Has your diabetic foot ulcer failed to heal despite multiple treatments?Ask for a comprehensive specialist evaluation before any irreversible decision.

Non healing ulcers, recurrent infection, gangrene, neuropathy, reduced circulation. A comprehensive diabetic foot evaluation examines all of these together rather than one at a time, and often identifies options that have not yet been tried.

Already tried everything?

Many of the patients who come to Boston Diabetes have already been treated at multiple hospitals or wound care centres without satisfactory improvement. Months of dressings, courses of antibiotics, repeated debridement, and a wound that still will not close. Some arrive having been told that amputation is now the only option remaining.

That history is not a reason to stop looking. A wound that resists healing is usually being held open by more than one factor at once, and treatment that addresses one factor at a time rarely closes it. What has often not happened yet is a single evaluation in which every contributing factor is examined together, by clinicians who see the same case at the same time.

Every diabetic foot ulcer deserves a comprehensive specialist evaluation before major decisions such as amputation are made.

How it works

Four steps, and the first one costs you nothing but a message.

Step one

Send photographs and reports on WhatsApp

Photograph the wound in daylight along with your recent blood reports and send them to our patient coordinator.

Step two

Coordinator review

Your coordinator checks what has been sent, tells you if anything is missing and arranges a time.

Step three

Online video consultation

A scheduled video consultation with the diabetic foot specialist, who has already studied your photographs.

Step four

Recommendation and travel guidance

An initial assessment, treatment recommendations and honest guidance on whether travelling to Hyderabad would help you.

How the consultation takes place

WhatsApp is used for enquiries, sending photographs and reports, booking appointments and coordination. The medical consultation always takes place on a scheduled online video call.

Wound photographs are clinical records. They are used only for your assessment, shared only with the treating team, and are never published or used in advertising.

Send your wound photographs on WhatsApp

You do not need to travel yet.

Most patients contact us long before any travel is arranged. This is the order we work in.

Step oneSend photographs of the wound and your reports.
Step twoOur patient coordinator reviews what you sent.
Step threeYou meet the specialist on a scheduled video call.
Step fourOnly then do you decide about travelling.

Every diabetic foot ulcer deserves a comprehensive evaluation before a life changing decision is made.

A wound that has not healed in three months has usually not failed for one reason. It fails because circulation, nerve damage, infection and pressure are each contributing, and treating one without the others rarely closes the wound. A full evaluation looks at all four.

Send your wound photographs on WhatsApp
Who should be evaluated

If any of these describes your situation, ask for a specialist opinion.

Most of the patients who reach us have already been treated at other hospitals or wound care centres, sometimes for many months, without the wound closing. Arriving late is common, and it is not a reason to stop looking for options.

Many patients arrive having been given one option. A comprehensive evaluation exists to establish whether there are others, before anything irreversible is done.Foot Preservation and Limb Salvage Center, Boston Diabetes

The evaluation

Five assessments, carried out together rather than in isolation.

A wound that resists healing is usually being held open by more than one factor. Assessing them separately, in different clinics, months apart, is why many ulcers stay open.

Wound

Wound assessment

Depth, extent, tissue viability and involvement of tendon or bone documented and graded, so that progress can be measured rather than estimated.

Nerve

Neuropathy assessment

Nerve function measured objectively rather than by questioning alone, using DPN Check, a US FDA cleared nerve conduction device. Pain free and completed in under two minutes.

Circulation

Vascular assessment

Blood supply to the foot evaluated, because a wound cannot heal on circulation that cannot deliver oxygen to the tissue.

Pressure

Pressure and offloading assessment

Where the foot is loaded when you walk, and how that load can be redistributed away from the wound.

Infection

Infection assessment

Whether infection is present, how deep it reaches, and whether bone is involved.

Diabetes

Metabolic assessment

Blood glucose control reviewed alongside the wound, since healing depends on it.

Boston Diabetes is the first centre in India to offer DPN Check. The device is US FDA cleared and the clinical advisory board includes its inventor. It is used as one part of a complete diabetic foot programme, not as a standalone product.

How diabetic foot ulcers are graded.

Grading gives every clinician who sees your foot the same reference point, and it is how progress is measured over time.

Grade 0
Foot at risk, no open ulcer
Grade 1
Superficial ulcer involving skin only
Grade 2
Deeper ulcer reaching tendon or joint capsule
Grade 3
Deep ulcer with abscess or bone infection
Grade 4
Localised gangrene of the forefoot or heel
Grade 5
Extensive gangrene of the foot

Your grade is established by examination and imaging during the evaluation. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and a grade seen online cannot replace an assessment of your foot.

Our goal is limb preservation whenever it is clinically appropriate. Some wounds cannot be closed, and in some situations amputation is the treatment that protects a patient's health and mobility. No outcome can be promised, and outcomes vary between patients. What a comprehensive evaluation offers is certainty that the alternatives were examined before that decision was made.

What we do, and what we do not do.

Boston Diabetes is an outpatient and day care specialty centre. We provide comprehensive diabetic foot evaluation, wound care, offloading, infection management and long term foot protection. We do not have inpatient beds, we do not operate an in house laboratory, and complex vascular or surgical intervention is coordinated with partner hospitals in Hyderabad. If your foot needs care we cannot provide directly, you will be told that during the video consultation, before you book a flight.

Why travel to Hyderabad

Why patients from Oman choose Boston Diabetes.

A dedicated diabetic foot programme

The Foot Preservation and Limb Salvage Center exists for this condition alone. Diabetic foot care is not an add on to a general wound clinic.

Everything assessed in one place

Wound, circulation, nerves, pressure, infection and diabetes control reviewed together, in days rather than across months of separate appointments.

Objective nerve testing

Nerve function measured with DPN Check, a US FDA cleared device, rather than estimated from symptoms.

A second opinion before an irreversible step

Patients told that amputation is the only option are evaluated to establish whether other options exist.

Photographs reviewed before you fly

Send wound photographs and reports first. We tell you whether the journey is worth making before you book a ticket.

Cost

Costs in India are typically lower than in many international destinations. Your estimate is confirmed after your photographs and reports are reviewed.

International patient coordination

Appointment scheduling, medical visa invitation letter, airport pickup and hotel options near the centre.

Arabic language support

Enquiries, coordination and follow up handled in Arabic on WhatsApp.

The difference

Why a comprehensive diabetic foot evaluation matters.

Both approaches treat the wound. Only one of them establishes why the wound is still open.

Duration of stay

The recommended duration of stay is determined after your comprehensive specialist evaluation and initial clinical assessment. Because requirements vary considerably between patients, we do not publish a fixed number of days.

  • Severity of the foot ulcer
  • Presence of infection
  • Vascular status
  • Wound healing requirements
  • Recommended treatment approach
  • Individual recovery needs

Your coordinator confirms an expected range in writing once the multidisciplinary team has reviewed your case.

Evaluation and treatment costs depend on the grade of the wound, whether infection or bone involvement is present, and whether vascular intervention is required, so a single fixed figure would be misleading. Your coordinator confirms a written estimate before you travel. Details of the specialist consultation itself are set out further down this page.

Questions

What patients from Oman ask before they travel.

I have been told I need an amputation. Is it worth getting another opinion?
In most cases it is worth being evaluated before an irreversible step. A comprehensive assessment establishes whether circulation, infection or pressure on the wound can still be addressed. Sometimes it confirms the original advice, and sometimes it identifies options that have not been tried. Either way you make the decision knowing the alternatives were examined.
Can you promise to save my foot?
No, and you should be careful of anyone who does. Some wounds cannot be closed, and in some situations amputation is the treatment that protects a patient's health and mobility. Our goal is limb preservation whenever it is clinically appropriate, and our commitment is a thorough evaluation and an honest opinion.
How does the online video consultation work?
You send wound photographs and your reports to our patient coordinator on WhatsApp. The coordinator checks them and arranges a time. The consultation itself is a scheduled online video call with the diabetic foot team. WhatsApp is used for messages, photographs and coordination, and is not where the consultation takes place. Full details of the consultation, including the fee, are set out in the Super Specialty Consultation section of this page.
What photographs should I send?
Three photographs in daylight without flash: one of the whole foot, one close to the wound, and one from the side showing depth. Do not remove dressings that are stuck. Also send your recent HbA1c, blood counts, kidney function reports and any vascular study or X ray you have.
How long should I expect to stay in Hyderabad?
We do not publish a fixed number of days, because it varies considerably. The duration is determined after your specialist evaluation and initial clinical assessment, and depends on the severity of the ulcer, the presence of infection, vascular status and wound healing requirements. The team gives you an expected range on the video call, before you book anything.
Do you admit patients or perform surgery?
Boston Diabetes is an outpatient and day care centre. We do not have inpatient beds. Complex vascular or surgical intervention is coordinated with partner hospitals in Hyderabad, and you are told during the video consultation if your case is likely to need that.
Do you help with the medical visa?
We issue an invitation letter for your medical visa application and confirm your appointment dates in writing. The visa itself is granted by the Indian authorities.
Is there Arabic language support?
Yes. Enquiries, appointment coordination and follow up are handled in Arabic on WhatsApp. Tell us in your first message that you prefer Arabic.
What happens after I return to Oman?
Your recommendations include the dressing schedule, offloading instructions and what to watch for. Send progress photographs to your coordinator on WhatsApp and a follow up video consultation is arranged to review them.

Comprehensive Super Specialty Consultation

Evaluated by a multidisciplinary diabetic foot team, not by a single clinician.

This is not a routine appointment. Your case is examined by the clinicians who together determine whether a wound is able to heal: the neurologist assessing nerve function, the diabetologist reviewing metabolic control and the nephrologist reviewing kidney function, alongside assessment of the wound itself, the circulation to the foot and the pressure the foot carries when you walk.

What the evaluation may include
  • Review of previous medical records
  • Review of wound photographs, current and earlier, so that change over time can be assessed
  • Review of laboratory reports, including HbA1c, blood counts, inflammatory markers and kidney function
  • Review of imaging studies, including X rays and any scans you hold
  • Vascular assessment of the blood supply to the foot
  • Neuropathy assessment of nerve function
  • Foot examination
  • Review of previous treatments and why they did not close the wound
  • Personalised recommendations from the multidisciplinary diabetic foot team
What you receive
  • A considered opinion on the state of the foot and on what is preventing the wound from closing
  • Personalised recommendations for treatment and for the next steps to take
  • An honest view on whether travelling to Hyderabad would benefit you

The fee is confirmed with your coordinator before the appointment is scheduled, and nothing is added to it afterwards. If the team concludes that travelling would not benefit you, you are told so directly.

Already treated elsewhere?

Many of the patients we evaluate have already been treated at several hospitals or wound care centres without a satisfactory result, often over many months, and a number arrive having been told that amputation is the only option remaining. Asking for an expert second opinion before an irreversible decision is not a criticism of the doctors who treated you. It is what a decision of that size deserves.

Before a life changing decision such as major amputation, seek a comprehensive specialist evaluation.

Send your wound photographs for an expert review and learn about the treatment options that may be appropriate for your condition.
