As a RN who is always on my feet my bunion was killing me. Dr Bar-David answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. The surgery was great and the recovery was much better than I could have imagined. The office staff was great as well! Would definitely recommend for your surgery needs. I have recommended others for consultation and will be back in the future for my other bunion.
