Home Wound Care Visits Wound care in Plano, TX
For some patients, getting to a clinic is the hardest part of wound care. Bedside-mobile visits bring a wound specialist to the patient for those who are homebound or recovering and cannot travel easily, depending on location and clinical situation. Telemedicine follow-ups can bridge between in-person visits when photos and history are enough to guide care.
How We Treat It
A care plan built around home wound care visits
Home visits are most often requested by families caring for a parent with a pressure injury, patients recovering after a hospital stay, and people with limited mobility. Dr. Rizvi assesses the wound, performs care that can be done at the bedside, and leaves clear instructions for the family or home-health nurse. She regularly coordinates with home-health nurses and therapists and can issue updated wound care orders, supply lists, and compression prescriptions to the home-health team. Pressure injury care follows NPIAP and WOCN guidance, including support surfaces, repositioning, and nutrition. Availability of home visits depends on your address and medical needs, so the first step is a call to the office.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do home wound care visits in my area?
Bedside-mobile visits are available in some areas for patients who are homebound or cannot travel easily. Availability depends on your address and medical situation, so call the office at 972-491-1200 to check whether a home visit can be arranged for you.
Who is a good fit for a home visit?
Home visits are meant for patients who have real difficulty getting to the clinic, such as people who are bed-bound, recovering after a hospital stay, or caring for a pressure injury at home. The office will talk through your situation and suggest a home visit, telemedicine, or a clinic visit.
Can telemedicine replace an in-person wound visit?
Sometimes. If clear photos and history are enough, a telemedicine visit can guide dressing changes and check progress. Debridement, cultures, and accurate measurements need hands-on care, so most patients start with an in-person or bedside evaluation.
I care for a parent with a bed sore. What should I watch for?
Check the skin over the tailbone, hips, and heels every day. Call the office if the wound gets larger or deeper, the skin around it turns red or warm, drainage increases or smells bad, or your parent develops a fever. Keep them repositioned regularly and off the wound as much as possible.
