Whether your wound is small or complex, we make it easy for you to receive fast, healing treatment. You do not need a doctor’s referral to schedule an appointment, and there’s no delay — typically, you’ll be seen within seven days.

If you have a wound of any size that is slow to heal, you can contact the Comprehensive Wound Center for an appointment

• This is especially true if you are in an "at risk" category: diabetes, heart condition, peripheral artery disease, smoke, or have experienced a previous slow-to-heal wound
• Ohio State experts can help you prevent a more serious wound complication, such as limb amputation
• A physician's referral is not needed

The Limb Preservation Program at the Ohio State Comprehensive Wound Center combines wound healing expertise and the most advanced techniques to avoid amputation and save limbs. A multidisciplinary team (experts in vascular medicine, podiatry,  and plastic and general surgery) will work with each patient to determine the cause of the condition that is threatening the limb and determine a course of healing treatment aimed at preserving that limb and preventing future complications. 

 Individuals, especially those at risk for wound healing problems, are encouraged to visit the Ohio State Comprehensive Wound Center before serious complications arise.

• Services are also open to any individual who have a slow-healing wound
• Are at risk for wound complications
• If you have treated elsewhere and would like a second opinion or additional healing support
