PODIATRISTS IN THE COMMUNITY - PART 2

IA Podiatrist Retires After 47 years

 

“I didn’t call what I did work. I loved what I did,” said podiatrist Randy Crampton, DPM, 72, as he prepares to retire from his Storm Lake practice after 47 years.The graduate of Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine rented the building in 1977. It was formerly inhabited by MDs Art Ames and Paul Brecher who were retiring at the time. His ability to perform surgery was a step up from foot doctor Bob Morris, DPM who was also retiring at the time.

R.L. Crampton Foot and Ankle Clinic expanded to satellite offices in Spencer in 1978 and Denison soon after that. Crampton’s patients are saying goodbye to the “white shirt guy,” – he always wears a white shirt – as his last day approaches. He’s not moving though. Retirement will offer him more time to spend with his wife Cheryl on their acreage south of Storm Lake.
