A New Approach to Wound Care in Visalia
Before launching West Coast Wound Center, essentially all of our medical professionals worked in traditional hospital settings. They observed firsthand how patients would receive treatment for wounds, return home, and then come back repeatedly for the same services—often without any long-term plan or education on self-care. This endless cycle placed a burden on patients and their families while doing little to promote long-lasting recovery.
Instead of having patients stay stuck in the same loop, our founders envisioned a model where care could work differently. —on their schedule, in their space, with support they could rely on. That’s how our mission was born: deliver personalized, expert wound care in Visalia, without the added hardship of constant travel.
We’re proud to now offer local, high-quality wound treatment through our new Visalia location. We have other centers throughout the state. Drawing upon that experience, we will provide the same level of care that patients across California have come to expect from us.
Repeatedly traveling far outside Visalia for wound treatment can be overwhelming, especially for patients with mobility limitations. We aim to reduce that stress by offering services that minimize—or eliminate—the need for frequent travel to hospitals or other providers. Instead of navigating complex medical systems, you can receive individualized care right here in Visalia.
Our facility is designed to be a one-stop solution for complex wound care, delivering top-tier service tailored to each patient. We prioritize efficiency, accuracy, and empathy in everything we do.
The Conditions We Treat in Visalia
At West Coast Wound Center in Visalia, we specialize in managing a wide spectrum of wounds, skin conditions, and complex dermatological concerns. Our team of Visalia clinicians is trained to handle both acute and chronic cases with precision and care, always prioritizing patient comfort, safety, and long-term healing.
Post-Surgical
These can arise from a variety of operations and often require vigilant aftercare to heal properly. Without the right follow-up, these wounds can become infected, reopen, or develop complications.
That’s why our Visalia wound care professionals closely monitor surgical wounds, ensuring that they’re cleaned, dressed, and treated using the most advanced methods available. Our ongoing care helps reduce pain and inflammation while minimizing the risk of setbacks during recovery.
Malignant Wounds
Often caused by cancer or severe infections with the potential to erode skin, tissue, and blood vessels, these can be particularly difficult for patients. Not only are these physically damaging—they can be emotionally damaging, too.
Our approach combines clinical expertise with compassionate support, ensuring that each patient receives thoughtful and personalized care that addresses both the malignant wound and the underlying health condition.
Cellulitis
Left untreated, cellulitis may lead to serious health complications, including systemic infections. This fast-spreading bacterial infection can penetrate deep into the skin and surrounding tissues. It often presents with swelling, redness, warmth, and pain and can quickly escalate without intervention.
Our team is equipped to identify and address cellulitis early, applying targeted therapies that halt the infection’s progression and help patients return to health quickly.
Traumatic Injuries
Cuts, abrasions, punctures, and bites—whether caused by accidents, animal interactions, or blunt force—require timely, attentive care to avoid infection and scarring. At our Visalia clinic, we treat these wounds with urgency and care, applying advanced cleaning methods, precision dressings, and customized healing protocols to restore the skin and underlying tissues as safely and thoroughly as possible.
No matter our patients’ wounds, our mission remains the same: to provide effective treatment that promotes safe, fast, and effective recovery.
Ulcer Care and Treatment
Our team has extensive experience treating diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, ulcers caused by poor circulation, (such as venous and arterial ulcers), and more. These wounds are often slow to heal and prone to infection, particularly when underlying health issues like diabetes or vascular disease are at play.
Diabetic Ulcers
For those with diabetes, small cuts or blisters—especially on the feet—can evolve into large, difficult-to-heal wounds. Poor blood flow, nerve damage, and high glucose levels make these ulcers particularly vulnerable to infection.
In Visalia, we use a combination of offloading techniques, blood sugar management coordination, and wound-specific treatments to support healing and prevent complications like gangrene or amputation.
Pressure Ulcers
Pressure ulcers can develop over bony areas of the body where blood flow is restricted, and tissue begins to break down. Our care plans for pressure ulcers involve relieving pressure, enhancing circulation, and applying targeted therapies that promote tissue regeneration.
Venous and Arterial Ulcers
When blood doesn’t flow properly to or from the limbs, skin tissue can break down. Venous ulcers, often seen near the ankles, are related to poor return of blood to the heart, while arterial ulcers arise from blocked arteries that limit blood flow to extremities.
In both cases, our approach involves addressing the circulatory issue in conjunction with topical and systemic treatments to aid recovery and relieve discomfort.
Cancerous Lesions, Skin Infections, and Related Conditions
In Visalia, we also provide expert care for a wide range of skin conditions.
Our clinicians are experienced in identifying and treating basal cell carcinoma, which is the most common form of skin cancer, as well as squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, which can be more aggressive and dangerous if not caught early.
We treat keratoacanthomas—rapidly growing lesions that resemble squamous cell carcinoma—as well as non-cancerous but concerning growths like seborrheic keratosis and actinic keratosis, which may become malignant over time.
For these conditions, we employ careful wound management alongside biopsies, excisions, or topical therapies, depending on the individual diagnosis. Our focus is always on reducing risk while preserving healthy tissue and minimizing scarring.
In terms of infections, we regularly treat herpes simplex, which presents as recurring blisters or sores, and shingles (herpes zoster), which often results in painful, blistering rashes. These conditions not only require symptom relief but also close monitoring to prevent spread and complications.
Staph infections, including antibiotic-resistant strains, are a serious threat if left untreated. We quickly diagnose and address these infections with wound cleaning, drainage (if needed), and targeted antibiotic treatment. These cases benefit from prompt identification and a combination of topical and systemic care to fully eradicate the source of the infection.
Inflammatory Skin Conditions
Not every skin issue stems from trauma or infection. Inflammatory skin conditions are often chronic, cyclical, and closely tied to a person’s immune system or environmental triggers. At our Visalia clinic, we regularly care for patients suffering from these.
Psoriasis
Characterized by thick, red, scaly patches of skin that can itch, crack, or bleed, psoriasis may flare up in response to stress, illness, or injury. Our team works with each patient to tailor a treatment plan that includes topical agents, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, immunosuppressive therapies.
Rosacea
Rosacea, a condition that leads to persistent facial redness, bumps, and visible blood vessels, can be distressing to patients. Similarly, intertrigo—an inflammation caused by skin-to-skin friction in warm, moist areas—is common in individuals with limited mobility or excess weight. Both of these conditions can respond well to careful skin management, medical guidance, and more.
Eczema
This leads to dry, inflamed, and itchy skin, and it’s often linked to allergies, asthma, or a family history of similar conditions. Seborrheic dermatitis—affecting oily areas like the scalp and face—can appear as stubborn dandruff or red, scaly patches.
Among our treatments, we can provide targeted skin care routines, gentle topical medications, and education on how to reduce triggers and maintain skin integrity.
Additional Conditions We Treat
Even if your specific diagnosis isn’t mentioned here, chances are that we can still help. Many of our patients come to us with skin issues that don’t fall neatly into a single category. These include heat rashes, dry and itchy skin, drug reactions, sun damage, and skin atrophy. All of these can be painful, irritating, or indicative of a deeper issue—and all require proper evaluation and care.
At West Coast Wound Center in Visalia, we treat each case individually, taking the time to understand your symptoms and recommend a plan tailored to your needs. We encourage you to reach out if you’re uncertain about your condition. Our team is always here to listen, assess, and provide a healing path forward.
Comprehensive Wound Care Options
Each wound presents its own challenges, which is why we begin with a thorough evaluation of your needs. By understanding the full picture, we’re able to tailor our approach and choose the treatment plan that fits your situation best.
Some of our most effective treatment modalities include:
- Surgical Debridement: We remove damaged or dead tissue to promote healing and minimize infection risk. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure precision and safety.
- Skin Grafting: For wounds that are slow to close or need structural support, we apply healthy skin to accelerate healing and encourage tissue regeneration.
- Vacuum-Assisted Closure (Wound Vac): This therapy uses gentle suction over a cleaned and dressed wound to remove excess fluid, bring the edges together, and stimulate new tissue growth.
These are just a few examples. We offer many additional treatments, all customized to the patient’s condition and recovery goals.
More Than Just Wound Care
Healing a wound requires more than just dressing it. At West Coast Wound Center, we provide whole-person care, taking into account the physical, nutritional, and emotional needs of each patient.
Our team evaluates both internal and external factors that may be slowing your healing. Poor nutrition, immobility, or underlying health conditions can all interfere with recovery, so we address those concerns with a comprehensive strategy.
We work in collaboration with other healthcare professionals in your care network, including:
- Primary care doctors
- Nutritionists
- Physical therapists
- Many others
By involving caregivers in the process and providing education every step of the way, we ensure that the healing continues beyond our direct treatment.

Our Visalia team provides detailed instructions for managing dressings, recognizing signs of infection, maintaining hygiene, and so much more. That way, you’re prepared for the time between visits.
