Prompt treatment is key to preventing potentially life-threatening infections. We offer advanced diagnostic tests and the latest treatments for all types of nonhealing wounds.

Wound Care at Cleveland Clinic in Florida: Why Choose Us?

Our team provides expert inpatient and outpatient wound care services that promote healing and lower your risk of complications. You benefit from:

  • Comprehensive diagnostic tests: Pinpointing the cause of a wound — and why it’s slow to heal — is vital for effective long-term treatment. We perform in-depth wound assessments and diagnostic tests. Learn how we diagnose nonhealing wounds.
  • Focus on vascular health: Poor blood flow can lead to chronic wounds and slow healing. Our wound care services are part of vascular medicine, which focuses on blood circulation issues. You receive care from a vascular-trained wound specialist. This level of expertise at wound centers is rare. See the conditions we treat.
