My GP referred me to Podiatry with an infection on my right big toe. I came in and saw Andrew and Jess, they made to decision to admit me to Doncaster Royal infirmary. I then spent several weeks in hospital, the end result being the amputation of my right big toe. Being a type 1 diabetic, blood circulation was poor, and the hospital wanted to amputate my right leg below the knee, to enable it to heal.
I then paid for my own hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment, but most important, the care and treatment from every single member of staff at Cantley Podiatry has been absolutely amazing, I can’t thank them enough, and two years on, I stand full intact with all my limbs, apart from my big toe, but fully healed and able to live my life normal. They are an incredible and amazing team of people. A special word and a massive thank you goes out to Jess, who is an amazing young lady, and has seen my story from cradle to grave.
Thank You Jess.
Thank you to members of Staff at Cantley Podiatry.
