I am writing to you regarding the recent surgical restrictions of Dr. Brian Gale.

I was in need of foot surgery for some time and was hesitant until I spoke to a former patient who highly recommended Dr. Brian Gale. I did have the surgery in January, 1999. After having followed Dr. Brian Gale’s post surgery instructions, my foot healed well in a timely manner. Dr. Brian Gale also has excellent patient communication skills which not all the  doctors I’ve had have.

Myself and several others I know are very disappointed with the Board’s decision. I was interested to learn that he members of the ND Board of Podiatric Medicine have had the same members for several years. According to the Century Code, one member is supposed to be changed each year which is not being done.

I believe Dr. Brian Gale is being treated unfairly. For his not being able to practice his profession would be a loss to our community. Therefore, I am hoping the ND Board of Podiatric Medicine will reconsider their decision (and) reinstate Dr. Brian Gale.

Sincerely,

Josphine Schatzp
