Featuring minimally invasive bunion, hammertoe, and heel spur syndrome (plantar fasciitis) surgeries

Severe bunion repaired with correction of hammertoes, 2nd-5th toes

Picture
Before and 3.5 months after surgery. Each hammertoe is fixed without pins or implants, and each incision is 2-3 mm long and closed with a single stitch.

Correction of painful toe corns

The first picture shows a corn on the tip of the 3rd toe. These corns can be very painful, and they usually come back after  shaving and use of corn pads.
We can get rid of these corns permanently using a one-stitch, in-office procedure where we smooth down the bone at the tip of the toe.
  Similar simple procedures can be performed to resolve corns and calluses in other areas.
Picture
BEFORE. Notice the corn on the tip of the 3rd toe..
Picture
AFTER. The tip of the 3rd toe is smooth and pain-free.

Heel spur syndrome (plantar fasciitis) surgery
This video shows our older one-stitch approach.  I now use a smaller incision, about 2mm long, and no stitch is needed.
