If you have a foot problem, then know your options. Not all foot problems are treated with surgery. You may only need cumstom-made orthotics to compensate for the problem, routine foot care or physical therapy or the newly introduced Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). We always search for the alternatives first. When you need foot surgery, you can trust us to use the latest methods, ranging from traditional, laser, minimal incision and endoscopic (heel) surgery to ensure your comfort and convenience. Surgical procedures of the foot and ankle are generally performed for relief of pain, restoration of function, and reconstruction of deformities. This may have the additional benefit of improved appearance. Surgical procedures performed solely for aesthetic purposes carry risks similar to those performed for more traditional reasons. Patients considering surgery of the foot or ankle, whether for medical or aesthetic reasons, are advised to consult a podiatrist who has the appropriate training, experience, and credentials to properly perform the surgery, manage the post-operative care, and treat possible complications.
