Foot and Ankle Surgeon

The surgeries to treat hammertoes, bunions, and plantar fasciitis are usually quite brief and only take about an hour. Patients can return home the same day.


For every type of foot or ankle surgery, there will be a recovery period of several weeks. During this time it is important to limit the amount of stress on the feet to allow for complete recovery. For some patients, this means staying off their feet and not walking around too much.

Foot surgery can improve many conditions, including:

  • Hammertoes
  • Bunions
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Morton’s neuroma
  • Metatarsal problems
  • Tibias posterior dysfunction
  • Achilles tendon injuries
  • Arthritis of the ankle

As foot and ankle surgeons, these are only a few of the many lower extremity maladies that we treat. 

We have helped over 70,000 patients and performed over 10,000 surgeries.
