The Team

At the VGH Burn and Plastic Surgery Unit, we treat a wide variety of injuries, including:

• Burns resulting from flames, explosions, hot liquids, or electrocutions
• Severe frostbite
• Diseases that produce large wounds, such as Necrotizing Fasciitis or "flesh-eating disease"
• Large pressure ulcers
• Wild animal maulings

Our patients range in age from six to sixty plus. The traumatic events that lead to hospitalization can affect a person on many levels - physically, socially, psychologically and even spiritually. To guide patients effectively from wound to wellness, we provide support recovery in each of these areas. Our treatment team includes a range of professionals who specialize in different aspects of health care, but who work together to ensure that our patients receive the most comprehensive, scientifically advanced and effective approaches available. Our patients and their loved ones are also members of our team — full collaborators in the journey of healing.
