What was your initial medical issue?

I had a bunion on my left foot.

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

My foot was in almost constant pain and I was unable to wear many different types of shoes.

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

I heard amazing things about Dr. Neufeld from a friend who worked with him during her years in school.

What procedure/treatment did you have done?

I had minimally invasive bunion surgery to remove the bunion.

How did you feel after your treatment?

Initially, I was nervous about the recovery time. However, I was so happy with the duration of recovery and how easy it was for me to move around with my post-op boots/shoes. Dr. Neufeld and his team prepared me very well for what to expect the day of my surgery and gave excellent support post-surgery.

Do you have any advice for other patients?

I would strongly suggest going with Dr. Neufeld for any foot or ankle surgery needs. I instantly felt comfortable from the initial consultation all the way through my last post-operation visit. I would also keep in mind that, while it can be annoying at first, you are able to move around in a boot after the surgery, so don’t put off the surgery because you think you have to be bedridden for 4 months.
