Making an Appointment
Please be sure that the doctor or nurse has scheduled you for your first Burn Wound Clinic appointment before you are discharged from the hospital.
The Burn Wound Clinic is located on the first floor of the Bayview Medical Office (BMO) building, and is the last clinic at the end of the hallway. It is easily accessible through the BMO entrance, marked with the blue awning.
To make a Burn Wound Clinic appointment, please call 410-550-7900. You must have an appointment in order to be seen. Also, if you are a new patient, you must have a physician referral to be seen in the clinic. The Burn Wound Clinic operates on Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. Every effort will be made to have you seen by the doctor who treated you in the Burn Center.
Your Appointment
In the Burn Wound Clinic, specialized doctors will check your wounds and provide you with the necessary treatment to promote healing. Prescriptions, medications and dressing orders can be obtained here. You may also be seen by physical and/or occupational therapists to assist with exercise. You will be measured for compression garments if needed.
Be sure to take pain medications before appointments. You may also bring pain medication with you, as you may need another dosage during or after your appointment. You will be unable to drive with narcotic pain medication in your system. Remember to have someone to safely drive you home prior to your appointment.
