Conditions we treat
Bunions (hallux valgus)
The big toe drifts out of place and a painful bump forms on the side of the foot, making it hard to walk and wear shoes.
Foot & ankle fractures
Broken bones in the foot or ankle — from sports injuries to falls — that need to be realigned and heal properly to restore mobility.
Ankle instability
An ankle that "gives way" or twists again and again, from ligaments that didn't heal well after repeated sprains.
Achilles tendon
Pain, inflammation, or rupture of the tendon connecting the calf to the heel — essential for walking, running, and jumping.
Claw / hammer toes
Toes that bend permanently into an abnormal position, causing pain and rubbing against the shoe.
We also treat
- Plantar fasciitis / heel spur
- Ankle arthritis
- Morton's neuroma
- Flat foot / high arch
- Diabetic foot
How we assess your case, honestly
Not all foot and ankle problems need surgery. Before talking about operating, we do a complete clinical exam and order the imaging needed to confirm your diagnosis precisely and plan the right treatment for your case.
Often, the answer isn't the operating room. There are many options — from physical rehabilitation to therapies that stimulate tissue recovery — to improve your function, when your case allows.
And if your case does require surgery, we explain the procedure step by step, calmly and with all the time you need, until you don't have a single doubt left. You never decide blindly.
What many patients ask us
- Restoring your mobility and helping you return to an active life is the goal of every treatment. Every case is different and assessed individually; in your evaluation, we clearly explain what you can expect based on your situation.
- Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and the specifics of each case. In your evaluation, we give you a clear idea of the estimated time for you, so you can plan with peace of mind.
- Post-operative pain is usually well controlled with standard medications. Our priority is to support you so your recovery is as comfortable as possible.
- When the case allows, we use minimally invasive techniques that aim for small incisions and a more discreet recovery. In your evaluation, we review which technique is right for you.
