Dr. Jacoby:
Well the fact that we haven’t had an amputation, my personally, in the last ten years since I have been trained in the Dellon technique is very gratifying. Now it doesn’t mean that won’t happen one day because what we don’t know is how long will this process keep diabetics away from the amputation. What we do know, at least in my experience, has been ten years, and that’s quite a phenomenal change in the current paradigm.
There are about 350 doctors in the United States, or actually around the world, who have been trained by Dr. Dellon, and my results are very similar to his results and everybody he has trained.
