Recently Dr. Gale, of Dakota Foot and Ankle Clinic in Bismarck, was cited for improper medical practices. Our family believes that this was done unfairly as it has come to our attention that the board which oversees all this is improperly made up of members whose terms should already have expired. Also it should be taken into consideration how effective a practice Dr. Gale has.

And we feel it is very effective.

Dan Leno is suffering from dementia, heart disease, and diabetes. Perhaps a year and a half ago some doctors informed us that he would have to lose his right foot. His circulation was bad to both legs and he had developed some foot sores that we were informed were gangrenous. Dr. Gale had been working on his feet but these physicians felt his feet were beyond improving. So we set up an appointment for the amputation of his right foot and felt it would just be a matter of time before the left foot would probably be lost also.

Once Dr. Gale heard of this he telephoned our house and stated that he could
save Dan’s feet if just given some more time.

We agreed, and although Dan lost some toes, he has kept both legs and is
about 99.9% pain free.

So our family credits Dr. Gale for this and are very thankful to him.

Seriously, what more can you ask from a physician?

He has always been respectful and courteous to Dan and always explained to the family just what he is attempting to accomplish with his treatments - we just wish that more doctors would be like him.

In closing, we ask you to please reconsider the complaints filed against him by the North Dakota Board of Podiatric Medicine.

Cordially,

Delores Leno, Kirby Leno, Brian Leno
