Out-of-Town Patients & Foot Surgery

Patients travel to Foot First from across the United States and around the world for our specialized approach to foot surgery. We understand that traveling for a procedure requires additional planning, and we work with out-of-town patients to make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible.

Our procedures include the Sklar Bunionectomy®, toe shortening and straightening, corn removal, cosmetic foot surgery, and revisional foot surgery. Our approach focuses on correcting the underlying foot problem while preserving function and achieving a natural-looking cosmetic result.

Foot Surgery for Out-of-Town Patients

Foot First has extensive experience caring for patients who travel from outside the Chicagoland area for specialized foot surgery. Our doctors will evaluate your individual condition and discuss the treatment options that may be appropriate for you, along with what you can expect before and after your procedure.

Foot First performs procedures in an outpatient office setting, without a hospital stay. Depending on your procedure and individual treatment plan, the doctor will explain your expected recovery and the post-operative care..

Every patient is different. The doctor will evaluate your feet and discuss which treatment options are appropriate for your individual condition.

Getting Started From Out of Town

If you're considering traveling to Foot First for treatment, you can start the process from home.

For many out-of-town patients, the first step is sending us clear photos of both feet for a preliminary review. This gives the doctor an opportunity to better understand your concerns and provide recommendations.

If you would like to move forward after the preliminary review, a phone consultation with the doctor can be scheduled to discuss the recommended treatment and what to expect after your procedure, as well as answer any questions you may have.
