What to Expect

When you visit a Banner Health wound care clinic, you’ll be welcomed by compassionate specialists ready to help you heal. We work closely with you and your doctor to create a personalized treatment plan. You can feel confident knowing you’re in expert hands.

Special care dedicated to you

At your first appointment, our wound care specialist will review your medical history and carefully examine your wound. Then, we’ll create a treatment plan to help you heal as quickly and safely as possible.

Once your plan is in place, we’ll guide you through every step of the healing process. This may include:

  • Teaching you how to care for your wound at home
  • Helping you get the supplies you need
  • Coordinating any tests your doctor orders
  • Updating your doctor on your progress

Will I need tests?

Your doctor may order diagnostic tests -  such as lab work, imaging or circulation studies  -  to help guide your treatment.

Some tests can be done at home, while others may require a clinic visit. Your case manager will coordinate all tests, help with insurance authorizations if needed and ensure you get results quickly.

What to expect after treatment starts

We’ll give you clear instructions to help your wound heal and prevent new injuries. These may include:

  • Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated
  • Taking medications as prescribed
  • Wearing proper footwear or protective clothing
  • Following your at-home wound care steps
  • Practicing good handwashing and other prevention measures

We’ll be with you throughout your care, making sure you have the support you need for recovery.
