I would not recommend Dr. DeWitt to anyone, and this is why.
I had significant pain in my big toe for years due to arthritis. I kept it more or less under control with periodic injections. My podiatrist recommended a Cheilectomy, which would have removed some of the bony arthritic material and eased the pain. I went to Dr. DeWitt for a second opinion. She sold me on a more extreme procedure, the fusing of the big toe joint but claimed it would be a one time procedure that would not have to be redone in a few years as a Cheilectomy would be. I went into the procedure with a great and hopeful attitude, but suffered severe nerve pain from the get go. Although I healed up great, the pain from the mangled nerve could not be controlled with conventional pain killers. Alternative drugs were having debilitating effects on me. I was assured the pain would go away within a year. It never did. Of course after a year had passed, Dr. DeWitt changed the "no pain" time frame to 2 years. This all caused me to miss opportunities to be with family, to work in my garden, to even sleep well for over a year.
Dr. DeWitt offered me no further relief. I finally went to another doctor and had another surgery to at least try to alleviate the nerve pain. The doctor removed the neuroma the plate and screws and I faced another long recovery, but with a numb toe instead of constant pain. The big toe still is on crooked, and interferes with the neighbor toe. I am unable to walk barefoot, I am unstable, and although I have it well padded, I end up with big sores on my toe if I walk too much. When I explained this to Dr. DeWitt, she answered, "it's not that bad". This has been a nightmare from both a physical suffering standpoint as well as using up my few remaining golden years.
While Dr. DeWItt feigns sympathy, she refuses to be able to see the damage she caused, or take responsibility for it. The cost of the second surgery has been entirely my responsibility. Warning... Her high self confidence is misplaced. read more
