Patient's Perspective
Circulator Boot patient avoids amputation and sees signficant progress with initial treatments
Hello:
It has
been a year now since I called you to explore the Circulator Boot
option for my mother. She had been told that amputation was the
only relief for her severe leg pain and ulcerated toes.
While I am sure you
will not remember, I called you out of desperation after her doctor
advised me to prepare to place her into a nursing home after her
amputation surgery.
Your staff quickly put me in touch with the Mayo Clinic
in Rochester, MN and the next day she was in route. After her
first boot treatment, she slept in a prone position for the first time
in months.
Several boot
sessions led to some rework in her angioplasty. The boot was used
moving forward and I am very happy to say she never made it into the
nursing home. She lives on her own to this day and walks more
than she has in years. We are forever grateful for your caring
attention and direction.
Without you, she would be an amputee and a very sad one at that.
Please feel free to contact me for an additional testimonial or use this in any way that you see fit!
Best regards,
SM
