Riverside Doctors' Hospital Williamsburg

Last week, about 1,700 runners laced up for the Christmas Town Dash at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Riverside Health was right there with them!

This year, our team didn’t just cheer from the sidelines. Sports medicine physician Dr. Stephanie Giammittorio joined the runners on the course, bringing her passion for movement and community right into the heart of race day. 🏃‍♀️

Alongside our dedicated clinicians and staff who provided expert care and support, Dr. Giammittorio helped ensure every participant felt safe, strong, and encouraged from start to finish.

We’re honored to be part of this beloved community tradition and proud of our Riverside team for showing up with energy, expertise, and plenty of holiday spirit.🎄

Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, supported, and helped runners cross the finish line with confidence! 💚

🔍 Redefining Bunion Surgery: Less Invasive. More Effective.

At Riverside, we believe the future of foot and ankle care is here — and it’s minimally invasive.
In this behind-the-scenes look inside the OR, fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Jeff Levy, D.O., performs a real-time minimally invasive bunion correction procedure.

Why this technique matters:
✅ Smaller incisions = less scarring
✅ Faster recovery = quicker return to activity
✅ Less pain = improved patient experience
✅ High precision = better outcomes

Dr. Levy shares his expert insight on:
• How this advanced surgical approach works
• What the typical recovery timeline looks like
• Why it’s changing the standard of care for bunion patients

💡 For patients and referring providers alike, this is a meaningful step forward in orthopedic innovation and patient-centered care.
