Premier Podiatrist In New York, NY

Many of our patients walk right after bunion surgery. You go home in a special boot or cast that allows early walking while the bone heals, and many patients are back in running sneakers around day 10. Your surgeon sets your exact timeline at your follow-up visits.

Yes, when it is right for you. Our surgeons can correct both feet in a single procedure, so you go through one recovery instead of two. Whether it fits your case depends on your exam, your health and your daily routine.

Most bunion surgeries are outpatient and take about one hour. We usually numb the foot with local anesthesia, sometimes with a mild sedative so you stay comfortable. Small medical-grade screws hold the corrected bone in place while it heals.

Surgery makes sense when a bent toe stays bent even in wider shoes, or when pain and corns from the joint rubbing on your shoes limit how much you can walk. Hammertoe surgery straightens the toe and corrects the joint that causes the rubbing.

Yes. Our surgeons specialize in bunion revision surgery and hammertoe revisions for problems that returned or never healed right. We review your surgical history, find out why the first procedure did not hold, and plan a correction that can include realigning the bone or removing irritating hardware.

We see patients at two offices, one in Manhattan and one in Staten Island. You will find both addresses and our phone number under Our Locations, right below. Your first consultation is free: your surgeon reviews your symptoms and history, examines your foot and ankle, and talks you through surgical and non-surgical options.
