I'm Katherine Beck from Raymore, Missouri. For years, I struggled with a bunion that was causing serious problems. The bunion was rubbing against my other toes, creating painful sores on both feet. As someone who loves walking, this was significantly impacting my quality of life - the more I walked, the worse the sores became.
The Long Journey to Care
My search for treatment led me through a frustrating series of appointments:
- 3-month wait to see my family physician
- Another 3-month wait for an orthopedic specialist
- Yet another 3-month wait for a dermatologist
- Back to my primary care physician
Finding the Right Solution
Finally, my doctor suggested seeing a podiatrist. The difference was immediate:
- Friendly staff got me in right away
- Took X-rays during my first visit
- Quickly identified the problem
- Developed a clear treatment plan
Successful Treatment
The surgery to straighten my toes was successful:
- 6-week recovery period
- Now able to walk 7-8 miles without problems
- Back to enjoying my daily walks
- Perfect timing for spring weather
I'm incredibly grateful to the entire staff for their friendly, welcoming approach and excellent care. They didn't just treat my feet - they helped me get back to doing what I love.
