Are Bunions Limiting Your Activities and Lifestyle?

Bunions can be very painful. With each step, your entire body weight rests on that bunion. Ouch! Conservative treatment options can help alleviate pain, but will not fix the problem because bunions are a progressive disorder that will not go away on their own without surgical correction.

Bunions Are More Than a Bump

Bunion Surgery Has Changed

A common misconception is that a bunion is simply a “bump” that can be “shaved off.” But, bunions are more than a bump – they are complex 3D problems caused by an unstable joint in the middle of the foot. While the majority of bunion surgery is only 2D and fails to address the root cause, the Lapiplasty® Procedure provides a 3D correction and secures the unstable joint.

I have a very long and extensive history with a very bad dislocation/break I had almost 12 years ago. Dr. Parker was not the one who did my initial surgery nor did he do my follow up surgery but after being left with chronic pain, I went to him to see if anything could be done. I was warned beforehand that he likes to take the time with each patient, so take a book. Fortunately, I did not have any issues with waiting. There were some mix ups with insurance but it was on the insurance end not on their end and we had it fixed before we left. I have been to several specialist for my foot issues and never has anyone done such a comprehensive detailed exam on my foot. I was given options and all questions were answered. I was able to get the procedure done the same day in office and everyone was so kind. I did not respond well to the numbing (through no fault of anyone) and Dr. Parker and his staff were so kind to me and apologetic for something outside of their control. I am so thankful for Dr. Parker and his staff and I am hopeful for living a life with less pain. I can not recommend him and his practice enough.

What an incredible experience with Dr. Parker and team. The office has so much character, well established, cozy, nice decor, great equipment and up to date technology in treatments. I’m impressed with Dr. Parker’s knowledge, confidence and human side. He took the time with me, as well as Lora, Stacy scheduling my appointments etc. A big part of getting physically well is feeling welcomed and receive good treatment by the medical teams.
