Diabetic Foot Ulcer Care in Brooklyn — Without the Waitlist.
In New York's most populous borough, a new diabetic foot ulcer can wait weeks for a wound-center opening — time that ulcer doesn't have. Apollo Wound Care skips the waitlist entirely, bringing wound assessment, debridement and an offloading plan to Brooklyn homes from Bay Ridge to East New York.
Diabetic Ulcers meets Brooklyn reality.
A diabetic foot ulcer is decided in its first weeks — and in Brooklyn, those weeks are often spent waiting. With the city's largest borough population competing for wound-center slots, a new ulcer can sit under a drugstore bandage while the calendar fills against it. The neighborhoods farthest from hospital wound programs — East New York, Canarsie, and much of southern Brooklyn, where many seniors are aging in place — are exactly where keeping a weekly appointment is hardest. Bringing the specialist to the patient removes the waitlist and the commute in one move: Timothy Donoho, PA checks circulation and sensation in your home, debrides when clinically indicated, builds an offloading plan around the shoes you actually wear and the stairs you actually climb, and teaches family members what a warning sign looks like — so the people who see the foot every day become part of its defense.
The local factors we plan around.
Waitlists an ulcer can't afford
Brooklyn's wound clinics serve the city's largest borough population, and new-patient slots can sit weeks out. A house call starts diabetic ulcer treatment without waiting for a calendar to open.
Far from the wound program
Hospital wound programs cluster in a few corners of the borough, leaving neighborhoods like East New York and Canarsie a long ride from specialty care. Mobile care reaches East New York as easily as Park Slope.
Seniors aging in place
Southern Brooklyn is home to a large population of older adults managing diabetes in houses and apartments they've lived in for decades. Care that comes to them protects both the foot and the independence.
Family in the room
Home visits let spouses and adult children see the wound, learn the dressing routine and know exactly which changes warrant a call — turning the household into an early-warning system.

How fast can treatment start for a new diabetic foot ulcer in Brooklyn?
