My son Billy, age 42, has a disease what is known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT). He has had this disease for 5 years. We continued to go to doctor after doctor, trying to figure out what was going on with my son. One day, someone from the Health Department mentioned Dr. Chad Webster, DPM. He is a Podiatrist in Cordova, Memphis and Atoka, TN. So I called and made an appointment and took Billy to see him. When we went to Dr. Chad, keep in mind my son had open ulcers on bottom of his feet and could not walk without assistance of a cane due to deformities from the disease. X-rays were taken and he treated Billy’s wounds. Due to the open wounds and Diabetes, Billy just wasn’t healing. Made another appointment, and it was on the second visit that Dr. Chad diagnosed Billy with CMT. His wounds were staying infected and he was in and out of the hospital a few times. Then Dr. Chad recommended surgery. Dr. Chad and Dr. Butler, went in and removed some bones and lengthened his tendon, which allowed Billy to walk again, without walking on the side of his foot. His wound healed and now my son is able to walk on his foot. Billy and I would recommend Dr. Chad to anyone needing any type of foot care. He was so optimistic throughout Billy’s journey and we are so thankful that Dr. Chad listened to our struggles and was able to repair and fix my son. He now has a better quality of life and without Dr. Chad, this would not have been possible!
Sincerely,
Carolyn Smith and William Rankin
