Testimonial from happy patient

"In Nov 2021, Dr Perez performed 3D Lapiplasty surgery on my left foot. I am now 9 weeks post op and I am absolutely SOLD on the amazing results. Dr Perez is a consummate professional with extraordinary surgical insight and the skills to give you the best possible outcome. Additionally, he listened to me and understood my previous hesitation for bunion surgery. Dr Perez was my 2 nd opinion and I’m so happy that I listened to my own instincts and chose him for my surgery. In addition, I believe he interviewed and chose me on the assurance of my compliance and adherence to the “ rules” for a successful outcome and recovery. The bottom line is that I’ve experienced a virtually pain free experience, little down time, zero need for opiates, and quick healing. Nine weeks out, I am in an athletic shoe full time and back in the gym. I credit my great experience to Dr Perez and his expertise. Get the surgery, don’t wait decades like I did. Just do it!"
