ADVANCED WOUNDCARE

Expert Care for Diabetic Ulcers, Burns, Surgical Wounds & Complex Foot Injuries

At SoCal Foot and Ankle Doctors, we specialize in advanced woundcare for patients with non-healing foot and ankle wounds due to diabetes, poor circulation, trauma, burns, or surgery. With locations in Santa Monica and the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers, we offer comprehensive, cutting-edge treatment options to heal wounds faster, reduce complications, and prevent limb loss.

Our approach blends medical precision with innovation, using advanced biologics, regenerative medicine, and state-of-the-art modalities like shockwave therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy — all tailored to each patient’s unique condition.

Advanced Woundcare

Wounds & Conditions We Treat

  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Burns on the foot or ankle
  • Neuropathic ulcers
  • Post-surgical incisions that won’t heal
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Venous or arterial ulcers
  • Traumatic lacerations, punctures, or skin tears
  • Infected ingrown toenails
  • Chronic wounds lasting more than 4 weeks

Why Add Hyperbaric & Shockwave Therapies?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):
Used especially in diabetic foot wounds, burns, and osteomyelitis, HBOT delivers 100% oxygen at higher pressure to deeply oxygenate tissues, fight bacteria, and stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth).

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT):
Non-invasive and FDA-approved, shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to trigger your body’s healing response. It’s ideal for non-healing ulcers, tendon pathology, diabetic wounds, and post-surgical scar tissue.

These therapies are often used in conjunction to maximize results in complex cases.

Treating Foot & Ankle Burns

Burns on the foot, especially in patients with diabetes or neuropathy, are particularly vulnerable to infection and poor healing. We treat foot burns using:

  • Biologic wound coverings and advanced dressings
  • Shockwave or HBOT for deep tissue stimulation
  • Pain management and infection control protocols
  • Custom pressure-relieving footwear

Our early and aggressive burn management prevents long-term complications like contracture, deformity, and amputation.

Why Choose SoCal Foot and Ankle Doctors?

✅ Access to biologic grafts, regenerative therapies, and HBOT referrals

Take Control of Chronic Wounds Today

Foot wounds should never be ignored. The longer they go untreated, the greater the risk of infection, hospitalization, or limb loss — especially for diabetic patients. If you have a wound that hasn’t healed in four weeks or longer, contact SoCal Foot and Ankle Doctors for immediate evaluation and advanced treatment.

 went to Dr. Hassid yesterday for the first time. The office is so welcoming and nice and I love, love, love Dr. Hassid. He is very thorough and really explains everything that he is going to do. He is very warm and caring and really listened to me and made excellent suggestions. He took x-rays right off the bat and established what was really going on with my foot. I am going to try his suggestions at home and return for a check in two months. I would highly recommend this office!!!

I was referred to Dr. Hassid by an urgent care, due to a toenail infection. I am so glad that I went to Dr. Hassid for my treatment! Him and his whole office staff were super professional. Dr. Hassid listened to all of my questions and patiently answered them so I knew how to heal quickly. I had to reach out via email a couple of times with some questions, and he responded super quickly which made me feel like he truly cared about how I was feeling. If I ever have any foot problems in the future, he’s the man I will be going to. Thanks for everything!

Dr. Hassid is presently treating my plantar fasciitis . He gave me several options to choose on my treatment and fully explain all the details. I choose Shockwave therapy even though my insurance doesn’t cover. Dr. Hassid & his staff were so friendly & accommodating. I hope all doctors are as compassionate as Dr Hassid. He listens and answers all your questions the bests he could. You can’t go wrong going to him. Dr Hassid, may you continue to blessed in everything that you do….Thank you
