When does a wound need specialized treatment?
- If you have circulation problems
- If you have diabetes
- If you have a wound older than 2 weeks?
Getting the same treatment for the same wound with no improvement

Success Stories
I have to come to know Dr. Brucato and her staff through a friend. Dr. Brucato was recommended very highly. I had an open wound that was being treated by another doctor for months without success. Dr. Brucato used a different approach that healed my wound in the first six weeks. I am so happy to say she is amazing!
