I have been operating on bunions now for over 15 years and have performed 1000’s of bunionectomies. I continue to enjoy working on bunions as the surgical results are satisfying for both the patient and physician. Bunions come in all sizes and present in all ages from teenagers to adults. Many patients seek out care for bunions and some choose to have them fixed. It is important to note that not everyone is a surgical candidate and not every bunion requires surgical intervention.
Surgical care for a bunion can provide excellent results. One of the most common procedures is the Lapiplasty bunionectomy. It has shown exceptional follow up and long term outcomes. I find the Lapiplasty to be very reproducible and have high patient satisfaction. It is not appropriate on every patient nor is it the only bunion procedure I find highly successful.
My office has an onsite surgical center that we utilize for bunion surgery. It is a significant cost savings and time savings for patients. It utilizes monitored anesthesia care with a nerve block of the lower extremity. If you have a bunion and would like a consultation please feel free to call the office at 425-391-8666 or schedule an appointment online.
Sincerely,
