Conditions We Treat
Our wound care specialists treat the full range of chronic and complex wounds. Whether you are managing a long-standing wound or dealing with a new complication, Gateway Wound Care has the expertise to help.
Diabetic foot ulcers are among the most serious complications of diabetes and a leading cause of lower limb amputation. These wounds develop when nerve damage and poor circulation make feet vulnerable to injury that heals slowly. Our specialists provide thorough wound assessment, professional debridement, offloading strategies, and close monitoring to protect against infection and promote healing.

These chronic wounds can be painful and slow to heal without proper compression therapy and wound management. Gateway Wound Care provides individualized compression treatment and evidence-based wound care to restore healthy healing.

Patients with limited mobility are most at risk. Our team manages pressure ulcers at every stage and works with caregivers and facility staff on prevention strategies, repositioning schedules, and appropriate support surfaces.

These wounds are typically painful and occur on the lower legs, ankles, and toes. Effective treatment requires careful wound management coordinated with vascular specialists to address the underlying circulation problem and promote healing.

What Our Partners Say
"My mother had a diabetic foot ulcer that wasn't healing. Gateway Wound Care made such a difference. The specialist was professional, kind, and explained everything. We didn't have to drive her anywhere—they came right to our home. She healed so much faster."
"As a Director of Nursing at our facility, I'm always looking for reliable specialists. Gateway Wound Care has been excellent. Their clinicians communicate clearly with our staff, provide detailed documentation, and follow a consistent schedule. Our residents receive top-notch care."
"We partner with Gateway Wound Care to provide specialized wound management for our home health patients. They're responsive, knowledgeable, and seamlessly coordinate care. It's rare to find a wound care provider who truly works as a team with us."
Gateway Wound Care was founded by Dr. Blumenthal, a board-certified wound care specialist with a passion for bringing expert wound management directly to patients in their homes and communities. For years, Dr. Blumenthal recognized a gap in St. Louis: patients with serious chronic wounds had to travel to hospitals and clinics, sometimes multiple times a week, adding stress and burden to their healing journey. Gateway Wound Care was created to change that.
Today, our team of board-certified specialists serves over 30 communities across the greater St. Louis metropolitan area, treating hundreds of patients monthly with the same commitment to excellence and compassion that Dr. Blumenthal envisioned. We've earned the trust of patients, families, nursing facilities, home health agencies, and healthcare providers across the region by delivering expert care right where people live and work.
