Bunion and Hammertoe Surgery

A Smaller Surgery for a Faster, Easier Recovery

‍If bunions or hammertoes are making it painful to walk or you’re embarrassed to wear open shoes, you’re not alone. However, the idea of major foot surgery may be holding you back from getting the relief you need.

At DD Podiatry, we offer minimally invasive surgery for bunions and hammertoes so you can get relief with smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker recovery.
