Foot & leg wound care in Denton, TX

Wounds we treat
Dr. Barber cares for a wide range of lower-limb wounds, including:

Why choose Dr. Barber for wound care?
Dr. Barber has extensive wound-care experience, including three years of surgical wound care and limb salvage in Brooklyn, NY, trained by nationally respected limb-salvage and infectious-disease experts. He has been named a consultant for an up-and-coming wound care company and uses cutting-edge technology — including topical oxygen for challenging ulcers, which can be applied constantly and is often more effective than hyperbaric oxygen.

You don’t need a hospital wound clinic to get advanced treatment. Denton Podiatry offers the same quality of care for leg and foot wounds — plus advanced diagnostics right in the office:
- Debridement to clean and prepare the wound
- Specialized healing therapies, including topical oxygen
- Portable X-ray to rule out bone infection

Understanding diabetic foot ulcers
Diabetic patients are one of the largest groups affected by wounds — with about a 25% lifetime chance of developing a foot ulcer. Nerve damage can make a wound hard to feel, and poor circulation slows healing, so small problems can escalate quickly. Watch for drainage on your socks, redness, swelling, or odor, and get prompt care — early treatment greatly reduces the risk of infection and amputation.
Prevention matters, too: inspect and wash your feet daily, keep toenails trimmed (not too short), wear well-fitting shoes, moisturize, change socks often, and keep up with regular professional diabetic foot exams.
