Wonderful healing doctor and staff. They take care of the wound like you were a family member. Very caring and on top of the game of healing wounds and making you fell good about the fantastic healing process. They follow through with everything that is needed to have the best outcome. Highly recommended.

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. Her staff is also the best I have found. You will be very pleased you selected them!

My experience was awesome. The doctor could feel something under the sore located below my eye brow that would not heal. She was able to get me in to a dermatologist the same day. The dermatologist cut out a sample from the sore and I will know results by Tuesday. The dermatologist suspects it is basal cell carcinoma cancer. I am so thankful she got me into see the dermatologist. I will be forever grateful for her seeing me.

This was my first experience with wounds that were not healing and causing severe stinging pain. I had a very positive experience with professional & caring nurses and Doctor. Pain has been reduced and looking forward to total healing so I can get back to normal. Dermatologist wounds to remove squamous ceil carcinoma skin issues were not healing properly on Right leg shin area. cell carcinoma issues.

On March 19th, [2024], I finished my 40th treatment with HBO2 indicated for my condition. At the beginning I was very anxious, for several days my blood pressure went up minutes before going in. Then I started trusting the people in charge and feeling more comfortable. I started adapting to the process of going in and out and also decompressing my ears. After several days, I started feeling more energetic, I have more stamina, while walking a mile every day, and my pulse is getting lower. I think HBO2 is very beneficial for treatment of many conditions and hope the in the near future it will be approved as prevention in many more conditions.
