Frequently Asked Questions
Are bunions always caused by shoes?
No — they’re often genetic, though tight shoes can make them worse.

We treat old or improperly healed fractures. Better late than never.
Do I need surgery for a neuroma or bunion?
Not always. We start with conservative care and only recommend surgery when necessary.
