Home Testimonials Janet F.

Janet F.

What was your initial medical issue?

I had a bunion on my right foot that had been getting progressively worse over the past few years.

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

I experienced daily pain whether standing in place or walking. It was almost unbearable to wear any type of high heels.

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

I read an article last year about Dr. Neufeld’s minimally invasive bunion surgery. The article linked to a video featuring a patient story that I watched and I felt optimistic this may be something that would work for me.

What procedure/treatment did you have done?

I had minimally invasive bunion surgery on my right foot.

How did you feel after your treatment?

I felt numbness in my foot for the first two days as the numbing medication wore off. The only pain medication I used was at bedtime for the first three nights and this was mainly to help me sleep through the night. I did not need to take any medication during the day. I was fully weight-bearing and wearing comfy tennis shoes 4 weeks post-op with only some soreness around the small incision site.  

Do you have any advice for other patients?

I would recommend anyone dealing with foot pain to schedule a consultation to see Dr. Neufeld. I was hesitant for a while to seek treatment because I did not want surgery. But, after meeting with him and learning that I was a candidate for minimally invasive surgery I was much more comfortable. The whole surgical process from check-in at the surgery center to returning home was only a couple of hours. Totally worth it!
