01 / Context
Why outpatient surgical access matters for complex wound patients.
Patients with chronic wounds face fragmented care, long referral waits, and avoidable hospitalizations. Delayed surgical intervention is a leading driver of infection progression, emergency admission, and lower-extremity amputation — particularly in underserved communities.
85%
Amputations preceded by a foot ulcer
Most preventable with timely wound and surgical care.
5year
Mortality after major amputation
Exceeds that of most solid-organ cancers.

04 / For Referring Providers
Common questions from PCPs, FQHCs, and SNFs.
Everything a referring provider needs to know before sending the first patient our way.
01 How do I submit a referral?
Email, phone, or direct coordination all work. Clinic referrals: 202.861.2971. Surgical referrals: 202.861.8040. General: info@cwswounds.com.
02 How quickly will my patient be seen?
Most urgent wound referrals are scheduled the same week. Non-urgent referrals typically within ten business days.
03 What insurance plans do you accept?
Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial plans. Please call 202.861.2971 to verify coverage for a specific patient.
04 Will I receive clinical updates?
Yes. A structured encounter note is returned to the referring PCP, FQHC care team, or SNF clinician after every visit — closing the loop back to the medical home.
05 Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. Dr. Wounds tele-wound consults at drwounds.doxy.me support triage, wound assessment, and dressing guidance — useful for partner clinics without on-site specialty wound care.
