Specialized Services at Our San Ramon Location

At our new San Ramon facility, we offer a comprehensive range of podiatric services, with special expertise in:

Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

Our San Ramon location specializes in the Arthrex minimally invasive surgery system for bunion correction. This advanced technique offers several advantages over traditional bunion surgery:

  • Smaller incisions resulting in less scarring
  • Reduced post-operative pain and swelling
  • Faster recovery times
  • Immediate weight-bearing for most patients
  • Better cosmetic and functional outcomes

Using specialized instruments and advanced imaging technology, our surgeons can precisely correct bunion deformities while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This means you can get back to your active lifestyle more quickly and with less discomfort.

Comprehensive Foot Surgery

Our team provides expert surgical solutions for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. From hammertoe correction to complex reconstructive procedures, our surgeons utilize the latest techniques and technologies to ensure optimal outcomes.

We understand that surgery is often a last resort, which is why we take a patient-centered approach to care. Our surgeons will thoroughly explain your condition, discuss all available treatment options, and develop a personalized surgical plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

Sanexas Therapy for Neuropathy and Pain Management

We're proud to offer Sanexas Electrotherapy, an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that has shown remarkable results for patients with neuropathy and chronic pain. This cutting-edge therapy uses electric cell signaling treatment (EST) with electronic signal energy waves and harmonic resonance frequencies to:

  • Repair and regenerate damaged nerve fibers at the cellular level
  • Improve cell-to-cell communication
  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Enhance circulation
  • Promote long-term healing rather than just symptom relief

Sanexas therapy is particularly effective for peripheral neuropathy, which can result from diabetes, autoimmune diseases, infections, and other conditions. If you're experiencing numbness, tingling, or pain in your feet, our San Ramon office now offers this advanced treatment option close to home.
