Our Patients Say It Best...

During the past three years, Marie Andres realized her foot pain was becoming progressively worse. She suffered from bone spurs on both feet, as well as hallux rigidus, a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the joint of the big toe.

“I was in so much pain I couldn’t even wear shoes,” she says. “The conditions restricted me from walking and exercise.”

Marie strongly considered returning to Chicago to see a trustworthy podiatrist who performed surgery on her twenty years ago. However, she quickly put those plans on hold after visiting with Dr. Felix Esarey of Tri-County Podiatry.

“Dr. Esarey made me feel confident, and I loved his staff,” Marie says. “I left his office, and by the end of the day, I knew he would be the one doing my surgery.”

On November 27th, Dr. Esarey performed surgery on her left foot. He used titanium implants to correct her hallux rigidus and performed a bunionectomy to remove her bone spur. He performed the same surgery on her right foot two-and-a-half weeks later.

“Both surgeries went great, and I only experienced minimal pain,” she says. “I am back to exercising, walking, and doing other activities I enjoy. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Esarey and his staff. He was very thorough and addressed all my questions and concerns.”
