Wound Care

Advanced Wound Care

Chronic and complex wounds require a coordinated, evidence-based approach. Dr. O'Carroll provides comprehensive wound care across the Central Coast.

A Disciplined Process

Successful wound care follows a disciplined sequence: identify the cause, optimize blood flow, control infection, debride nonviable tissue, manage moisture and pressure, and select the right adjunct therapy for the wound type and stage.

What Dr. O’Carroll Provides

  • Vascular and metabolic assessment
  • Sharp debridement at every visit
  • Targeted infection control with cultures and imaging
  • Offloading with total contact casts, walkers, or specialty footwear
  • Bioengineered skin substitutes and growth factor preparations for chronic wounds
  • Coordination with vascular surgery, infectious disease, and primary care

What to Expect

Most chronic wounds require weekly or bi-weekly visits over weeks to months. Healing rates accelerate dramatically when each component of the plan is executed consistently.
