Before your appointment
Bring the details
of your hospital or ER visit.
Use the approved clinical channel our team provides for records. Missing paperwork is not an automatic barrier; contact our team to discuss what is available.
- Your hospital or ER discharge instructions and procedure details
- Your medication list and any recommended recheck dates
- Questions about dressings, activity, or recovery
Common questions
Before your follow-up.
Can everything be checked by video?
No. Some concerns can start with telehealth, but procedures and wounds or injuries requiring a hands-on examination need an in-person visit. The team confirms the appropriate setting.
Can I text a photo of my wound?
Ask our team for the approved clinical channel for medical photos. General text messages are for scheduling. A photo does not replace a clinical evaluation.
Follow your discharge return precautions. Worsening symptoms or an urgent concern should not wait for a routine appointment. Procedures depend on assessment and availability.
