Diabetic Wound Care & Foot Wound Treatment in Memphis, TN
Board-certified diabetic wound care and foot wound treatment for Memphis patients — diabetic foot ulcers, non-healing wounds, infected wounds, and post-surgical wounds. about 20 minutes from Memphis to our Southaven office.
Foot Health Centers provides specialized wound care for Memphis, TN patients from our Southaven office at 928 Goodman Road East. Michael G.

Non-healing foot wounds can quickly become serious. Delayed wound care in diabetic patients is a leading cause of foot infections, hospital admissions, and amputations. If you're in Memphis and have a foot wound that hasn't healed in two weeks — or any sign of infection — please call 662-449-3663 the same day.
Plenty of South Memphis patients find it faster to drive to Southaven than to cross town to a Memphis hospital campus. Our office has surface parking at the door, short waits, and the same board-certified surgeons at every visit — not a rotating roster.
Memphis patients most often come to us for diabetic wound care and limb salvage, second opinions on recommended amputations, bunion and hammertoe surgery, and heel pain that has not responded to months of treatment elsewhere.
Getting here: South Memphis, Whitehaven, and Hickory Hill patients reach our Southaven office in about 15–20 minutes via I-55, Getwell, or Elvis Presley Boulevard. We care for patients across Shelby County, Tennessee, including the Whitehaven, Graceland, Hickory Hill, the I-55 and Getwell corridors areas.
Wound care just across the state line
Many patients from South Memphis, Whitehaven, and Hickory Hill find our Southaven office easier to reach than a large hospital campus downtown. From much of south Memphis it's a short drive down I-55 or Airways to Goodman Road, with simpler parking and a smaller office where you see the same doctors from visit to visit.
Seeing the same doctor matters with a wound. When the same team measures and examines the wound each visit, small changes are easier to notice, like a wound that has stopped shrinking or new redness at the edge, and the plan can be adjusted quickly.
Tennessee patients and insurance
We see Memphis-area patients regularly. Coverage depends on your specific plan, so when you call, our staff can help check whether we're in network before your visit. Our insurance page lists the carriers we work with.
If a wound needs hospital care or vascular treatment, we coordinate the next step and keep your primary care doctor informed.
Why board-certified podiatrists in Hernando & Southaven
Dr. Michael G. Lyons and Dr. Robert J. Wenzler are board-certified foot and ankle surgeons (DPMs). Foot wounds are a central part of their everyday practice. That means one team can treat the wound, address the bone, tendon, or pressure problem behind it, and perform foot surgery if it's ever needed, without sending you elsewhere. Both offices use one phone number, so you can be seen wherever is easier that week.
When to seek emergency care: if a foot wound comes with fever, chills, rapidly spreading redness, a foul smell with feeling very unwell, or skin turning black, go to the nearest emergency room. For a new or non-healing sore without those signs, call 662-449-3663 to be seen in the office.
