Dr Marc Danziger is my man! (Meaning), he has done the majority of my ortho surgeries. So of course I went to see Dr Danziger about my bunion he told me that bunions aren't in his wheelhouse. but he did recommended Dr. Benjamin Stein. Dr. Ben is in the same "Practice" so I knew he would be good. Dr. Marc set me up an appt. for the next day... I read up on Dr Ben and this guy has serious "clout" in the foot and ankle ortho world READ HIS BIO I went into the appt knowing I was in good hands. My bunion was not only ugly but was interfering with my day to day and it hurt by days end. I had a lot of question for Dr Ben and he guided me to the best way to address my bunion. On a side note, I was fascinated by the engineering behind the surgery , Dr Stein answered all my questions and it was fascinating how the procedure is done and also the history of bunion surgery and all it's advances. Dr Ben is great/efficient/quick so I wasn't under anesthesia long. I know that is a concern for some people, but I have a strong heart asf Props to the Mass Ave Surgical Center! lol, not my first trip there and always "concierge" service. Everyone's post-op is gonna be different...mine required ICE! Ice on the ankle to manage post op pain. After a day I really didn't have pain to speak of. Swelling, yes. That took some time to recede but it is the foot and I am not one to sit around. I subscribe to and practice "active recovery" I bought a knee scooter but rarely used it. I mostly used a crutch or walked on the heel of my foot in a boot ...OH!! post-procedure-showers. I found the best shower-bootie. I'll include a photo in the pics. My bone was completely healed in two months! Swelling...four months Bottm line, Dr Ben is your man! I recommend him to my clients that endure with bunions asf read more
