The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics is redefining the way musculoskeletal care is delivered across the region with locations throughout Maryland, DC, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
For the past 14 years I've had chronic aching pain in both feet, but mainly my left foot.
Why did you choose Dr. Neufeld and The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center?
Dr. Neufeld has been treating my foot pain for over 14 years now. Many years ago he cleaned out my joint, but he said the only way to guarentee no pain would be to fuse the two bones that make up the joint at the base of my big toe. I eventually came back because of the pain. Dr. Neufeld has been a very trusted doctor to me for many years and I have a lot of faith in him.
What procedure/treatment did you have done?
I had a great toe fusion done 4 months ago.
How did you feel after your treatment?
I'm a few months post-op and I feel just fine. Immediately after the surgery I was back on my feet within a day or two. I didn't need any medication afterwards either. Now I'm back to my normal life!
Do you have any advice for other patients?
Don't be afraid of the surgery- it works! Hopefully I'll never have pain in my toe again.
