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..

My issue is the treatment and associated costs. The office sold me an an sleeve for support and boot to stretch my Achellis. The sleeve did not help and the boot only hurt me. I brought the boot in the have him examine the way I was using it. He had no input and I set it on the shelf. He also suggested that I under go shockwave therapy. 5 treatments for about $600 with one free, so it was a 6 treatment plan. I got no relief from the session and stopped them after 4. I had expected a refund for 2 sessions but the office said I was only entitled to a refund for 1 as the last one would be free. There is the real rub. First I had to decide to stop treatment (I think he should of stopped it after the second) and I was charged out of pocket for 4 treatments when it should of been 3. Bottom line: sold me on a bunch of treatments that did not work and I'm out about $600 plus whatever they charged my insurance.

He also said they would be following up with me to schedule follow up appointments and check on healing, and they have not. He was strongly recommending an MRI, which I did not want to do because of the cost, which was a large amount for me. When I asked him to explain why the MRI might be necessary, especially since the fracture was visible on the x-ray, so I could decide whether it was worth it, he was vague and dismissive. Additionally, the receptionist was outright rude and extremely unhelpful. I've had to call the office several times with billing questions and she was always the same way.
