Diabetic foot ulcers are caused by a combination of factors, primarily poor circulation (peripheral arterial disease) and nerve damage (neuropathy). People with diabetes often experience reduced blood flow to their feet, making it harder for wounds to heal. Nerve damage can cause loss of sensation, leading to unnoticed injuries that can develop into ulcers.
Venous leg ulcers develop due to venous insufficiency, a condition where blood doesn’t flow properly back to the heart from the legs. The increased pressure causes damage to the skin, leading to the formation of ulcers, usually around the ankle or lower leg.

Every treatment plan is tailored to the unique needs of the patient, ensuring the best path to healing.
For patients who cannot easily come to the office, we bring our care to you, ensuring comfort and convenience.
From wound debridement to skin substitutes and compression therapy, we use the latest techniques for faster, more effective healing.
We address the root causes of slow healing, including diabetes and poor circulation, for long-term success.
We begin with a detailed evaluation to understand the wound, its causes, and any underlying conditions like diabetes or venous insufficiency.
A personalized plan is created, including advanced wound care techniques like debridement, dressings, offloading, or compression therapy.
Regular follow-ups ensure the wound is healing as expected. For patients in Toms River and the surrounding area, we offer flexible in-office or home visits to check progress.
We educate patients and their families on proper wound care, foot care, and lifestyle changes to prevent future ulcers.
