    My Dad was referred to BWC for a toe debridment, Dr. Timothy Smith suggested angioplasty to improve…read moreblood flow and toe amputation at the same time, following the amputation of his 5th toe, he developed infection, Dr. Smith prescribed an oral antibiotic (cephalexon) to treat the infection, after a weeks prescription, it was getting worse so we returned to the ER where he was admitted for IV antibiotics, we lost 10 days using the wrong antibiotics to treat his infection, after wound cultures were done we found out he had MRSA, now the dead tissue and wound are on his foot rather than his toe alone, and Dr. Smith wants to amputate below the knee, he has never mentioned a second attempt at fixing the blood flow, or grafting, he only used the diamondback procedure, he cannot be bothered to try stenting or bypass surgery, he just wants to take the leg below the knee, we trusted his opinion on the toe amputation, had we not, my dad would be able to walk and work, he is now homebound this is all 5 weeks after the toe amputation, we are forced to get a second opinion while doing at home IV antibiotics, this doctor has no idea about modern protocol to treat wounds and he could not even be bothered to see my Dad while hospitalized literally 200 ft. From his office. I am so done with this Doctor, please take your loved one elsewhere!

    "0" STARS WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE.  THIS IS A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ALERT!  My husband ended up…read morehaving a BELOW THE KNEE AMPUTATION due to the BWC's (Blessing Wound Center's) failure to diagnose and treat him according to established protocol.  My husband was diagnosed with a bone infection in October 2016.  Dr. Timothy Smith, Vascular Surgeon performed the bone infection surgery at Blessing Hospital in Quincy.  Almost immediately, my husband found himself under the regular care of the BWC because his wound would not heal.  This went on for approximately two years, his foot had turned black, and his calf also turned black and bone fragments were coming out of his foot at the wound site.  Still, no one at the BWC was concerned or trained well enough to follow established medical protocol and culture his wound to determine if there was a bone infection.  While he was given antibiotics on several occasions, they were not the correct antibiotics for his bone infection.  Over an approximate two-year period, the BWC failed to diagnose him, failed to order an MRI and other diagnostic testing, failed to treat him according to established protocol and also failed to refer him to a doctor that would be able to treat him; this is MEDICAL MALPRACTICE.  About six months before my husband had his AMPUTATION, I spoke with Dr. Duane Hanzel about an amputation and he advised us against it.  He denied this after my husband's amputation, even though the medical record states that he would speak with Dr. Timothy Smith about an amputation, however, we were never advised of this, we learned this when we obtained the medical records. I finally lost all faith in Dr. Duane Hanzel at the BWC and took my husband to an infectious disease doctor and an orthopedic surgeon in Iowa.  The infectious disease doctor advised that he must be admitted immediately because bone infections can only be treated with strong antibiotics administered by IV; over a two-year period, the BWC never knew he had a bone infection after the surgery to remove it so they never treated him for a bone infection.  According to the diagnostic testing, it appears that the bone infection moved from the great toe to the other side of the foot.  My husband ended up having a BELOW THE KNEE AMPUTATION due to the gross negligence of these doctors and the BWC when he only started out with a bone infection in his great toe.  You can't tell it from these photos but my husband could have been a foot model before he fell into the inept hands of the BWC.
