Dr. Neal Frankel, a board-certified podiatrist, takes a conservative approach and examines all surgical and nonsurgical options before recommending any treatment plan. When surgery is your best option, you can rest assured that Dr. Frankel will utilize the latest techniques with a cosmetic approach to reduce scarring whenever possible. Dr. Frankel uses the these leading-edge techniques not only because they reduce pain and scarring but also because they are dramatically easier to undergo, which allows you to get back into your regular shoes much faster. Many patients are able to go back to work and continue their normal activities just a few days after undergoing these advanced techniques. Here are just a few of the surgical procedures that Dr. Frankel performs:

• Bunions - Dr. Frankel uses the revolutionary Swiss Technique that results in very little swelling and almost no pain, so you can be active again far sooner than with other surgeries that can take over six weeks to heal. In fact, with Dr. Frankel's Swiss Technique, you can have surgery on a Friday and be back at work the next Monday.
• Heel Pain - Painful lumps, or heel spurs, can grow behind or under the heel bone. When surgery is the recommended option, Dr. Frankel can perform minimally invasive surgery to bring lasting relief from chronic heel pain.
• Flat Feet - Stress from a painful flatfoot, or "collapsed foot," can be the root of other foot problems such as bunions and heel spurs or ankle, knee, hip or lower back pain. When surgery is needed, Dr. Frankel uses the revolutionary minimally invasive 1-Step Technique that takes just minutes to correct.
• Hammertoes - Also known as clawed toes, crooked toes and mallet toes. Surgery can be performed by Dr. Frankel in about 10 minutes on an outpatient basis and the patient is often able to walk immediately after the surgery.
• Ankle Joint Pain - By attaching minimally invasive surgical tools to a miniature television camera, Dr. Frankel can see the interior of the joint through a very small incision rather than a large incision. Dr. Frankel can then determine the amount or type of injury and then repair or correct the problem.
• Failed Surgeries - Dr. Frankel is up-to-date on the latest surgical procedures and is often able to correct conditions that prior surgery has failed to correct.
