Drs. Ryan and Shaynah Goldfine are foot wound care specialists. If you are at risk of developing a foot ulcer, or currently have a foot ulcer, please schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Your Podiatrist might assist by cleaning unhealthy tissue in the wound, taking x-rays, culturing the wound, prescribing antibiotics, or by ordering an MRI/CT/ultrasound. Sometimes if necessary, grafts or other advanced materials are prescribed and applied.
Foot surgery might be necessary depending on the cause and extent of the foot ulcer. While it is important for proper treatment, our Podiatrists are experts at helping to prevent the wounds from coming back once they are healed.
Wound care is a team effort that involves your podiatrist, primary care physician, and possibly other specialists. Our physicians have an extensive background in wound care treatment and limb salvage. Ulcer debridement and applying the proper topicals and dressings to the foot wound are very important to promote healing. There are various approaches that our wound care doctors might use to help heal a foot wound.
Diabetic leg ulcers and diabetic sores need immediate care. Please feel free to reach out to our physicians!
