Start with what you feel

Does this sound familiar?

Foot pain often becomes “normal” one small compromise at a time. These are common signs it may be worth getting a specialist’s opinion.

01

A bump at your big-toe joint

Your shoes rub, walking hurts, or your big toe is beginning to crowd the others.

Ask about bunion care
03

Sharp heel pain that changes your stride

A heel spur may lead you to shift weight and change how you walk.

Ask about heel pain

Smaller approach. Clearer recovery.

Designed to minimize disruption—not your expectations.

Our minimally invasive technique uses specialized instruments through tiny incisions, often without internal hardware.

Will I really walk the same day?

Many patients can walk out in a post-op shoe. Your exact instructions depend on the procedure, foot treated, and your health.

How long does surgery take?

Many procedures take less than two hours, plus preparation and recovery time. Your team will give you a specific estimate.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, and other plans. HSA/FSA and payment options may be available. Medicaid/BadgerCare is not accepted.

Can both feet be treated?

Some patients can schedule both feet on back-to-back days. Your surgeon will recommend the safest plan for you.
