Never Dismiss A Problem...

...even if you are wearing a quality shoe!

We see a lot of patients that have bunions and hammer toes, intermetatarsal neuromas, and even what’s called Taylor’s bunion or bunionettes and that’s the bunion on the outside. We treat a lot of patients between conservative care and we also do a lot of surgery. We try the conservative care and when a patient fails that, then we talk to them about surgical intervention. Dr. Vail is well trained and can do a variety of surgical procedures in order to correct the bunion, hammer toes, and Taylor’s bunion or intermetatarsal neuromas.

However, be sure to call for an appointment as soon as you have a problem. The earlier it can be treated, the less difficult it will be to remedy.

Hammer is one of the most painful conditions. This abnormal bending can put pressure on the toe when wearing shoes, causing problems to develop. There are a variety of treatment options for hammertoe. The treatment your foot and ankle surgeon selects will depend upon the severity of your hammertoe and other factors.
