Dr Simchuk did my VSG surgery 3 years ago and every step went perfectly! I found him to be caring and attentive!

I had an ankle replacement a little over 2 months ago. Before the surgery I had severe pain and…read morehad a hard time walking. Now I have no pain and walk very well. I have complete flexibility in my ankle. Also Dr Stoddard explains things in a way the average person can understand. I would highly recommend him. Maria Grant Redding

In 11.5 hours I report to MMC Mt Shasta for amputation of left great toe. I'm scheduled to start…read moreradiation treatments in two weeks for prostate cancer but thats unlikely now.. How could this happen? I live in Mount Shasta, CA.. I'd been visiting a podiatrist in Redding, CA and his successor from Autumn, 2016 thru Sept, 2020 for toe fungus infection (originally) and then routine foot care (69 yo).. It was time to visit a closer D.P.M. In Mountain Shasta.. Dr. Stoddard was contracted thru local hospital and was less than 1/2 mi away. My first visit was 12/1/2020. He entered room, asked me what I was there for. (Routine foot exam, nail clipping).. As he snipped he proceeded to lecture me because I wore a protective mask during pandemic. He launched into attacking liberals/Dems. Just turned and walked out when finished and said over his shoulder "tell desk ten weeks".. Most every visit was a carbon copy of the first.. That's not a big deal.. there's lots of rude people one meets over the years.. Things started getting weird, however in March, 2023. I'd stood at home and my right foot didn't pivot as I turned left.. All my weight came down on right great toe and it broke.. It turned almost black and swelled.. I had an appointment with Dr Stoddard two days later, but he refused to see me because he "doesn't touch injuries or infections".. He had an X-ray order called in, a blood test for white blood cell count and had staff get me an offloading toe boot. He said come back in 30 days.. When I returned as told, he asked why I was there (?).. I reminded him and he said he didn't remember me (over 2 years in his care.. ten visits).. I'd taken photos of x-rays and he asked to see them and radiologist's report.. Then I had my routine care.. On next routine visit, July 12, 2023, my life changed forever.. My wife, a retired RN, said to ask him to sand down a callus on same toe that had been infected so it wouldn't crack and get toe fungus again.... Dr. Stoddard and I had discussed that entire episode previously.. He asked what I was there for (??), then proceeded to lay me back.. I take Eliquis (blood thinner) for a DVT in left calf and have venous stasis/peripheral neuropathy (all items fully avail for him to read IN MY CHART!!).. I didn't hear him sanding and figured he was using a soft touch.. Then he snapped off his gloves, walked out and said "tell desk 10 weeks!" When nurse came in she damn near fell over.. She raised me up, and there on the ground was a blood-soaked absorbent pad.. She staunched the blood flow and put a band-aid on open wound.. HE'D USED A SCALPEL and cut the callus off down to the meat.. The next day I took a photo and then three months later needed to begin weekly wound care at MMC MS clinic.. Since I have afore-mentioned conditions, the ulceration that resulted from botched callus removal hasn't healed, despite obtaining a foot boot hyperbaric chamber via VA.. 107 visits later, X-rays/MRIs/numerous ER visits/antibiotics have shown I now have osteomyelitis.. So my toe will be removed in early afternoon.... Needless to say, the contracting hospital refused to renew his contract (I wasn't the only butchered patient).. He made it EZ for them.. He'd insisted on more preferential consideration regarding days/hours.. Hospital simply said "No".. So I just thought people ought to know about him and - having read these reviews, I can see many already have their own horror stories..

Kelly is not only a wonderful nurse, but she is a wonderful person. She put together a patient user…read morefriendly video and e-book guide on post-op surgical care. I only wish I had found her two months prior to my surgeries. I had major multiple surgeries and felt so ill-prepared for the post care. My husband was home to help me for a few days, but felt a little lost. He then had to go back to work and I was alone with our geriatric doggie and a lengthy recovery. I found Kelly, after-the-fact, and had another surgery scheduled three months later. My husband had already made arrangements to take off work for the week and help take care of me or else I would have hired Kelly because she was available. So, I did the next best thing ... I signed up for her post surgical care guide, and together my husband and I binge-watched her very informative videos, printed out and went over her e-book with step-by-step directions, tips and tricks with suggestions for helpful healing tools to purchase at the drug store, as well as yummy recipes she has for optimal nutritional healing. She also recommends an extremely helpful foam bed wedge pillow set - for back and legs support, sleeping upright, and surgical recovery, which has been the best investment, along with soft and easy convenient round sized ice packs. I could have really used them with my previous surgeries. Although Kelly and I have not met in person, which I hope we do sometime, I have spoken with her on the phone. She is very personable, helpful, compassionate, kind, sincere, trustworthy, caring and goes the extra mile to help. Seeing her in her videos, I get the feeling like I know her and I believe you will too. I truly recommend her for your personal surgical recovery nurse and/or her video and e-book surgical recovery program, which is included when you hire her for your post-op care. Follow her on Facebook and IG for her updates at KellyGreytokRN.

My health is important to me. So when facing surgery I asked my surgeon about private duty nurses…read more I was referred to Kelly Greytok. After speaking with Kelly I was confident she was the qualified processional I needed to handle my recovery care at home. Kelly not only has the medical qualification, she is a caring, compassionate person and dedicated to your recovery. I was luck she had an opening on her schedule. My aftercare, like many surgical procedures left me with multiple drains, dressing change, medications, etc. Things I was not familiar with nor prepared to deal with. Of course the print-outs and verbal instructions you receive at discharge don't truly help, even if you can remember what was said. Especially me, an accountant!! During my recovery, Kelly handled everything, she observed challenges I was experiencing and presented alternatives that made it much easier for me. Kelly keep my physician updated, trained me on doing the the drains, dressings, etc. Kelly not only provided excellent physical care, emotional support, encouragement to me, she was awesome with my best friend, Jesse James, my dog. I cannot say enough about Kelly and highly recommend her, if you are recovering at home, you need to have Kelly. Bonnie G
