Procedures Offered

Bunion Ankle Replacement Achilles Plantar Fasciitis

Bunion Surgery

Bunion surgery (bunionectomy) corrects the bony bump at the base of the big toe by realigning the metatarsal bone. Modern techniques include minimally invasive approaches with smaller incisions and faster recovery. Over 100,000 bunion surgeries are performed annually in the US.

Success rate: 85-90% | Recovery: 6-12 weeks | Weight bearing: 2-6 weeks post-op

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis treatment addresses inflammation of the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of the foot. Most cases resolve with conservative care — stretching, orthotics, physical therapy, and injections. Surgery (plantar fascia release) is reserved for cases that fail 6-12 months of non-surgical treatment.

Conservative success: 90%+ | Surgery recovery: 6-10 weeks | Common age: 40-60
