MedCentris Wound Healing Institute Opens in Metairie
Metairie, La. – MedCentris, a leader in advanced Wound Medicine, is proud to announce the opening of our Wound Healing Institute of Metairie located on 4720 I-10 Service Rd. W Suite 206, Metairie, Louisiana. It is currently open Monday through Friday from 8am – 5pm. As a private facility, it generally offers a lower co-pay than a hospital. The MedCentris Advanced Wound Healing Program provides specialized care to complex wound patients who have had difficulty healing. Typical patients undergo an advanced wound healing program designed to treat the underlying causes of their wounds, such as infection, malnutrition, and Peripheral Vascular Disease. Surgical procedures are performed at bedside, with an emphasis on minimizing pain and discomfort.
Abigail Chaffin, MD, FACS, CWSP, FAPWCA, is the Medical Director of the Wound Healing Institute of Metairie. Dr. Chaffin is a double board-certified plastic surgeon practicing at Tulane University. She received her MD degree from Wayne State University, where she also completed her General Surgery residency in 2006. She is board-certified by the American Board of Surgery. She also completed a two-year Plastic Surgery fellowship at Tulane University School of Medicine in 2008 and is board-certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Chaffin is also one of only a few doctors in the state of Louisiana who is a Certified Wound Care Specialist Physician and is a Fellow of the American Professional Wound Care Association.
“We are incredibly thankful to be able to bring Wound Medicine to the Metairie area for patients and providers who have had trouble with complex, non-healing wounds,” said Dr. Shaun Carpenter, CEO of MedCentris.
