Having had traditional bunion surgery I can truly say the minimally invasive surgery at Northwest Surgery is the only way to go! Don't get me wrong, it is surgery, there is pain involved, it is a process. However, in comparison it blows traditional surgery out of the water. You are back on your feet faster and with minimal pain. The employees at the surgery center are absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend going to the Northwest Surgery Center.

Service couldn't have been better. I'm 61 and have had bunions all of my adult life. I'm pretty active and have always been reluctant to get them fixed because of the long recovery time involved. When I read about the minimally invasive procedure I decided it was worth a try. The surgeries on both feet were easy to tolerate and recovery has been a breeze with minimal discomfort. All the staff are really friendly had helpful. I highly recommend them.

I just had some bone spurs, a piece of bone, and arthritis cleaned up on both of my big toe joints. I couldn't be happier with the staff, nurses, and Dr. Sullivan. Aside from the surgery being almost painless, the entire staff was extremely friendly and pleasant to work with and be around. I'm not a big talker, but really enjoyed conversing to all of them. Most important, you could tell they genuinely cared about me, my feet, and how I was doing. I was asked multiple time during the surgery if I was doing OK, which I was. I went in for the free consultation at 9:00 am, and was having surgery done at 2:00 pm the same day. Fast, efficient, and caring. 5 stars further Bunion Cure staff! My wife goes in next month for bunion surgery.

This team is truly amazing. Dr. Sullivan did surgery on both of my feet one day apart. Each foot had a big toe bunion and one had a bone spur which was removed. And yes, both days I walked out of surgery…though, slowly it was without crutches. For reference I’m 48 years old and wore heels for 25 years. I’d started to have gate, hip and toe nail loss issues from short hikes. I’d not been able to wear pretty shoes for a decade, always hiding my deformed feet. His pre and postoperative care are like nothing I’ve seen before. My functional medicine Dr agreed! I had her look it over. It’s comprehensive on a whole body level that raises the bar that other doctors should follow. The surgeries were minimally invasive but i was still going to be healing broken bones. I hadn’t connected the two prior to surgery. Keep this in mind when choosing your surgery date. You can walk out of surgery, it’s true! Though, you don’t want to walk much for the first 4 weeks. Very tiny, almost invisible at 8 weeks, scars though! When in the office I saw people whom had driven from other states. We are so fortunate to have this Surgeon, special surgery and Team available to us in Denver. Don’t hesitate to trust this Dr and staff as the one and only choice for your foot surgery needs, no matter where you live!

I like the fact that Dr Sullivan not only performs the foot surgery, but looks at the foot during every in-person post op visit. He also teaches PT exercises during the last (2 month post op) in person visit before giving out a thorough description of them to take home and incorporate into the healing process! Staff was always kind and helpful as well. My goal was to get both feet operated on the same day with the minimally invasive procedures, and that was what happened, so no more foot surgeries for me! The only thing I didn't like was how little I was reimbursed by my Medicare insurance company.

I had a soccer injury in 2019 that bent my toe backwards and it never healed correctly. I developed a large bunion on my right foot and it was painful in normal comfortable boots/shoes and especially ski boots. I had found Northwest Bunion Surgery through Google and waited on going through with the surgery until 2023. I just made things work until then and was always busy doing things I enjoyed, working, or just didn't want to deal with my toe and the downtime. As I write this now I am 2 months post operation and walking around just fine with a little puffy/swollen foot, it continues to get better each day, and most importantly my bunion is gone. My foot will never be the same as it was prior to injury but this is pretty good so far! All the information on the Bunion Cure website helped me understand much of what I would be dealing with, so I didn't have much concerns nor questions on my visits. I finally decided to get it done and the office staff were all so friendly and welcoming! I called and got into my consultation appointment with x-rays, chance to ask questions, etc.. Following week I had the appointment for surgery and only did the local anesthesia which wasn't bad at all, felt funny with the surgery/tugging movements, pin getting put into foot, and distracted myself by talking to the nurses. There was a blind cover so you couldn't see what was happening but I would peak at the live x-ray machine once in awhile because I was curious. The operation only took about 45 mins and I was bandaged up and put into a walking shoe, where I could drive away back home with my right foot having surgery. A lot of independence with this surgery! For the first 4 weeks on a weekly basis you would go in for bandage changes, although I only went in for the 1st bandage change and did the rest at home by myself. Was able to shower with a plastic sock and rubber gasket that goes around leg. End of 2nd week pain wise was the worst for me and the pins/needles and feeling a lot of sensations in my foot. It was hard to concentrate, sleep, or get work done. That eventually subsided through the next week and the 4th week I was able to get the pin taken out of my foot and go back into normal shoe (make sure to loosen that shoe up, foot will swell up like a balloon). Overall my down time was minimal, the visits and surgery were efficient, and the staff were all friendly and professional. I would do it again and highly recommend this team!

This is the place to go! The entire staff is incredibly welcoming and treat you like family. I am so impressed with how quickly I am healing due to the cutting edge procedure. I would run into others who had surgery for the same issue (at other medical facilities) and they couldn’t believe how quickly I was up and back to normal function. The chronic pain in my foot is gone!

The staff at The Bunion Cure are amazing. From Dr. Sullivan to David and all the staff. They addressed and answered all my questions and concerns prior to surgery and provided excellent follow-up care at every step. I would recommend them for anyone considering bunion surgery.

Wonderful patient experience! I always felt my concerns were addressed and the crew is always upbeat. Very welcoming and informative group! Best regards!!

I can’t say thank you enough for how grateful I am for NW Surgery Center. I have had chronic pain for years, which impeded my active lifestyle from hiking, running, skiing, etc. after having the surgery, I walked out the same day and have not had pain since. Not only am I back doing the active things I love, but there is no pain! I’m happy to say I have just ridden in the Triple Bypass, and there is not one issue with my foot. Sincerely, thank you! I wish I would have done this sooner!
