Testimonials:

Dr. Ricefield and his staff made me feel quite comfortable when preparing for, during, and after my four surgeries.

I had my heel spurs done first, one foot at a time. I was very nervous but the surgery itself only took about 20-30 minutes. The recovery time is what takes a little longer. I used crutches to get around because I have 2 children and couldn't just keep my foot elevated all day. I did elevate as much as possible. In 2-3 weeks when I got the stitches out, I kept the shoe boot on for another week because my foot wasn't quite comfortable in a regular shoe or sneakers. In about another 2 weeks, I felt good enough to have my other spur done and went through the same procedure. When both heels were done and I was in shoes, I went through some shooting pains in my ankle and leg. All in all when you think of how much pain you were in, (I could hardly walk in the morning and was in pain all day.), the surgery was definitely worth it. It seems like a lot right after you have surgery but believe me, my feet feel great and I am a very active person.

The hammertoe surgeries were no problem and I had very little pain.

Thanks Dr. Ricefield and staff, you made me feel that I was in good hands with kind, caring professional people.
