I highly recommend Dr. Gradisek and staff at Foot & Ankle Care of Boulder County. after 2 1/2 years of pain and a failed cheilectomy (by others), I went to see Dr. G and felt completely at ease with his diagnoses and bedside manner. He did a big toe joint fusion mid December 2017, and a full list of guidelines to heal properly, (long process) and its now just 4 months later and I feel great, as it is still healing, it is a bit tender, Hiked 2 miles 2 week ago in the foothills and all went well, sore, but nothing like before, I have had to make some footwear changes and still learning to "roll off" the fused toe, but I couldn't be happier. I cannot wait to hit the mountain trails in earnest in a short while. If you have any foot problems call them, Dr. Gradisek and his staff are amazing at getting you back on your ol' tired, sore feet or ankles.
