A diabetic ulcer is not a routine wound. It affects a small share of people but carries an over 50% risk of amputation or worse, and it rarely heals on its own. Most practices treat it passively, one basic step at a time, a month at a time, so the wound lingers far longer than it should. We do the opposite. We turn a chronic wound acute and force it to heal, using whatever gets the fastest result on day one, whether that is offloading, grafts, MIST, PRP, or surgery. The moment a treatment stops working, we change the plan instead of waiting. If you have a wound that will not heal, you want someone who treats it with real urgency.
Every patient works directly with Dr. Barnett in a high-touch, personalized environment built on trust, attention, and genuine care.
We take the time to understand the true root cause of your condition, explain it clearly, and walk you through every treatment option with confidence.
Your treatment plan is tailored to your condition, goals, and lifestyle, with clear guidance and ongoing support from start to finish.
