Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Medicine
Wounds and Injuries can be caused by accidents, falls, hits, diseases such as diabetes or peripheral arerial disease.
Such wounds often present with pain in the affected area, swelling, bruising, bleeding, rupture of vital organs.
Treatment depends on the type, cause and depth of the wound.
Minor wounds heal on their own and do not require treatment but depending on the types of injury and the extent – slow or non-healing wounds can be primarily or secondarily life-threatening.


Chronic wound care treatment calls for
physicians and staff who are extensively
trained.
Premier Valley's partnership with
Good Samaritan Wound Center allows
quick access to those highly trained providers
at our Aldrin court location.
Good Samaritan Wound care is under
the leadership of
Dr. Kapadia and Teresa Brown LVN.
Your medical provider can request
authorization from your health insurance.
Most appointments can be scheduled within
a couple of days of authorization
and request being received by our office.
Kern Health system members do not require
prior authorization for evaluations,
we can submit plan of care and request
for authorization on your behalf
for any future visits.
