There is a lot to remember when one is having surgery. It is easy to forget something. B. One should at least have the bunion looked at by a qualified specialist, who specializes in the area of the foot, and is board certified by a Board Specialist in the area of the foot and Ankle. C. Should you decide to have surgery, research your surgeon, as within any area of a specialty. Podiatrist, perform most foot surgeries as they are trained in Podiatric Medical School for four years before they enter an internship and residency program, for a very specific area.
Board certification is very important.
This means that the Doctor has spent extra time and has additional experience in a specific area. One must be careful as some Doctor s do advertise that they are Board certified by a certain boards. Not all boards are equal. One must research what background a person has. You should expect total commitment from you surgeon.
