Post-surgical wound care · University City
Post-surgical wound treatment in University City — at the bedside.
An incision that opens, drains, or stalls after discharge needs eyes on it — quickly, and more often than a clinic schedule allows. Our clinicians treat post-surgical wounds, dehiscence, and slow-to-close incisions at home and in facilities, with infection monitoring and direct communication back to the operating surgeon. In University City, that means treating patients at home, in senior living, and in skilled nursing facilities near Washington University, Clayton, and the central corridor — without asking anyone to arrange transport to a wound clinic.
