I had a bunion repair performed by Dr. Gradisek about three months ago. All I can say is that he had a lot to live up to because his now retired partner performed my first bunion surgery six years ago and he did a great job. Dr. Gradisek clearly explained why he chose the technique he did. He explained in detail what I could expect with potential problems. He spent time answering my many questions. The office staff has always been attentive and easy to work with, like an old time medical office that you don't see much anymore. I was well prepared for surgery and that whole experience went smoothly even having to deal with COVID. Most importantly, at seven weeks post-op, I was released to return to normal activity and even prior to that I spent only one week in a modified platform shoe followed by six weeks in hiking shoes with slowly increasing walking activity. I could not be more thrilled with my new pain free foot! Thank you!!
