Built to give stalled wounds a pathway.
Founded in 2015. Ambulatory surgical suite opened 2018, because the gap between conservative wound care and appropriate surgical intervention had become a place where patients got lost.
The numbers behind the why.
Complex wound patients face fragmented care, long referral waits, and avoidable hospitalizations. Delayed surgical evaluation drives infection progression, emergency admission, and lower-extremity amputation, particularly in underserved communities.
Amputations preceded by a foot ulcer
Most preventable with timely wound and surgical care.
Mortality after major amputation
Exceeds that of most solid-organ cancers.
Disparity in amputation rates
Medicaid-insured and Black patients versus commercially insured cohorts.
Annual U.S. spend
Diabetic-foot complications, largely preventable.
Our surgical center provides timely, coordinated access to interventions that support healing and keep patients in the community, closing the gap between conservative wound care and appropriate surgical intervention. Jonathan Johnson, MD · Surgical Director
Led by a board-certified wound-care surgeon.
Our care is anchored by clinicians with combined fellowship training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, wound management, and healthcare administration, delivering surgical decisions grounded in outcomes, not volume.
