You followed the instructions. You took the medication. And yet the infection is still there—or it keeps coming back.
That’s frustrating. It’s also a reason to ask for another look.
An infection that keeps coming back needs a closer evaluation. That’s where Encompass HealthCare and Dr. Bruce Ruben and his infectious disease expertise comes in.
At Encompass Healthcare & Wound Medicine in West Bloomfield, Dr. Bruce Ruben evaluates infections with the bigger picture in mind. What’s causing the problem? Is a wound involved? What are the underlying conditions that are giving rise to the infection to begin with? This is where we are different.
- Dr. Bruce Ruben
Dr. Ruben looks at everything, so he can find the root problem. The answer is not simply “longer I.V. antibiotic treatment, or a different antibiotic medicine, it goes much deeper than that to understand the patient and find out what the real problem is.
Then he fixes it.
Serious treatment outside the hospital
Our outpatient office offers our patients the ability to be treated, go back to work, go home, sleep in their own beds and return the next day without hospital visits and all of the germs to which one could be exposed.
We offer IV antibiotics in our outpatient setting, hyperbaric chambers right in our officew, ultrasound-guided venous ablation and more. That means you come in for treatment and can return home afterward. And sleep in your own bed!
Serious infection. Serious expertise. A setting built around your life.
If your infection isn’t improving or keeps coming back, contact your healthcare provider promptly or talk with the Encompass team about your next step.
