Wound Care

About Wound Care

For optimal wound healing and to minimize infection, scarring, and other complications, an effective wound care program is crucial.

Many different types of injuries will involve some level of post-incident wound care. These can include incidents like burning, surgery, persistent ulcers, edema, and traumatic wounds. Each wound requires its own unique level of care and attention to ensure it is healing in the best possible way.

Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital specializes in all forms of wound care management. Our dedicated team of highly qualified nurses, therapists and doctors are experts in ensuring wounds are clean, sterile, and being properly looked after.

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.

I saw Doctor Schoenow on 9/3/25. All the support staff were very prompt and supportive. Specialists described what they were doing and why. Dr. Shoenow took time to explain what he thought was going on with me and what he planned to do to explore the causes. A couple times he stopped at my room to apologize for the wait, describe what was going on, and offer projected time frames. Before discharge, he reviewed his findings, recommended treatment, recommended follow-up with my primary physician, and responded to my questions.
His demeanor was professional, friendly, and contributed to stress-reduction.
Dr. Niemela was very knowledgeable and friendly, and he patiently listened to my complaints. He offered numerous treatment options, and gave me a cortisone shot that day. He also gave me instructions for several stretches and ice massage. I will definitely return to him when needed.
Jen was very thorough, and informative, I look forward to seeing her again
Dr. Vix Is an excellent doctor. It is very obvious that he loves what he does in helping people. I was very appreciative at the help that I got from him yesterday and through the next few days.
He is amazing and you should keep him on staff as long as he wants to work whatever the cost
Fast, Friendly and efficient.
There was a long wait due to the phones being down and an emergency flight but otherwise everything was great I ripped some stitches and they patched me right up
The Dr took time to go overy MRI with me and explain in detail his thoughts. I wish all Drs were like this again. I would recommend him without hesitation.
He is extremely thorough and amazing! Makes you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.
Listens, Explains, Pleasant, On time
Friendly and seems to check on my numbers. I really appreciate the follow up on my blood tests.
Dr Vix’s is fantastic, personal, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, caring. Compassionate, easy to communicate with.
His whole team was fantastic. Everything he did was quick and easy. Would definitely refer to anyone in the U.P.
Dr Anderson is clear and succinct. He speaks to the patient even when a guardian is present. He is wonderfully suited for his role.
Dr Rayner was very informative and answered all my questions. He was very good to work with.
Once again Dr Hovey was very good as he reviewed my findings and explored options for treatment. Very comfortable with him.
Dr. Vix did everything in his power to get me out of the ER as quickly as possible, even though every bed was full.
Everything was right on time. All of the staff is very professional, courteous, and friendly. They had everything they needed. Jeremy, the CRA, was thorough and complete and addressed all of my medical history. Dr. Bambach discussed the procedure and reviewed risks and benefits. my recovery was uneventful. After 24 hours, I am feeling great. I have minor incisal pain that requires no medication. Was as good of an experience a surgery could be.
He was very knowledgeable and very courteous
I'm thankful to have Dr Hoeve as my cardiologist. He has always listened to my thoughts and concerns and helps adjust my meds and advise to my advantage..He puts my mind at ease with my concerns...
He was great and right to my issue. I had to wait 3 hours so I know they were very busy.
Great doctor, really listens. Highly recommend.
Helpful and caring from top to bottom ❣️
