Ray Burgess lived with Type 2 diabetes for 20 years, feeling fine—until he didn't. Like many, Ray didn't realize that uncontrolled blood sugar could lead to silent issues like metabolic neuropathy, where you lose the protective sensation in your feet.

After a foot infection led to the amputation of a toe, Ray knew he needed a change. When a second, severe infection appeared on his heel, the multidisciplinary team at St. Luke’s Health – The Woodlands Hospital stepped in.

Through a combination of minimally invasive vascular procedures by Dr. David Kuten and advanced muscle flap reconstruction by podiatrist Dr. Efthymios Gkotsoulias, Ray was able to heal completely in just six weeks.

There is something truly powerful about coming together to serve those in need.
