Dr. Davis and his entire staff have been wonderful. Appointments run on time and scheduling is easy. Dr. Davis thoughtfully explained my options, how surgery would correct my problem, and what rehab I would require. His assistant, Staci, was very responsive throughout the pre and post op activities and I always felt supported.
I would recommend South Texas Podiatry without hesitation!

I saw Dr. Davis 1.5 years ago for chronic bilateral foot pain. He ran an ultrasound test in the office and told me I did not have plantar fasciitis but that I had Baxter‘s nerve entrapment and his $1000 procedure may or may not help fix the problem. He said it had an 85% success rate. I showed up a couple of weeks later and had the very painful nerve ablation procedure, which did absolutely nothing for me. Zero improvement. After that, he said the next step was surgery. I told him I wanted an MRI before I had surgery. He pushed back a bit, but agreed to order it. I had the MRI, which clearly showed bilateral plantar fasciitis. I also had partial tears of the plantar fascia on both feet. Dr. Davis wasted a lot of my time and money.
Frequently Asked Questions About South Texas Podiatry
How Should I Prepare for My Bunion Surgery?
Prior to the surgery, patients may need to make some preparatory steps. These include:
Seeing your Primary Care Physician to ensure any other health conditions are stabilized prior to surgery and to inform the surgeon of any issues concerning your medical history.
Rearranging your schedule so that you don't need to take any long trips for at least two to three weeks following the surgery.
Arrange to have another person to drive you home and be available for you for the day of surgery.
Ceasing the use of any anti-inflammatory medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naprosyn for two to three days before the surgery. If you are on blood thinning medication, discuss that with your surgeon.
The anesthesiologist requires you to have an empty stomach for 8 hours before the procedure. You should also wash your foot the night before and morning of the procedure to help reduce surrounding bacteria and prevent infection.
If you have more questions before the day of your surgery, give us a call at (210) 490-3668
Does Bunion Surgery Hurt?
Bunion surgery may be performed with IV sedation and a local anesthetic which is administered by an anesthesiologist. General anesthesia may also be utilized at times. A long acting local anesthetic is injected by the surgeon before the surgery is over so that there is no or minimal pain immediately after the surgery, so you will likely not feel much pain.
How Soon After Bunion Surgery Can I Rejoin My Activities?
The type of bunionectomy you receive will determine how soon one can bear weight on the foot after surgery, but the majority of such procedures do allow weight bearing with a surgical shoe. It is important to elevate the foot after surgery to prevent swelling. The foot will be covered in bandages, which you will need to keep dry for up to 2 ½ weeks or until the sutures are removed.
Sutures are generally removed about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks after the surgery in the office. Once the sutures are removed, you can bathe and shower, but occasionally may need to wear a dressing over the wound to prevent infection.
The majority of patients can start to return to a running shoe or walking shoe between the third and fourth week. Physical therapy may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility and help eliminate swelling. Follow your podiatrist's instructions for increasing exercise and activities until you are back to normal.
