About Dr. Heather Hutchings
Dr. Hutchings’ journey into wound care and hyperbaric medicine began with her desire to help patients heal optimally. After earning her medical degree from the University of Pikeville – Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine, she helped build wound care programs in two different hospital systems before establishing Limb Preservation Center of East Tennessee.
Dr. Hutchings now treats a range of conditions at the Lenoir City clinic, from diabetic ulcers to radiation burns and surgical wounds. Her advanced wound care strategies include cutting-edge techniques like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and wound debridement, ensuring her patients receive treatment unlike any wound care center they’ve been to before.

Here’s how one patient described their experience with Dr. Hutchings:
“I have been to 11 Wound Care Centers across three states over the past few years, with a need to treat 26 individual venous leg ulcers. This is without a doubt, the very best center I have found and I recommend them to anyone who is suffering from any type of wound that will not heal. Dr. Hutchings is the very best doctor, knowledgeable, professional, experienced, personable, caring and determined to help the patient.”
