Dr. Steven Summer has performed numerous bunion corrections ranging from simple repairs to complex reconstructions.

There are over 100 different types of Bunion procedures and Dr. Summer is adamant about choosing the procedure that is appropriate for each specific bunion deformity.

The Bunion is a complicated deformity and each bunion poses a unique challenge. Dr. Stummers' surgical procedures are directed toward improving function and improving the cosmetic appearance of the foot.

Not all bunions require surgery and Dr. Stummer has had success in slowing the progress of some bunions with the use of custom made orthotics for dress and athletic footwear.

However, if your bunion is interfering with your ability to walk and perform normal activities or if you are having a difficult time wearing shoes comfortably, then you should consider having your bunions treated surgically.
