Why Choose Us
Wound Care, Done Right the First Time
Six Reasons
What Makes Nexcell Different
Specialty Focus
Wound care is the entire practice. Not a side service. Every visit is built around healing the wound in front of us.
Surgeon-Led
Care is directed by Dr. Christopher Dominguez, a board-certified general surgeon, and the Nexcell clinical team. Every plan is surgeon-supervised — at the bedside or in our clinic.
Measured Progress
Standardized assessment and measurement at every visit so you can see whether the plan is working.
Coordinated With Your Other Doctors
We talk to your primary care, endocrinologist, surgeon, and home health agency — and we send you and them visit notes.
Same-Week Openings
Most new outpatient referrals are seen at our Albuquerque clinic within a few business days. Bedside SLBT rounds run on a recurring schedule at every partner facility.
Self-Referral Welcome
You don't need a referral to be seen. Tell us about your wound and we'll take it from there.

What to Expect
Your First Visit at Nexcell
We start with a thorough intake — your wound history, overall medical history, current medications, and any previous treatments. Bringing a list of your medications and any prior wound notes helps us plan quickly.
Next is the physical exam. We document the wound with photography and standardized measurements so we have a clear baseline. We also assess circulation, sensation, and the surrounding tissue.
Finally, we walk through the plan together: the dressings you'll use, how often we'd like to see you, what to do at home, and what would count as progress. You'll leave knowing exactly what comes next.
Built for Healing
A Pace That Matches Your Wound
Most patients are seen weekly or biweekly early in treatment, when measurement and dressing changes matter most. As the wound improves, visits naturally space out.
When in-person isn't necessary, telehealth follow-ups keep the plan moving without an extra drive. We'll always tell you which kind of visit makes sense next.
Insurance & Payment
Accepting Most Major Plans
Nexcell accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Coverage varies by plan and procedure — we recommend calling our office to verify your specific benefits before your first visit.
