Wound Care
Our walk-in clinic in Sanford is here for you when your kid wakes up with a fever, you tweak your back at work, or you simply don’t have time to schedule a routine check-up.
We’re open for the real everyday stuff. The stuff that can’t wait, but doesn’t need a trip to the ER. The sore throats, minor sprains, mystery rashes, and school physicals. Just walk in, be seen, and get on with your day conveniently.
Why Immediate Wound Care Matters
Not every scrape or cut needs a doctor, but some absolutely do. When wounds aren’t properly cleaned, monitored, or dressed, they can lead to infections, delayed healing, or even long-term complications.
Chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, post-surgical incisions, and traumatic injuries all require specialized attention. Our wound care specialists are trained to assess the type of wound you have, understand the cause, and develop a treatment plan that supports both recovery and comfort.
And here’s the best part: you don’t need a referral or appointment to get started. At our wound care center, we’re ready when you need us.
How We Provide Wound Care Services
Healing shouldn’t be a guesswork. At Rapid Care, our wound care doctors take time to understand not just your wound, but your whole health picture. Here’s how our process works:
Thorough Assessment
We examine the wound’s size, depth, location, and cause. We’ll also ask about your medical history, medications, and lifestyle factors.
Gentle Cleaning
Keeping wounds clean is essential to healing. We use safe, effective techniques to prevent infection and promote recovery.
Advanced Dressing and Protection
Depending on the type of wound, we’ll apply appropriate dressings like hydrocolloids, foam, or antimicrobial wraps to protect the area and encourage cell repair.
Ongoing Monitoring
Healing takes time. Our wound care doctors will schedule follow-up visits (if needed) and guide you on how to care for the wound at home.
Pain Management and Prevention Tips
Your comfort matters. We’ll help manage discomfort and offer guidance on how to prevent future wounds, especially for patients with diabetes or mobility issues.
