Did you know?
-
Most foot and ankle surgeries are performed in an outpatient setting- that means surgery is often in the morning and patients go home the same day! No overnight hospitalization is required.
-
Prior to having foot and/or ankle surgery, you may be required to have pre-operative labs and imaging performed and a medical clearance by your primary care provider.
-
Our office staff will work with your insurance carrier prior to surgery to avoid unnecessary surprises and stress for you.
