After two weeks, I drove the twenty five miles down from Magalia to hopefully retrieve my shoes they were reconditioning. When I got there, I told the guy at the reception desk my name and I was there to pick up my shoes. I told him I left several messages and recieved no return calls. His reply was, "yeah we're super busy!" I got pissed. I have chronic severe pain and mental health issues and I too am "busy" trying to live life. What the hell kinda response is this? I hope since the selling of the business this isn't the Service Disabled Veterans are now going to be subject to? Sad, I have for 4 years had no complaints. Now two since Hangers took over! What a bummer!

This mainly covers my recent appointment with Nurse Practitioner James at the outpatient clinic on…read moreConcord and Bruce Road in Chico, California, my wife at the appointment with me. Nurse/Mr. James (James is his last name) was one of the most professional, knowledgeable nurses I have ever been seen by; he was more like a medical doctor in how he sorted through the complicated nature of this particular visit; on par with a truly great doctor though not having the additional formal medical doctorate training. Though Nurse James was initially somewhat blunt, that some make take as a little testy, he got right to the point. That is, asking for the main, general reason for my visit. On a side note here, my wife is my unofficial caregiver so she was heavily involved at my side in the exam room, as she always is in my overall healthcare. On that, briefly, we applied for her to become my VA approved caregiver quite some time ago (just over 5 years ago; our application on that is still awaiting approval, as the VA is backlogged and still very slow to act, re: big government healthcare bureaucracy found in huge federal institutions. Anyway, I digress, but, it is basically "apply then die" waiting in line, pretty much literally; so the visit we had with Nurse James deserves a perfect rating with the reason(s) why my wife and I are doing that in this forum. So, this visit with Nurse James was a welcome surprise as Nurse James listened carefully to my wife explaining my status, recent changes in my condition, as well as getting verbal input while he collected my vital signs. My wife is herself a doctor; a surgeon, doctor of dental surgery with many years working in both emergency rooms tending to trauma victims, triage, while maintaining her private practice in general dentistry/dental surgery across from a med-surge hospital and its emergency services division. The visit was amazingly productive as a new treatment plan, revision and adjustment of the one I was already on, that was a real life saver (literally actually), as I had been in and out of ER's for a couple of weeks prior/ongoing. Now, because of Nurse James' remarkable abilities, producing a comprehensive path forward that covered decades of health care going way back to the Vietnam war era (many, many injuries), my service in the US Marines, right up to the present, as if he were almost, somehow, a futuristic medical computer/robot (but of course a genuine/caring human being at the same time): Conclusion: Nurse James literally saved my life at this visit: To be fair to the VA overall, other doctors and nurses, various staff, at the VA outpatient Chico clinic had recently done over the past few weeks, the clinic, calling 911 on my behalf, interacting carefully with my wife prior, then, ongoing, her status as a dental surgeon and vast/decades of dental/medical/emergency experience; nurse James synchronized all of these variables to great effect. You join the Marines literally as a child as I did in 1973 at age 17, volunteered to go to Vietnam to fight for the American way of life, as well as go wherever they would send me, after the war finally ended in 1975, made it home alive beat up so bad nearly dead, recover a few years later, go back into the service, do it all again in the Army; my injury waivers were too extreme for the Marines standards needing something akin to superhuman physical condition to re-enter service. Nurse James made things happen that no one else could do till this visit with him. The VA, I dare say, should interview him, clone him in the sense of picking his mind, seeing how he ticks, ask him to give a presentation to other staff at all levels; it is hard to get the right words, but he is just different. Others at the Chico are as well, but Nurse James is, well, different. I was called in one time by a gigantic corporation after my Marine Corps and later Army service, asked by management and executives how I scored 100% on a certain licensing exam that no one had ever done: verbal questions/interviews, performing actions). The same should, I think, as does my wife that saw it herself in this visit, should be done with Nurse James. Now if we can just get my wife approved as my official Vietnam war era family caregiver program caregiver, where she is officially recognized as such, and the same done for many other Vietnam war era veterans in similar disabled condition as mine needing a full-time caregiver, that would be a great goal fulfilled for the necessary benefit of America. You fight for America, get horribly disabled, you get the care, including caregiver, that you earned, that sets America apart from healthcare programs other countries, especially America's enemies. When potential new, recruits in perfect health, consider joining the military, or face prospects of a future draft, they need to know a Nurse James, and your own life-saving family caregiver, America herself, will have your six.

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..

I found the doctor to be pretty unhelpful,…read morebeyond taking an x-ray, and he did not take much time to tell me anything about my fracture and how to treat it beyond "stay off it and use crutches." 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. I will not be going back for follow ups for my foot...I'll look for another podiatrist.
