Dr. Reza Mobarak provides advanced wound care supported by years of experience in diabetic wound management, limb salvage, and the treatment of non-healing wounds. He is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (FACFAS) and a member of the American Professional Wound Care Association (FAPWCA). His comprehensive assessments and treatment plans help patients heal safely and protect long-term foot and leg health.
Many wounds will heal with simple home care. Others need specialized attention, especially when diabetes, circulation issues, or nerve damage are involved.
Expert Wound Care
If you are experiencing pain or have concerns about your foot or ankle health, we are here to help.
How We Diagnose and Treat Wounds
Managing a non-healing wound is about much more than dressing the surface. Each patient receives an individualized plan that may include:
Detailed examination of the wound and surrounding tissue
Review of medical history, circulation, and nerve function
Wound cleaning and debridement to remove dead or infected tissue
Advanced dressings and topical treatments
Compression therapy when circulation and swelling are part of the problem
Offloading techniques and pressure relief, including special footwear or devices
Laser therapy as an advanced option for certain wounds
Negative pressure therapy or other advanced technologies when needed
Education for patients and families on at-home care and prevention
Whenever possible, treatment focuses on conservative care first. In rare, severe cases where infection or tissue damage threatens a patient’s overall health, amputation of a toe or part of the foot may be discussed as a last resort. Dr. Mobarak’s goal is always to preserve limb function and prevent these outcomes whenever possible.
Advanced Laser Therapy for Wounds
For some non-healing or chronic wounds, laser therapy can support the body’s natural healing process. Using advanced medical laser technology, treatment helps:
Improve circulation in the treated area
Reduce pain and inflammation
Support tissue repair and regeneration
Laser therapy is painless and non-invasive, and can be used alongside other wound care treatments when appropriate. Dr. Mobarak will determine whether this option is right for your specific wound.
Wound Care FAQ
-
Wound care management focuses on assessing, treating, and monitoring open or closed wounds so they can heal properly. The goal is to prevent infection, protect healthy tissue, and support the body’s natural healing process.
-
Some wounds, especially diabetic wounds and ulcers, are difficult to heal on their own. Without proper care, they can become infected, spread deeper into tissue and bone, and increase the risk of serious complications, including amputation. Early, expert wound care helps reduce those risks.
-
Diabetes can affect blood sugar levels, circulation, and nerve function. Poor circulation slows healing. Nerve damage (neuropathy) can make it hard to feel pain or notice small cuts. These changes allow small wounds to become larger, infected, and difficult to heal if they are not treated promptly.
