Wound Assessment
At Wound Care St. Augustine, every patient begins with a thorough, personalized wound assessment. We take the time to carefully evaluate your wound’s type, size, depth, appearance, and surrounding tissue — so we can create a treatment plan tailored to your unique healing needs.
An In-Depth Approach
Wound assessment is the first step in treating chronic or non-healing wounds. We begin with a thorough process that includes a comprehensive head-to-toe examination and a detailed review of the patient’s medical history to accurately evaluate the wound’s cause, severity, and optimal treatment plan.
What to Expect During Your Wound Assessment
Wound Care St. Augustine’s complete wound assessment goes beyond what we can see. We review your overall health, medications, medical history, and lifestyle factors — giving us a clear picture of what’s helping (or slowing down) your healing process.
When you visit Wound Care St. Augustine, our first priority is to understand your unique situation. After our review of your overall health, we continue the assessment by evaluating the wound’s location, size, depth, color, and any visible signs of infection. We also examine the surrounding tissue, drainage, and symptoms that could affect your healing.

Every wound is different — and so is every patient. That’s why we tailor your care plan based on the results of your assessment, ensuring you’re getting the most effective treatment from the start.
