Dr. Parker has over 14 years of experience in wound care and limb salvage procedures. The majority of wound patients are diabetic or have impaired circulation. Effective wound care begins with a thorough assesment of the health of the entire patient. Issues such as control of blood sugar, nutritional status and circulation are major factors that govern the wound healing process. Dr. Parker believes in a team approach to the wound care patient. That means working with the area's top vascular surgeons, internists and diabetic specialists to ensure that an optimum environment for wound healing exists.

Wound healing science goes far beyond applying the latest wound care products. At Conway Podiatry's Wound Care Center, patients are treated as more than just wounds. This means coordinating care with other specialists and providing services such as custom shoes and supports.
