Understanding Foot & Ankle Surgery
When Is Foot or Ankle Surgery Considered?
Dr. Haspel always looks first for conservative solutions to foot and ankle problems. There are circumstances, however, when conservative treatment fails to relieve a painful condition. Only then is surgery considered.
Once the decision for surgery has been made, Dr. Haspel guides you through the entire process, from evaluation and pre-operative care to the procedure and post-operative care.
