swelling of an arm or leg caused by a lymphatic system that can't drain properly. Present for more than six months, it is considered chronic.
Primary
Often hereditary. Usually present from birth, though it may not develop until later in life.
Secondary
Caused by damage to lymphatic valves, lymph node removal, trauma or severe infection.
Infection risk
Lymphangitis is often misdiagnosed as chronic cellulitis, leading to repeated antibiotics and wraps. Proper management breaks the cycle.
International Society of Lymphology stages
Pressing leaves a pit that slowly fills. Elevation may reduce swelling. Little or no hardening, usually reversible.
Swelling no longer pits and elevation helps little. Untreated, tissue gradually hardens.
Significant skin changes and possible fluid leakage. Responds to treatment, though rarely reversible.

When they can't exercise, help them get strong.
Las Vegas Vein's muscle stimulation systems use safe, low-amplitude electrical stimulation to strengthen muscles for people who have lost significant muscle for any reason.
Physical therapy requires active participation, and some people simply can't do it. Stimulation strengthens muscles isometrically, and progress is tracked with simple tools like the Get Up and Go test, so there's no need for expensive testing at multiple facilities.
It may be right for you if you
- Can't exercise because of a medical condition
- Are recovering from surgery
- Have trouble getting up from a chair
- Need bridge therapy from not walking to walking again
- Use a walker or cane and want better balance
Treatment sessions are covered by insurance when they are a covered benefit.
A wound that won't heal deserves answers.
We treat the wound and look for the cause underneath, so it can heal and stay healed.
