Wound Care Services
For most people, dealing with a problem wound can be difficult and frustrating. Non-healing wounds that are a result of trauma, surgery, complications with diabetes or pressure ulcers, often require an aggressive multidisciplinary team approach. Dedicated to restoring health and mobility to patients living with a persistent wound, The Wound Care Center of Appalachian Regional Healthcare System offers that multidisciplinary team approach necessary to help you heal. Paul S. Dagher, MD of Watauga Surgical Group serves as the Medical Director of The Wound Care Center.
