Your Care Team

Expert Care for Wound Healing and Amputation Prevention

Our wound healing center in Torrance is staffed with a multidisciplinary team of physicians, along with nurses and technicians with advanced training in wound care, who will customize the most effective treatment plan to stimulate healing.

Comprised of general physicians, vascular and plastic surgeons, podiatrists and infectious disease physicians, our team is dedicated to providing the most advanced healing options to patients allowing them to recover as quickly as possible. 

Our staff includes nurses, physical therapists and healthcare technicians, in addition to several physicians, including a foot and ankle surgeon and a vascular specialist. Also, since the majority of patients we treat have diabetic foot ulcers, we provide coordinated care with a team of doctors who specialize in treating complications of diabetes, including:

  • Podiatrist
  • Vascular surgeon
  • Plastic surgeon
  • Hyperbaric specialist
  • Diabetologist
  • Nephrologist
  • Cardiologist

We Help Coordinate All Aspects of Your Care

We offer navigation assistance, with a team member focused on coordinating necessary appointments for lab work, imaging and other diagnostic services and managing communications between you, your family, your physician, your health insurance provider and the members of your care team.

We make arrangements for home health care and for admission to skilled nursing facilities, if needed.

Also, since some patients require admission to the hospital for surgical intervention, we provide a case manager who oversees the coordination of care through the inpatient-outpatient process.
