Rene talks about his experience at UFAI and the bunion surgery that has him back running pain free.

We treat all foot and ankle problems from simple tendonitis, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), ankle sprains and fractures to the most complex reconstructive surgery such as ankle replacement, bunion surgery and limb salvage of the foot and ankle.

 

Our foot and ankle surgeons are internationally-recognized for their outstanding leadership and expertise in foot and ankle surgery. We pride ourselves on providing our patients with cutting-edge technology and surgical experience, provided in a family friendly environment.

 

Our goal is to get you back to your normal activities with the highest level of function, in the least amount of time, using the least invasive treatments possible.
