Patient’s guide to bunion surgery - (Rough draft)

Last week, we were talking about bunions, and this week, I want to share the rough draft of a book I started working on with Dr. Feldman about bunions a few years ago.

This book will go over different types of bunion treatments that you can use for bunions.

Check out the bunion book HERE.

I included the table of contents below to see what is in the book.

My Secret Life as a Magician! 

My wife found an old picture of me trying to imitate David Copperfield, the famous magician. It got me thinking about my past...

My Dream Career: Professional Magician! 

Believe it or not, being a podiatrist was my backup plan! Up until I was 17, I wanted to be a professional magician. David Copperfield was my idol.

My First Magic Show: A Memorable Experience! 

I remember my first magic show as if it were yesterday. I was 9 years old, and I performed for a bunch of rambunctious kids. I used an old baby blue suitcase to hold my tricks and practiced for hours. But, those kids tried to figure out my tricks and spoil the surprise! 

Getting Half the Payment: A Clever Trick! 

After the show, the mother gave me half of a twenty-dollar bill... literally tore it in half! She said if I was a real magician, I could fix the bill and make my money. 

Sharing My Magic with You! 

Recently, I posted a short video of a trick on YouTube (check it out HERE). If you want to see more, reply and tell me, and I'll share some more videos! 

Let me know if you have any questions or want to see more magic tricks!

Question Of The Week

Is bunion surgery painful?

Lots of patients have heard horror stories about their friends or families having painful surgery. Bunion surgery is somewhat painful, but we have medications that can help substantially. My patients have bunion pain for 3-5 days after, and then they might have pain from swelling, but it is quite tolerable.

I included information about bunion surgery in a video format.

Watch the video HERE.

Don’t suffer from bunion pain. We can make it “disappear.”

We can make the bunion disappear with some surgical magic. Call us at 508-757-4003 to make an appointment with Dr. Neil Feldman, Dr. Donald Pelto, Dr. Benjamin Saviet, or Dr. Matthew Monette.

To your health,

Dr. Pelto
