Advanced Wound Care in San Dimas
We treat hard-to-heal wounds with advanced dressings, grafts, and other therapies, backed by Dr. Oghoorian's extensive wound care experience.
Wounds We Treat
Different wounds require different care. We look at what's preventing healing, including pressure, circulation, infection risk, and the condition of the wound itself, before deciding how to treat it.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Diabetes can make foot wounds slower to heal and easier to miss, especially when sensation or circulation is reduced.
Treatment starts with a close assessment of the wound, circulation, infection risk, and the amount of pressure being placed on the area. Care may include offloading, wound cleaning or debridement, advanced dressings, and additional therapies when appropriate. Regular follow-up lets us track healing and adjust treatment if the wound isn't improving as expected.
Chronic, Non-Healing Wounds
When a wound isn't making progress, we look for what may be keeping it from healing.
Poor circulation, repeated pressure, infection, and other health factors can all interfere with healing. Dr. Oghoorian evaluates the wound and its underlying cause before recommending care, which may include specialized dressings, debridement, pressure relief, grafts, or other advanced wound therapies based on the individual wound.
Venous Wounds
Poor blood return from the legs can lead to swelling, skin changes, and wounds that are difficult to heal.
Treatment addresses both the open wound and the circulation problem contributing to it. Depending on your vascular health, care may include compression, specialized dressings, swelling management, and regular monitoring of healing progress.
Pressure Wounds
Constant pressure on one area of the foot can damage the skin and tissue underneath.
A major part of treatment is reducing pressure on the wound so the tissue has a chance to heal. Dr. Oghoorian may recommend offloading, protective footwear or devices, appropriate wound dressings, and close monitoring for changes or signs of infection.

A wound is generally considered chronic if it hasn't shown meaningful improvement within about four to six weeks of standard care.

The best treatment depends on the wound's depth and cause, but often combines grafts or advanced dressings with offloading and, when appropriate, PRP to support healing.
Healing timelines vary widely by wound type and patient health, but many chronic wounds show meaningful progress within four to eight weeks of starting advanced treatment.
