What is minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery uses needle-sized instruments to diagnose and treat various conditions.
These smaller instruments are ideal for foot and ankle procedures as they allow for more precise treatments, smaller incisions, less pain and faster recovery. Surgeries are performed in an outpatient setting, meaning patients often go home the same day as the surgery.
Research and innovation
In addition to caring for patients across the country, our providers are on the forefront of foot and ankle surgery research.
“For two years, I limped around in pain. I visited several doctors who prescribed shots, stretches and even wearing a boot. Nothing worked.
Dr. Gonzalez knew immediately what the problem was, and which minimally invasive surgery was needed to correct it. It was called a Haglund’s Deformity, where the heel bone had a bone spur, which was putting pressure on my Achilles tendon.The surgery and recovery were the easiest I have ever had. The first two weeks of recovery were the hardest. Being non weight bearing is not an easy thing to do!
I saw Dr. Gonzalez every two weeks to check on my progress. It has been almost 3 months, and I can walk pain free. After two years of constant pain while walking, it is wonderful to have it fixed by a caring, patient and highly skilled doctor. I would recommend Dr. Gonzalez to anyone.”
