Ejaz Kamboj, M.D. Board Certified Cardiovascular Wound Care Specialist

Ejaz Kamboj, MD, is the Medical Director of Wound Docs. He is a Board Certified Cardiovascular and Wound specialist. He was the director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas from 1999-2003 and was an assistant professor of cardiovascular diseases.

The majority of the wounds are vascular in origin. Vascular damage is at the core of tissue injury and wound formation. Unfortunately, there is a lack of understanding of the cardiovascular aspect of wound healing. This has resulted in the current practice of “wound maintenance,” which is unfortunately harmful to the patients. The goal should be wound healing.

Dr. Kamboj has the advantage of being a cardiovascular specialist and, therefore, provides comprehensive care by rapidly healing wounds, minimizing infection, hospitalization, wound recurrence, and permanent scarring. We have encountered unfortunate patients who have had non-healing wounds for more than 30 years.

At Wound Docs, Dr. Kamboj personally evaluates and supervises his staff with all wounds. He visits patients at home and provides his personal cell phone and email to all the staff involved in the care of the patient. He is available anytime via text, phone, or email. This practice develops a good working relationship with the staff and provides patient-centric care.
