Making Wound Care Accessible
Expert Venous Leg Ulcer Care You Can Trust
Got a wound on your leg that just won’t heal? You’re not alone, and we’re here to help. At Hill Country Wound Care & Hyperbarics, San Antonio’s largest private, physician-led outpatient wound-care & hyperbarics network, with three Advanced Healing Centers in North, East, and Southwest San Antonio, we close venous leg ulcers faster, prevent recurrence, and get you back to living your life.
Your Personalized Venous Ulcer Healing Plan
In-Depth Evaluation & Diagnosis
We use painless Doppler ultrasound and thorough wound assessment to uncover exactly what’s blocking your healing from day one.
Tailored Compression Therapy
You’ll be fitted with gradient wraps or medical-grade stockings to gently reduce swelling and improve blood flow, essential first steps in closing your ulcer.
Expert Wound Care
Our clinicians carefully remove dead tissue, apply moisture-balanced antimicrobial dressings, and manage any infection to prepare your ulcer bed for repair.
Biologic Skin Grafts
When ulcers stall, we partner with trusted allograft providers to apply amnion/chorion membrane grafts, natural, skin-like barriers rich in growth factors that jump-start healing.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
If your ulcer isn’t healing after 4–6 weeks, our physician-led team offers HBOT. Breathing pure oxygen under 2.0–2.5 ATA for 90–120 minutes boosts tissue oxygenation, reduces swelling, and sparks new blood-vessel growth over 20–30 sessions.
Education & Ongoing Support
You’ll learn leg-elevation techniques, skin-care routines, gentle exercises, and how to spot early warning signs, so you can keep your legs healthy long term.
Collaborative Care Team
We work closely with your vascular surgeon, nutritionist, and primary care provider, under our physician leadership, to deliver coordinated, holistic care every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that navigating insurance and payment options can be complex. Below are answers to some common questions about coverage and payment for wound care services at Hill Country Wound Care:
Venous leg ulcers happen when the one-way valves in your leg veins weaken or fail, letting blood pool in your lower legs. That extra pressure, called venous hypertension, stretches your skin, reduces oxygen delivery, and eventually leads to a sore that won’t heal on its own. At Hill Country, we use non-invasive Doppler ultrasound to pinpoint valve issues and build a treatment plan that addresses the root cause, not just the surface wound.
Healing times vary depending on size, depth, and how long the ulcer’s been present. With our comprehensive approach, including compression wraps, advanced dressings, and, if needed, HBOT, most patients see significant improvement within 6–12 weeks. We monitor your progress at every visit and adjust therapies to keep you on the fastest path to closure.
At Hill Country, you have access to:

Yes. Compression is the cornerstone of venous ulcer healing. By applying graduated pressure (highest at the ankle, easing toward the calf), stockings help push pooled blood back up your leg. We’ll fit you for the right grade of compression, teach you how to put them on (and take them off), and recommend wearing schedules so you get maximum benefit without discomfort.
