DO NOT TRUST YOUR FEET WITH THIS DOCTOR!…read more I visited Dr. Del Monte to have a few corns removed from my small toes on both feet. They weren't causing me any pain and it was only a cosmetic concern. At my consultation, he was quick to say I'd need surgery and given all the positive reviews I read on here I trusted him with all my heart and proceeded with the surgery. On the day of the surgery, a nurse asked me during pre-op if I was there for hammertoe surgery. This surprised me, as I had only asked Dr. Del monte to remove a few corns. When I brought it up with him, he explained, 'It's the same thing.' I trusted him and didn't question him any further. During our consultation, Dr. Del Monte had also convinced me to have my bunion removed. He explained that he would use a new procedure called lapiplasty, which involves inserting a metal plate to correct the deformity. He assured me that this technique was much simpler than a traditional bunionectomy and promised a three-month recovery time, with my feet looking great afterward. Fast forward to 8 months post-surgery, I realized that I can no longer curl up my toes like I used to. My toes can now only fan up and down in one direction (like a plastic doll's toes) and they were shortened too (something which I had do never asked him to do). Regarding the lapiplasty portion of the surgery, the recovery was far from the easy experience I was led to expect. It changed the way I walk, requiring me to undergo hours of physical therapy. I even had to have another surgery to remove the plate in hopes of finding relief and improving my gait, but unfortunately, that did not help. Dr. Del Monte downplayed the significance of the surgery and failed to adequately explain what it would entail. His poor clinical judgment has caused me immense pain and depression, to the point where I've been on antidepressant medication for over a year now. I'm only 30 years old and I've never faced as many issues as I have following the surgeries performed by Dr. Del Monte. I no longer enjoy doing yoga and pilates classes as I used to given how stiff and rigid my toes feel. My toes no longer feel natural and I constantly wear socks to avoid seeing the awful scars that have been left behind. I do not recommend getting surgery with Dr. Del Monte. He tried to make money of me and test a metal plate at the expense of costing me my mental and physical wellbeing. Once I addressed these issues with him, he only gaslit me by saying corn removal surgery and hammer toe surgery are the same thing and he constantly downplayed the situation by saying it will get better. I'm now almost 2 years post-surgery and things have not gotten better and I continue to struggle every single day. I even sought a second opinion from another qualified surgeon, who informed me that this surgery should never have been performed in the first place and there is no way to reverse any of it. If anyone is considering this type of bunion surgery, please do not let him talk you into it. I strongly urge you to join the "Lapiplasty before, during, after" Facebook group. There, you can read the experiences of hundreds of patients who, like me, were persuaded to undergo surgery by surgeons more interested in testing their devices than in the well-being of their patients. I have attached before-and-after pictures of my feet for reference. As you can see, I didn't even have a significant bunion; I sought this surgery solely for cosmetic reasons, but I ended up worse off. Doctors are supposed to be healers and take an oath to do no harm. Sadly this doctor did the opposite and I regret going to him with all my heart.

I went to Dr John Delmonte on November 2023 because of pain on bunion, right away he recommended a…read morenew procedure called Labplasty, he said recovery would only be 6 weeks, one year later I'm so much worse off than before, after 8 weeks I kept complaining of pain and he was dismissive, kept saying it was normal and just kept prescribing medication, after 5 months of pain and discomfort he decided to remove the hardware he had put into my foot, I still was not getting better so in June 2024 I decided to go see another doctor who proceeded to get me an MIR and a CT scan which Dr Delmonte never suggested to find out what was happening,the Ct revealed that two of my bones are not fused, the new doctor told me that in her opinion the surgery that he performed was to aggressive for such a simple problem. Now I have to deal with another operation, which would make it the third in less than a year, I'm in constant pain, my foot gets swollen if I walk more than an hour and I have numbness which new doctor said is irreversible, my life has changed so much, I can only wear sneakers, if I even wear flats my foot is swollen in less than an hour, please don't go to Dr Delmonte,when I used to go to him I started paying attention and realize that he would suggest surgery to so many of his patients,I am going to file a complaint against him, my life hasn't been the same. I wrote this in hopes that I may help people not go thru what I'm going thru

My son referred me to him. I checked out his Instagram and realized that Dr Wong specializes in Bunionplasty. I thought to myself, I want him to do my surgery. I scheduled a consultation with him. He proofs to be experienced, knowledgeable and works with innovative techniques. On top of that he is genuinely a very nice and professional doctor. Dr Wong explained the procedure and process step by step. Surgery was a breeze and painless. I walked out of the hospital with a cane after surgery. Pain after surgery is minimal. Pain medicine and Tylenol was able to take care of that. Recovery requires a little patience but I'm back on my feet in time frame that was expected. I have both of my feet done, two weeks apart and i have received the same profession experience both times. It's been 3 months since my surgery and i am very happy with how my feet looks and feel. So far i am wearing sneakers and am able to travel and move around comfortably on my feet. Dr David Wong is the best doctor to choose if you are considering bunion correction. I would give him a 5 star review and a A+++.
