Burn Treatment
Our burn treatment services address thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiation burns with advanced medical interventions. We specialize in immediate emergency care, long-term rehabilitation, and scar management. Patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to injury severity and recovery goals.
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery restores function and appearance after burn injuries through techniques like flap reconstruction and tissue expansion. Our surgeons prioritize natural outcomes and patient mobility. Procedures include nerve decompression and scar revision to enhance quality of life.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy accelerates healing for complex wounds and burns by increasing oxygen delivery to tissues. This non-invasive treatment promotes tissue regeneration and reduces infection risks. It is integrated into recovery plans for diabetic ulcers and radiation burns.
Wound Care
Our wound care services treat chronic and acute wounds, including diabetic ulcers and cellulitis, using evidence-based protocols. Advanced therapies like necrotizing fasciitis management ensure rapid healing. Care plans emphasize infection prevention and patient education for long-term health.
Patient Support Programs
Patient support programs connect individuals with peer networks, financial assistance, and transportation resources. Partnerships with Angel Flight and the Burn Foundation provide travel aid and non-medical expense coverage. These initiatives ensure holistic recovery beyond clinical treatment.

Great place to tend to burn needs. Burned my leg on an iron and they were very efficient and pleasant in assisting me- they have also helped my friends and family in the past with exceptional results.

Very good hospital excellent care the nursing staff and doctors are very nice when you get to speak to one of them. They need to do a better job on Updates on your loved one. They need a TV/Monitor like they have at Spartanburg Regional that has the status of the patient so your not sitting there hours on end wondering what's going on. Several people in the waiting area had to call the hospitals main line, to get updates. Terrible communication problems.

Honestly the best expierance I have ever had thanks to Ms Chris amanda and all the staff working in the surgery department. Compared to other hospital's better yet departments they are heaven sent. Nothing personal affects there care for their current patient. Now days its allot they have to deal with and I know they can get constant feedback, So im making it my business to give them the credit they deserve. I felt like it was family working on me. You have to have the mindset to deal with some of the worse. These ladies are mentally equipped to deal with the worse.

Dr. Benson Pulikkottil and the staff at the Burn and Reconstructive Center of America, Colorado are some of the most compassionate, professional individuals I have ever been honored to seek treatment from. I have had both my left and right hand repaired by Dr. Pulikkottil and not only is the incision completely invisible, my pain, burning and numbness disappeared 2 hours after surgery. To say that he's a miracle worker is an understatement.
I will never be able to Thank Dr. Pulikkottil enough for giving me back the use of my hands and arms, absolutely pain free. Thank you all so very much for your gracious kindness. I'm forever grateful.

I came to see Dr Brandigi for a surgery consultation. The Hospital charged me 495$ just for this consultation. On further investigation, Dr Brandigi doesn't have an office this is where he sees all his consultantations and is aware of the change but does not disclose this to his potential patients. I drive from Knoxville Tn so I called before I came and still was never informed from the phone call throughout my maybe one hour consultation with said surgeon.
I'm being charged w his fee and the hospital fee almost 800$ just to talk with him about what he would do if I let him be my surgeon. I have called both billing offices multiple times, the CFO, The patient advocate of the hospital who never return my call after we spoke and the CEO of the hospital multiple times without a return call ever. Lucky, I went with Vanderbilt for my surgery. Had I not Im sure this cost would have be bundled in my entire bill and unnoticed. Soooo, people be ware. This is a scam! A very costly scam at that!
