💪 Back on the Water at 69 🌊

Just a few months ago, my 69-year-old patient underwent subtalar joint fusion surgery to relieve chronic pain and restore stability.

Today, she’s back to water skiing — pain-free and loving life again! Her determination and positive outlook made all the difference.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. 🙌

This morning I saw a new patient. The daughter was super upset at us because they only have Medicare part A “hospital coverage”. The daughter was confused and screaming at me and my office for booking the appointment “promising” we took part A. I continued to calmy explain the situation and try diffuse the situation 💣
Eventually, she agreed to pay out of her own pocket for the treatment to treat her mother. I then completed the treatment with no less care than i would for my own family.

At the end, the daughter walked out of the room with her mother, and continued complaining to me about insurance. 😓

I politely told them that today is my Birthday and there is “No Charge”.

They were shocked, grateful, and humbled at the same time. 😵‍💫

I almost got teary eyed because i knew it was difficult but the right thing to do.

Yesterday's EHL tendon repair was a huge success, and it's all thanks to this excellent surgical team! 🙌

This was our patient's second surgery, performed to address a prior surgical complication from another surgeon. In recovery, after no movement since 2018, her toe moved, bringing tears of pure joy. This is what it's all about – life-changing moments made possible by dedication and expertise!

Got a painful bunion? Difficulty wearing shoes?
Don’t settle for less. The Lapiplasty procedure is what we recommend for bunion surgery. Do surgery right the first time.
