The sooner a wound is properly closed, the better the healing and the lower the risk of infection and scarring. Most wounds should be closed within 6–8 hours of injury — after that, the risk of complications increases significantly.
Waiting in an ER for hours isn't just frustrating — it can directly impact your outcome. Every hour of delay increases infection risk and makes optimal closure more difficult.
With The Stitch Doc, you don't wait. A board-certified plastic surgeon from Town Plastic Surgery — the most respected practice in the tri-state area — is dispatched immediately and meets you within 60 minutes.

Plastic surgeons use layered closure, fine sutures, and precise tissue alignment — techniques that reduce tension and improve long-term appearance.
Reducing long-term scarring and improving cosmetic outcomes is the primary goal — not just closing the wound as fast as possible.
