Diabetic Foot Wounds Treatment | FAQ

Vascular surgeons Christopher Abularrage and Caitlin Hicks discuss the team's philosophy of care, treatment options, research and outcomes.

“Dr. Abularrage and Dr. Sherman immediately impressed us by their aggressiveness in treating not just the outward signs of the foot wound but by searching for the root of the problem. What’s more is that the whole team – from the doctors, physician assistants and nurses to the office staff – really takes time to get to know patients. It’s just another illustration of how this team goes the extra mile.”

- Ron and Barb Pavlechko

“The entire team, from surgeons to the office staff are so personable and caring. I would highly recommend anyone having issues with their feet to go to the Johns Hopkins Diabetic Foot and Wound Clinic for their expertise and unique treatment options. They are a few steps above anyone I’ve ever dealt with.”
