I have been to Mayo and have not returned happy about some of my service there. Dr Whalen performed Orthopedic surgery on my right foot in removing the infected big toe. The wound that allowed the big toe to get infected was not taken care of and this wound is still an issue. Then Dr S. A. Shapiro begin to work on this right foot along with continuing on my left foot that had a small ulcer on bottom of foot.
The last visit Nov 11 2011 Dr Shapiro managed to cause both right and left foot wounds to get larger until I redressed and now they are both closing with CellerateRX and manuka honey treatment. I have asked several times for Dr Whalen to think about addressing the small bone protrusion on the bottom of my left foot and I finally have given up on his help.
I see that since my insurance BCBS of Florida negotiates a cost that they will pay I get not top of the line care from Doctors not sure what that is about.
I need you to understand that all the nurses and Dr Whalen’s PA have been fabulous except for one of Dr Shapiro’s nurses. They have always treated me marvelously, so I give them a 95% but the Doctors I would have to give Whalen a 35% and Shapiro a 25% rating just from my experience.
We are so sorry to hear about your experience at Mayo Clinic with Dr. Whalen and Dr. Shapiro and thank you for discussing your concerns with us. It would be best for you to contact the Office of Patient Affairs to explain your situation and have it addressed by their staff. Please call the main number 904-953-2000 and the operator will direct you to the appropriate representative. Thank you.
