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 Tunica 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.
Tunica County has a high burden of diabetes and very few podiatry options, so we see patients here at later stages than we would like — deep ulcers, exposed tendon or bone, and infections that have already spread. Even then, aggressive debridement, offloading, infection control, and vascular workup save a great many limbs.
For Tunica patients, we try to compress care into fewer trips: imaging, debridement, dressing supplies, and offloading in the same appointment, with clear written instructions so family members can manage dressings between visits.
Getting here: From Tunica, Highway 61 north leads to our Hernando or Southaven offices in roughly 30–35 minutes. We care for patients across Tunica County, Mississippi, including the the Tunica Resorts casino corridor, Highway 61, Tunica Riverpark, Tunica County High School areas.
