Wound care in The Colony, TX
Specialist wound care for The Colony patients
The Colony is a quietly affluent Denton County community where the median age, senior 65+ share, and household income all run higher than the surrounding cohort — which translates directly into chronic-wound demand. Dr. Hina Rizvi, M.D, C.W.S, serves The Colony residents from her Plano clinic, about a 25-minute drive across US-380 and the Dallas North Tollway. The wounds she sees from 75056 and 75068 skew toward what an aging, longer-tenured community produces: chronic venous insufficiency, pressure injuries in home-care settings, and post-surgical lymphedema.

Why specialty wound care matters in The Colony
The Colony's population is approximately 45,000 per the U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 American Community Survey, with a median age around 38 and median household income near $82,000. As a Denton County city, its diabetes prevalence runs near 9–9.5% per CDC BRFSS surveillance — between the higher Dallas County figure and the lower Collin County figure. What sets The Colony apart clinically is its 65+ share, which is climbing past 12% and is among the higher percentages in the cohort outside Coppell and Richardson. That older skew, combined with strong commercial and Medicare coverage, drives steady volume in the chronic-disease wound categories: long-standing venous ulcers in patients with prior orthopedic procedures, pressure injuries arising from limited mobility or home-care settings, and post-cancer or post-orthopedic lymphedema requiring complete decongestive therapy. Compression and skin-substitute therapies are financially accessible to most patients here without the hospital outpatient facility fee.

What care often looks like in The Colony
An older patient in The Colony with lymphedema has recurring skin breakdown on the lower leg. Compression, careful skin management, and regular review keep the skin intact between episodes. Without that specialist routine, the same patient tends to cycle through repeated open wounds.
