Bunions

Eliza Calderon

Dr. Steve Behrens and PA Meaghan Murtagh (HSS at NYP) are rock stars in my book. Both are very caring, kind and professional as well as excellent at their craft. I have suffered bunion pain in both feet since my late teens. I was scared to have the surgery and put it off for years. Now in my 40s I couldn't take it anymore and went in for a consultation and decided on surgery. Dr. Behrens and Meghan did my left foot early 2022 and it was the best thing ever. I had a few small incisions on the side of my foot and 3 screws implanted. My foot now feels great, it healed well and when the expected after surgery pain ended I have been pain-free. I'm now ready to do the right foot. Don't sit around in pain like I did. Last summer, I finally danced pain-free and I plan to do so again this summer!
