My father had been a patient of Dr. David Knapp for several years. When Dad developed a sore on his foot Dr. Knapp was ineffective and disinterested in treating the wound.
My father developed a sore on his foot which was exacerbated by diabetes. Over a period of time, visits with Dr. Knapp and trips to the ER, there didn't seem to be any improvement. I took my Dad to a podiatrist in Tucson, AZ (70 miles away from Sierra Vista) to have him look at the wound. The podiatrist personally called and talked to Dr. Knapp requesting that Dr. Knapp set up an appointment for my Dad with wound care and schedule another medical test at our local hospital. Dr. Knapp did not act on either request from the podiatrist in Tucson. Instead, I (his daughter) set up both appointments. While doing the wound care, the sore on Dad's foot got worse and I made another appointment with Dr. Knapp. An intern working in Dr. Knapp's office at the time looked at Dad's foot and recommended to Dr. Knapp that he admit Dad to the hospital and begin him on a regimen of IV antibiotics. Dr. Knapp did not take the time to look at the wound, discarded the inter's recommendation, and told the intern to just release Dad with a script for antibiotics. Dad followed the directions given on the script, but the foot worsened. He ended up in the hospital with advanced gangrene and the foot had to be amputated. Complications from which eventually led to my Dad's death. I would not recommend nor would I take my pets for any medical treatment from Dr. David Knapp.
