Helen M.

What was your initial medical issue?

I had a painful bunion and terrible foot cramps.

What did your pain or other symptoms prevent you from doing? 

I had difficult finding shoes to fit my feet, and couldn't walk for any length of time.

Why did you choose Dr. Neufeld and Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center?

My sister had the same issues with her feet and she was so pleased with the entire process and the people involved. She lives locally, I traveled from upstate New York so I was lucky to be able to stay with her.

What procedure/treatment did you have done?

Bunion removal, hammertoe of the right foot.

How did you feel after your treatment?

I was grateful it was over and done well. I had less pain than I thought I would and the operation was less invasive then I anticipated.

Do you have any advice for other patients?

Dr. Neufeld and his team are amazing. So much so that I will be having my other foot done as well. All I took for pain was Advil and Tylenol. Stay on top of that, keep your foot elevated as much as possible. Have a good book to read or some good TV series to keep you distracted!
