Host: You treat many conditions, from hammertoes and bone spurs to bunions. Are these surgeries performed in a hospital?
Doctor: We perform in-office procedures, so patients do not need to go to a separate facility. Some people feel less anxious and more comfortable in the office, and our staff works to make them feel at ease. The procedures discussed here are performed under local anesthesia without IV sedation. We place the injections carefully to avoid multiple needle sticks. The approach is designed to reduce pain and swelling and provide a comfortable experience.
Host: Fantastic.
