We specialize in treating Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), diabetic foot ulcers, non-healing wounds, osteomyelitis, radiation injuries, and more. Our advanced therapies are focused on improving vascular health and accelerating wound healing.
Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. Many patients can self-refer, but some insurance providers may require a physician referral. Please check with your insurance company or call our office for guidance.
We are in-network with a wide range of insurance providers. Please contact our office to confirm that we accept your specific plan.
Scheduling an appointment is simple. Call us directly at (979) 459-1553 and our patient care team will help you book a visit that fits your schedule.
At your first appointment, our physician will conduct a thorough assessment, review your medical history, and create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition and health goals.
For your first appointment, please bring:
- A list of current medications (including dosages, vitamins, and supplements)
- A list of allergies (both medication and other)
- Your insurance card(s) and a photo ID
- Any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss
- A notebook and pen for notes
- Your copay (if required by your insurance plan)
HBOT is a treatment that delivers pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, helping your body heal more effectively by increasing oxygen supply to damaged tissues. It’s especially beneficial for chronic wounds and radiation injuries.
Yes, HBOT is a safe, FDA-approved treatment when administered under medical supervision. Our trained staff carefully monitors each session to ensure your comfort and safety. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, and side effects are rare and typically mild.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases oxygen delivery to tissues, supporting wound healing and fighting infection.
During your session, you may relax by reading, watching a movie, or taking a nap. Some patients experience fullness in their ears, similar to airplane travel, or a slight temperature change in the chamber. After treatment, you may feel tired, lightheaded, or hungry. These effects are temporary and typically resolve quickly.
To prepare, we recommend:
- Eating a balanced meal beforehand
- Avoiding caffeine, carbonated drinks, and smoking
- Wearing clean cotton clothing
- Avoiding petroleum-based hair or skin products
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a condition where arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet become narrowed due to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis). This reduced blood flow can cause pain, slow-healing wounds, and increase the risk of serious complications like infection or amputation.
At Third River Health, we diagnose PAD using advanced tools such as Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) testing and imaging studies. Treatment may include:
- Lifestyle changes and medications to manage symptoms and improve circulation.
- Minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty, stenting, or atherectomy to restore blood flow.
- Bypass surgery in severe cases, creating a new pathway for blood circulation.
Our goal is to not only relieve symptoms but also address the root cause and help prevent progression of the disease.
Endovascular therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that restores blood flow to blocked or narrowed vessels—without the need for open surgery. Using small catheters and advanced imaging, our specialists can:
- Open narrowed arteries with angioplasty and stenting
- Remove plaque with atherectomy
- Clear blood clots with thrombectomy
- Treat abnormal vessels with embolization
This therapy is highly effective for patients with PAD, diabetic complications, or non-healing wounds. By restoring circulation, endovascular therapy promotes faster wound healing, relieves pain, and helps prevent amputations.
Osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection that can occur when bacteria or fungi spread to the bone tissue. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, fever, redness, and sometimes drainage from an open wound.
At Third River Health, we use MRI, X-rays, blood tests, and bone biopsies to confirm diagnosis. Treatment typically involves:
- Intravenous (IV) antibiotics targeted to the infection
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to speed healing in infected bone tissue
- Surgical procedures in advanced cases to remove damaged bone and drain abscesses
Our team develops individualized care plans to eliminate infection, promote healing, and reduce the risk of recurrence.
