That’s why DMC Surgery Hospital is committed to the DMC 29 minute E.R. guarantee. it is a promise that means you’ll never wait more than 29 minutes to see a physician. and it is a promise we are serious about keeping. in fact, most patients receive treatment and are back on their way home in under an hour. Here is what a few of our patients – your friends and neighbors – had to say about the E.R. at DMC Surgery Hospital. “They were very speedy and knew just what to do for me.” – Kennis, Detroit “This was my second trip to this E.R. and I only had to wait approximately two minutes at most until I was called into back emergency room.” – Dana, Madison Heights HELPING TO HEAL MEDiCaTiOnS Can HavE Many side effects, and for 72-yearold Fred Tadra, taking a necessary drug for most of his adult life led to skin problems. The medication causes Tadra’s skin to be very thin and susceptible to breaking open, resulting in wounds that are extremely hard to heal. When he saw his doctor last november with a sore on his lower leg, the doctor referred the Warren resident to the DMC Wound Care Center in Berkley. using the newest fast-healing treatments, the staff at the center helped Tadra to a complete recovery. “Quickest treatment and shortest visit to any care facility ever – Top notch! Thank you!” – andrew, Royal Oak “Best E.R. I’ve ever been to.” – Jeffrey, Troy “I wish every emergency department was like this one.” – art, Madison Heights “I was seen within two days and treatment began immediately,” explains tadra. “they were extremely attentive and professional and made coming in every week a pleasure. they were just as excited about my progress as I was.” “We determined that his wound healing had ‘stalled’ and would benefit from the use of apligraf, which is a living cell skin substitute,” says Wendy Boyer, R.n. “We applied the graft at the center and also fitted Mr. Tadra with an unna boot – a soft casting that holds the skin in place.” The boot was not uncomfortable, says Tadra and after 13 visits his leg was healed. The DMC Wound Care Center is a comprehensive center with a team that includes a wound care nurse, podiatric surgeons, an interventional cardiologist, a vascular surgeon, an internist and a plastic surgeon. The center focuses on treating patients with chronic wounds, primarily from diabetes and vascular problems. it is part of a network of wound care treatment programs operated by the DMC with services in Berkley as well as Sinai-grace and Detroit Receiving Hospitals in Detroit.
