WHAT TO EXPECT

Dr. Geldwert takes the time to put his knowledge to work for you. Not all foot surgeons understand the importance of healthy feet. Dr. Geldwert, on the other hand, takes your feet very seriously and you can be sure that your feet come first.

Dr. Geldwert’s expertise lays in using an innovative procedure to correct bunions. Not all bunions are fixed the same way. Every patient deserves individual attention and care. The type of bunion procedure depends on several factors including the severity of the bunion and mobility of the joint. He does not use a one-size-fits-all approach to correcting bunions.

Minimally invasive surgery is done through tiny cuts that avoid the major arteries, blood vessels, and nerves in the foot greatly reducing the risk of injury to those structures and the risk of infection. He has the experience to make bunion surgery easier and less painful for the patient.

More importantly, his goal is to get you back on your feet in 48 hours. In most cases, recovery is painless and before long you will be stepping out in your favorite fashionable shoes again.

Dr. Geldwert is also the inventor of a surgical device for correcting bunions without the need to break a bone. This device is awaiting FDA approval.
