The staff is welcoming and friendly. You immediately feel at ease here. Their answers to questions are professional and... understandable but thorough.I was honestly worried that this place was too good to be true... there had to be a catch somewhere. But there isn't! They deliver on their promises.But best of all - my bone spur felt better RIGHT AWAY. (yeah... sore and swollen from surgery... but the bone spur pain was gone!)SO HAPPY I decided to have Northwest do my surgery!read more

5 weeks out of surgery I was walking around Disney World on a family vacation. In addition to being a competent and... clean surgical center, the staff and culture is amazing. They make you feel like a welcomed and well cared for guest at every visit. This is a top-notch group and you will wonder why you waited so long to fix your feet.read more

I saw the commercial for the Bunion Cure - and it honestly sounded too good to be true - minimally invasive and minimal... downtime? I had to check it out - and I'm THRILLED that I did! I got both feet done in March 2022 - and I am already back on the hiking trails in May! From my detailed consultation covering all the aspects of the surgery and recovery as well as financial structure, to the surgery itself, done right in the office with limited anesthesia, to the post-op care - it was professional, thorough and every interaction with Dr. Sullivan, David and their incredible staff was AMAZING!!! My feet don't hurt, my shoes fit again and look SO much better without those "bunion bones" sticking out. I feel like I have my life back and am SO grateful to the folks at Northwest Surgery Center for their expert care - before, during and after the surgery. Shout out to David, Mandy, Michelle, Julie and Mary Kate for making every visit seem like a party! To Janee for holding my hand through the surgery even though Dr. Sullivan makes it pretty painless - he's got this process down and it's quick, efficient and I walked out of both with very little pain. I highly recommend this procedure for anyone dealing with unsightly, painful bunions - you won't be disappointed!! They're masters at this craft - schedule a consultation to see if it'll work for you, too!!!read more

The team rocks! The service superb! The procedure was not painless, but it was bearable. I cannot understand our... medical and insurance system. This has to be normalized! It is ridiculous to be non weight bearing for ten weeks when this procedure allows weight bearing immediately. I drove myself in and home!! When they tell you to cut the wrap if you are in pain, do it!!! I am 8 weeks out and doing mile and a half walks! Outside of some swelling, which is normal, no complaints!!read more

Attached is a picture of what my surgery looked like before the surgery and after 9 days, I would say it healed very... well and I was walking on it the day of the surgery without pain. Not sure what kind of advanced magic surgery this place does, but people come from all over North America for this surgery with no down time. I was gently walking through airports the whole healing process. I would recommend Dr. Jordan and have to many people who had similar issues, showing them pictures of my progress. I believe this is the only way to go if you have foot issues, they take insurance, they take payments and are reasonable in their fees for us people on the go! Who has 6 weeks to be laid up?? I know I do not! It also helps that everyone there seems like they are part of the same family.Thanks again Northwest!Scott L. Frenchread more

It was the best decision to have my bunion procedure done by Dr. Sullivan at NWSC! The procedure was exactly how they... explained it would be, and I walked out that morning with NO PAIN! What made this experience really special to me was how the staff treats you like family throughout the entire process. Every staff person is so accommodating and helpful, and genuinely cares for you as their patient. If you’re thinking of bunion surgery this is your place!read more

I had surgery to both feet in November and I am so grateful for my experience with Northwest Surgery Center and Dr... Sullivan. My feet could not look and feel better! Dr Sullivan did truly amazing work on the multiple issues that I needed to have corrected. The procedure itself was so easy even though the physical correction of my problems were not, and it really speaks to Dr Sullivan's experience and skill. I could not have received better care and more comprehensive follow through. The entire staff is the absolute best. Every single one of you make a true difference and I am so grateful to you. I really miss you guys! I have never been in better hands and I would recommend Dr Sullivan and his team to anyone wanting to make their feet the best they can be and with the best healing/fast healing time and minimal limitations.read more

I traveled from out of state to the Northwest Surgery Center for foot surgery. The only option I had where I was at was... to have surgery where I would have to be off my feet for six weeks with a six month rehab. I went hoping all would go well. The minute I walked in I knew I was in the right place. From start to finish the staff far exceeded my expectations. They were professional and enjoyed working together.I arrived on Monday morning and surgery started shortly after I arrived. Dr. Sullivan answered all my questions even during surgery. He knew exactly what needed to be done. After surgery I walked out and went to lunch. I have had no pain and even drove home four days later.I can only tell you that I had an amazing experience. I took a video of me walking out of surgery and all my friends couldn’t believe it. I highly recommend you get with the staff and Dr. Sullivan before having any foot surgery done anywhere else.read more

Northwest Surgery Center should get 10 stars on a 5 star scale!They treated me like a valued customer instead of just... a patient. Such a refreshing difference over all of my other experiences with healthcare providers.The staff is wonderful and always willing to answer questions, and the follow up on the procedure was top-notch.And ..... the procedure works as advertised! If you've ever even thought about your bunions - you should make an appointment to see if they can help you!read more

I’ve had bunions since I was about 11 years old and was offered surgery at that time but the odds were 50-50 that it... would work. I am now 72 and saw the Northwest Surgery Center ad on TV. I have been terrified to have traditional bunion surgery because of the pain and time involved and this minimally invasive procedure sounded like it would be so much easier. I can’t tell you how much easier it was. It was amazing! I literally walked out of the surgery on my own two feet the day it was done. I can’t say there was no discomfort but certainly nothing like traditional bunion surgery. And, no crutches!!! I am so happy I did it. I still have more healing to do but after four weeks I was back in my tennis shoes. I was so excited and now, after 8 weeks, I have “graduated” from seeing the doctor. The doctor and staff are amazing and make you feel so welcome and cared for. I can’t brag on this facility, the procedure and the “crew” enough. Don’t suffer any longer if you have bunions. Go to Northwest Surgery Center NOW!!!. The initial exam and ex-rays are free.read more

As a nurse practitioner, I held off bunion surgery based on harrowing reports from my patients. Eventually I developed... pain in the ball of my right foot with every step and knew I had to make a decision. Then I saw an advertisement on minimally invasive bunion surgery just 1 hour from my practice & decided to go in for a consult.The staff were impressive and, as a provider, I understand how everyone from the receptionist to the nurses help form first impressions before seeing your provider. Mandy, Becca, Mary Kate, Michelle, Julie, David, and Janee we’re amazing.Slept through my surgery & weight bearing on discharge.I’m 8 weeks out from surgery and no longer experiencing pain while walking.Dr Sullivan was very thorough from explaining surgery to physical therapy. Plan to have my left foot repaired next spring.read more

Loved this place! You are greeted the moment you walk in with a warmth and professionalism you don't see at other... medical offices. The staff makes this place warm and inviting. They are so accommodating to help if any issue arises. The care you get is top-Notch! So happy I got both my feet done and I am free from bunions and bone spurs. Non-Invasive is the way to go. So glad I did it and am on my way to total recovery. From start to finish care, professionalism, and information are the best there is! Special shout-out to my nurses who listened to me and made the bandages not so tight! *** Michelle and Julie! *** Extra Stars for them!read more

This review is long over due. From the moment I walked in the door for my consultation I was made to feel so important... and comfortable. The entire staff provided such a great experience from start to finish. I am at 6 months since my single cut bunionectomy surgery on my right foot. I was surprised at what little discomfort I had after surgery. I was able to manage with occasional Tylenol. Most important I was able to continue my care for my grandchildren who ranged from 3 months to 4 years old at that time. That was the most important to me that I was able to continue to provide child care for them that was essentially uninterrupted. A huge thank you to David and all the nurses and staff, they were all so kind. Dr. Sullivan was amazing and I can't say enough about Becca who kept me calm and talking through out the surgery. The entire staff took such good care of me. I am grateful I found them and highly recommend Northwest Surgery Center!read more

I have put off bunion repair because of the “non weight bearing for 4-5 week after surgery” information I was given by... other surgeons, even though I have not been able to walk without pain for a long time. That simply was not an option for my lifestyle. The day spent at this surgery center was awesome, my friend/driver and I absolutely enjoyed the whole experience! We laughed and laughed and the entire consultation and subsequent surgery were “a piece of cake”, and I walked out with very minimal pain...ever! The entire staff and doctor were so welcoming and made the experience most enjoyable, something not often said about a surgery or physician’s clinic. You’ll be glad you checked them out!read more

I had hammer toe surgery on 6 of my toes and my left great toe PIP joint repaired on 15 July 2021. Dr Sullivan and his... staff treated me like family. The whole experience from consultation, through surgery, and all followup visits was beyond my expectations. I walked out of surgery and was out of my "surgical sandals" in less than 6 weeks. It was no problem for me to walk my dog 1-1.5 miles in the sandals since the day after the surgery. In contrast, I had made plans to have a more traditional surgery from an old-school podiatrist to straighten my hammer toes with wires and to fuse my left great toe PIP joint. He said I would be in a cast on my left foot for 3-4 weeks, and in a boot for another 3-4 weeks. I had a similar recovery for my ruptured achilles 5.5 years ago, and my calf is still not fully recovered from that. I was seriously dreading another recovery like that and postponed the fusion surgery twice. I'm so glad I found Northwest Surgery Center and Dr Sullivan instead. My toes no longer have painful corns between them or callouses on the tips of my hammertoes, and my great toe joint is still mobile and functional.read more

I had been putting of bunion surgery for years, until I heard of the Northwest Surgery Center. I thought it would be a... huge painful ordeal, but I was assured that this procedure was somehow different and that the staff was amazing. I am so glad I set up an initial appointment. After meeting with the nurses and Dr. Sullivan, I went through with it. What a fantastic experience!The nurses and David welcomed me to the office like it were their home.I felt comfortable and relaxed (even on surgery day;) Dr. Sullivan went over my x-rays with me and explained exactly what he would do and why. Costs were explained upfront, and there were no surprises. I was impressed by the flexibility in scheduling the procedure and follow up sessions. Everyone at the Northwest Surgery center was very accomodating.My treatment couldn't have gone smoother. Although it was, I can't call it surgery as I was awake and chit chatting with the staff the whole time. What a great bunch of people! Besides the initial shot to numb my foot, the procedure was completely painless. What a pleasant surprise to walk right out of there.With the easy regimen of ice, elevation, Tylenol and Ibuprofen, the pain was manageable and I was able to sleep through the night, Never had to touch the prescription that was offered. Two days later, I was able to run a few errands and less than a week later I was back to work.How surprised my coworkers were to see me up and around! Most had a story to tell of someone they knew who'd been out for eight or more weeks and returned with a huge boot and had to use a knee scooter for a long time. Then, they had to repeat it all over again for the other foot, unless they just decided to live with the painful bunion instead.I coined the phrase "friends don't let friends suffer through painful bunion surgeries" and tell everyone to spread the news of The Northwest Surgery Center, Dr. Sullivan, the awesome staff, and their amazing non-invasive bunion treatment.So, this is all rather long winded, but I just can't say enough great things about the Northwest Surgery Center and my experience with them.read more

The staff at Northwest surgery center are amazing! The traditional bunion surgery would not work for my job and... lifestyle. I needed to be back working almost right away. I went to several different doctors they all told me it would be 9 weeks before I would be able to begin walking again, I couldn't do that so I put it off for several years. I decided I would see one more doctor after they explained the procedure to me I realized this was it. I went through the procedure with one foot and was able to walk out of the office the same day. I went back to work after a couple days. I'm going back to get the other foot done in September. These people are great they changed my life. If your waiting for the right time come check them out, you won't be disappointed!!read more

The Northwest Surgical Center is a team of patient-centered professionals. They go out of their way to make each... patient feel welcome and attended to. I was especially impressed by their attentiveness to my post op questions as I began to heal when I called-in from home. They seemed happy to hear from me and had answers for me immediately. In one case Dr. Sullivan got on the line to explain to me what was happening in the healing process.The bunion procedure itself is revolutionary. Local anesthesia and mobility from day one allowed me to continue with my daily responsibilities. Each day showed gradual improvement. Now at 8 weeks I have some lingering swelling and tenderness as expected but I am walking several miles and doing yoga as well.I would recommend this quality office.read more

We went to NW Surgery for our daughter (on the video!) to get her painful bunions taken care of. From the second we... walked in the door to our final appointment we were treated like royalty. NW Surgery knows how to take care of patients on a personal level and provides amazing customer service. Yes I said customer service! They are one of the few doctor offices that understand they are providing a service to public and each patient is special. As a business owner for over 21 years I have recommended and will continue to recommend NW Surgery to all of my friends and colleges because they really know how to make everyone feel special and make a not so fun procedure fun! Thanks team! You're amazing!read more

I have been dealing with bunions and hammertoes for many years. As long as it was just cosmetic, I didn't care too... much. About a year ago, I started to be in pain 24/7 and I couldn't ignore it any longer. With my active lifestyle, traditional bunion surgery wasn't an option, so I started researching alternative solutions. I found the Northwest Surgery Center and was reading all the positive reviews, so I decided to give it a try and schedule a consultation. I'm so glad I did! I scheduled my surgery on both feet right at the consultation appointment. I am now 9 weeks out and back to full swing. Recovery was smooth and exactly as I was told it would be. Very minimal pain, I was back to work the following day and I have a physically demanding job. The only painful part were the numbing shots. Everybody there is absolutely wonderful and the only thing I regret is that I didn't get this surgery done a long time ago. I still can't believe I have "real" feet now!Thank you so much to all of you at the Northwest Surgery Center, you guys are absolutely amazing!!!read more

Wow, wow, wow, is all I can say about this place. From the very start they were helpful, friendly and so accommodating.... I live out of state and was nervous about traveling to CO to have both feet worked on, but the whole staff made it convenient and pleasant. I had a virtual appointment during which Dr. Sullivan was super detailed in his explanation of his procedure. The front desk staff helped me find accommodations at a nearby hotel and when I arrived at the office, there was a welcome sign for me. The procedure was easy and quick. I was able to walk out of the office, even after having both feet worked on. I now have "normal" feet and have been mobile for weeks now. I am SO glad I found them and I highly recommend them to anyone who has bunions- even if you have to travel out of state! 👏👍🏼❤️read more

I can't say enough about Dr Sullivan and his staff. I am very active and had battled bunion pain for several years. I... finally decided to something about it, and I couldn't be more pleased.The initial consultation was very thorough, from my visit with Dr. Sullivan to the finance details provided by David. Michelle was always very prompt to reply to emails when I needed something. They made my decision to have my procedure done at NW Surgery Center a very easy one.I walked into surgery with very few questions and felt very confident that I was in great hands. During surgery, Dr Sullivan's assistants were GREAT! We talked during the entire procedure, keeping my mind occupied on other things. I was so happy to be able to walk out of surgery and not ever have to use crutches or a scooter to get around.I am now almost 11 weeks post surgery. On Tuesday this week, I walked 3 different 1+ mile long walks throughout the day and felt great at the end of day. I can't wait to get back to playing sports and enjoying my activities without bunion pain.Thank you so much to all of the staff for making it such a positive experience! You were all such a pleasure to get to know!read more

I’m in my early 70’s, love walking and have been dealing with a hammertoe for years. I was hesitant about having... surgery after being told it would be very painful, and I wouldn’t be able to drive for 6 weeks. I decided to do the free consultation at NWSC after reading their excellent patient reviews. From the moment you walk in the door, the entire staff is incredible, super friendly and very knowledgeable. Dr. Sullivan thoroughly explained the procedure and 4 days later performed the surgery. My foot was uncomfortable for a few days but an ice bag and Tylenol took care of the pain. I was able to drive in 3 days days and my foot continues to improve everyday. Thank you so much Dr. Sullivan, David, Becca, Julie, Mandy and Michelle for the excellent care you provided. You’re the best! No more toe separators, yeah!!read more

My experience at the Bunion Cure was definitely 5 stars! I am 19, which is pretty young to have this procedure, so i... was pretty nervous going in. I had been to a few other doctors over the years and each one explained to me a very intense, long recovery period, surgery. The Bunion Cure is the ONLY place that I found that offers a minimally invasive, quick recovery period surgery to fix my bunions. This was such a blessing because I can’t imagine not being able to walk AT ALL for more than a week! After my procedure at the bunion cure I was able to AT LEAST hobble around immediately after the surgery. From the first moment I walked through the doors for my consultation, my fear and anxiety disappeared. Everyone working in the office was so friendly and kind. They explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. The nurses were so patient and understanding with me and made sure I understood 100% of what was going on. Staying awake for a surgery made me really nervous but thankfully the procedure went by super fast and was surprisingly painless! My feet have been healing amazingly and I am so happy with how they look. Since I am younger they have healed really quickly. I just started my 8th week of recovery and am nearly back to my old self. My swelling is practically gone and there is only a little soreness when i have full pressure on the front of my feet. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who needs this surgery!read more

Dr. Sullivan and his team at NWSC are OUTSTANDING. I had consults with 3 traditional orthopedic foot surgeons, and all... proposed VERY invasive bunion surgery (using a hammer and chisel) with LONG and PAINFUL recoveries. Dr. Sullivan proposed minimally invasive bunion surgery (using dental tools!). Less than one month after surgery, I was able to put normal shoes on and walk a mile around the neighborhood!! DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE.read more

This place is amazing!! I had heard about it for quite some time and had also heard the rave reviews about how... painless and easy this process was. I took the leap and had both feet worked on the same day and am finally rid of my bunions and heel spur. Better yet, I walked out of the surgery with very little pain and just 7 weeks later am just about back to full speed! Dr. Sullivan did an excellent job and I can hardly tell where he operated on me. There is literally no scarring!The staff is great - I’m going to actually miss my regular appointments. Everyone goes out of there way to make you feel welcome and they definitely succeeded!I would highly recommend the team at Northwest Surgery Center .

I was very happy with my experience at the Northwest Surgery Center! Everyone there was incredibly friendly, helpful,... and fun to be around. I was worried about getting bunion surgery with two little ones at home, but it was minimally invasive and I was never fully off my feet the entire time after surgery. There was some pain and discomfort at times, but it was truly minimal, easy to manage with rest and Advil, and nothing compared to what you hear about with traditional bunion surgery. I am so thankful for my new bunion-less feet and had the best shoe shopping experience I've had in years, just 2 months after my surgery! Thanks guys!read more

I just got out of surgery today and it was a fantastic experience and would HIGHLY recommend. I actually went to NW... Surgery Center earlier this year hoping that they could take care of my left bunion, but after my consult, they had advised that sadly had to have the more major surgery to get it fixed. I am writing this now because I have both experiences to compare against.First, I much prefer this surgery over the latter...but again, sometimes you don’t have a choice. However, having been through that surgery in May, I wanted to get my right bunion fixed as well as my tailor bunion and hammer toe fixed on my left foot. It’s 100% TRUE that you can walk out of the surgery on two feet! The numbing block is still going on - but I literally had my surgery only 3-hours ago and can already tell the difference that I’m in much less pain. When they say minimally evasive, they mean it. Dr. Sullivan definitely knows what he’s doing and is an expert in his field.And I can’t say enough about the office staff - first impressions are lasting impressions and David and his staff are all fantastic and really give you the white glove treatment. This facility and company at a minimum is definitely worth a consultation and most definitely worth going to for your surgery if you are a good candidate!!read more

I highly recommend minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery at Northwest Surgery Center! Dr. Sullivan and his entire staff are... exceptional and the results are excellent! Prior to discovering the minimally invasive option, I tried various (possibly every) non-surgical options and met with multiple doctors to discuss traditional surgery ... but could never pull the trigger due to the extensive recovery time. After a virtual consultation with Dr Sullivan I scheduled the surgery and two weeks later started my journey. It’s now been 10 weeks and I couldn’t be happier! Although I was a bit skeptical at first, my recovery has tracked 100% to what Dr. Sullivan described during my thorough consultation. I walked out of surgery in a boot, albeit a little slower than normal, with minimal pain. I was back at work that afternoon, walked daily throughout my recover and by week 3 was back on my bike. I returned to Orange Theory by week 9, bought new running shoes yesterday and today went for my first run since surgery and it felt great!!If you’re reading reviews you must be considering option and quite honestly I’m not sure why anyone would chose to go the traditional route when minimally invasive is an option. Dr. Sullivan is the best, the entire staff is exceptional and extremely helpful (yes I do miss them) and I simply couldn't be happier with the results or recommend them more.read more

The staff is very nice and efficient. I went in for a consultation on a Monday and had the surgery two days later. The... surgery was painless and the recovery was relatively painless. I walked out of surgery in the orthopedic shoes provided and two weeks later I was back in regular shoes walking 10,000 steps a day. Overall, it was a great experience.read more

Having my bunion and hammertoe surgery done at Northwest Surgery Center was a great decision. I had been scheduled for... normal bunion surgery but just couldn’t face the pain and down time associated with traditional surgery again. Additionally, I was looking at a second or third surgery to correct my hammertoes.My surgery at Northwest Surgery Center, on both feet, was done in mid-July. As a senior citizen being active is very important to me. Six weeks later I am back to being able to resume my normal activities including walking long distances.I walked out of the surgery as promised and the pain throughout has been very tolerable to downright minimal.Dr Sullivan and the staff at Northwest Surgery Center go above and beyond expectations to see that your entire experience is a positive one. I was never left waiting for a scheduled appointment. Every member of the staff is professional, efficient and knowledgeable. You see companies that claim to treat people like family. At Northwest Surgery Center it is actually true.Thank you Dr Sullivan and team, you are amazing!read more

My occupation isn't conducive of having my bunion removed at the same time from both feet. I travel a lot and I'm... always on my feet. I had my right foot operated on at the end of June 2020. The entire process was streamline and pain free. Its been roughly 7 weeks since the operation and my foot is better than ever. I've already scheduled my appointment for my left foot and have absolutely zero concerns coming back this fall.This team is amazing! I wouldn't imagine going anywhere else. I wish this minimally invasive surgery was available 15 years ago when I had my first consultation. Truthfully I was a bit afraid of the process, pain and recovery time coinciding with classical treatment methods.Dr. Sullivan, and his wonderful team, made the process a breeze and created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the entire experience.Come and get your feet fixed! It'll change your life for the better.read more

I couldn't ask for a better experience with Northwest Surgery Center. The people there are top-notch and were so... pleasant. I truly believe that they really care about every patient and want every patient's procedure to be successful. As they advertise, I was able to walk out after my procedure and drive myself home. I'm two months out and my foot is feeling better each day. I'd highly recommend that you check out Northwest Surgery Center.read more

I had both of my Bunions corrected at the end of October 2019.After years of waiting and research looking for best... outcome with minimal recovery time I chose Northwest Surgery Center. The entire staff and Dr. Sullivan are First Class both personally and professionally. I walked out of surgery both days with minimal discomfort or pain. The procedure is performed while you are-awake with the nurse at your side with your favorite music playing. Dr. Sullivan is professional and skilled with surgery time under an hour. I was back to doing everything I love in less then 6 weeks and Skiing this season has been great in my new Boots!read more

Absolutely recommend Northwest Surgery Center if you have bunion problems. Really liked the fact that they take the... time to explain exactly what they can and will do for you. Loved that it was an in and out surgery. Took only a couple of hours out of my day and I walked out of the office. They simply made this surgery an enjoyable one...if you can call any surgery enjoyable. Great experience...would do it all again if I had to.read more

No one really wants to have bunion surgery, but these folks put me at ease. After few consults with various DPMs and... MDs and an extensive PubMed review, I decided to go this route as I needed to be able to walk right after surgery due to life in general and other bunion surgeries leave you with non-weight bearing limits for weeks to months. Northwest Surgery Center made this experience easy and everyone was always very nice and helpful. I drove home after the surgery and, I was able to work out on my foot after a few weeks and able to do more cardio after a couple of months. I can't say enough nice things about this group.read more

I had such a great experience at Northwest Surgery Center. I had a consultation with a doctor who did the traditional... bunion surgery and was in tears because he made it sound horrible. He said most people don't walk for at least 3 weeks, you can only take baths and you take about 4 months to recover. He also said you can only do one foot per year. My Northwest Surgery Center consultation was the opposite of that. They said you can walk right out of surgery and even drive yourself home. You use a walking boot for about a month and then are back in shoes. Not only that but you can do both feet back to back.I had my left foot done and the next day I had my right foot done. I drove myself home when I had the left done. I was able to work out every day. I did the sit down bike the first few days after the surgery and then started doing the elliptical after that. I wasn't walking fast but I was able to get around and drive. The pain wasn't bad at all. I took motrin mostly to help with swelling and iced my foot a good amount. It is now 2 months since my surgery and I am walking almost back to my normal pace and hope to be back to running and rock climbing in the next few weeks.David was so helpful in figuring out cost ahead of time along with any other information I needed. Dr. Sullivan clearly is the best in his industry because you aren't left with scarred up feet or a rough recovery. The nurses and front desk members were all so nice. I just had my last follow up visit and I can honestly say I was sad that I wouldn't be back to see everyone. Northwest Surgery Center is the best and fastest bunion correcting center you will find. Their entire staff are fun, nice and extremely helpful. I couldn't recommend them more.read more

Run, don't walk to this place (if your feet can do it!) Okay, long review, but worth the read. I am 51 with a... terrible bunion on one foot, a morton's neuroma, and several bone spurs. I had two consultations at "regular" bunion surgery doctors and after looking at grotesque youtube videos of the procedure and hearing about the LONG recovery filled with frankenstein looking stitches, metal bolts and pins, weeks of bedrest, then crutches, then a walking boot- I just couldn't put myself through that nor could I take that much time off of work. I just kept buying gizmos and creams on amazon to help, but after 4 years I just couldn't handle the discomfort anymore. I decided to look for a more conservative approach- this is the place! So first, the consultation walked me through the procedure with Dr Sullivan, the recovery and the finances. This was out of network for me with my insurance, but David carefully described the finances to me, they put it in writing so there wasn't any misunderstanding, and they even got the pre-authorization before I had the surgery done. Now for the surgery; so first Dr Sullivan looks like doogie howser, but don't let that fool you. He is professional and understands this procedure inside and out. No crutches, no pins or hardware, and best of all-I didn't have weeks of bedrest, It was really just a long weekend of feet elevated. I had both feet done at the same time. I went to a work convention the week after my surgery and I only took ibuprofen for discomfort; I wouldn't even describe any actual pain. I'm 9 weeks out and I am wearing my comfy uggs, took my dogs for a 2 mile walk yesterday and am well on my way to being fully mended. I put pics of before and after at 7 weeks for my left foot. I would highly recommend Dr. Sullivan and the entire team. Do not do the frankenstein surgery until you check this option out and ask all of the questions you want, you won't regret it.read more

The staff, facility, surgeon and overall patient experience all receive 5 stars! The most important part is the... actual surgery and a realistic expectation of the procedure and outcome. The surgical procedures vary for each patient depending on their condition. The more extensive the surgery, the more difficult the recovery. Even though the approach is minimally invasive, it is still MAJOR surgery on a very important part of the body! There are inherent risks and potential side effects of surgery that need to be carefully considered. In my case, I had minimal pain from bilateral bunions but I saw the condition progressing and opted to intervene early rather than later. I had both feet operated back to back and do recommend that approach if both have to be done. The initial 4 week post operative period wasn’t as painful as I thought it might be and the correction turned out well. I followed all instructions and took a full 12 weeks off of work (6-8 is enough if you are on your feet most of the day- you will have end of day swelling and pain that is manageable with icing and NSAIDS). I did have significant inflammation of my second toe osteotomy in week 3 and that is still the most painful area with some persistent swelling at 12 weeks. My biggest concern currently is numbness of my big toe on my foot that had fewer cuts. The other big toe is almost back to normal. I am concerned of nerve damage and am doing everything I can to regain full sensation in that toe. I am trying to remain optimistic that it will return to normal over the next few months. If it does not return to normal, I will have some regret over choosing to proceed with the surgery.read more

I was very pleased and happy with my procedure – I walked out the first day and second day of my procedure. I could... not believe it, the 3rd day I drove my car & second week drove to & back from Nebraska. The staff is awesome, they represent Northwest Surgery Center very well. They are professional, kind, and considerate. Everything was explained from start to finish from billing, insurance, cost. The staff and Dr Sullivan made me feel very special & comfortable. I would recommend Northwest Surgery Center to everyone, this is the way to go! I am glad I saw the add in the paper. ~Janice B.read more

My name is Tawnya. I am 67 years old and have had very painful and severe bunions and hammertoes for more than 20... years. From my very first visit to Northwest Surgery Center, I knew this was who I wanted to have help me with my feet. Thru my surgery process, the entire staff has ALWAYS been compassionate, friendly, caring, concerned, professional, and they make you feel like family when you walk thru their door. Because of their expertise, I now have feet/toes which allow me to walk again. I know that once my feet finish healing, I will be pain free, which has not been the case for the past 20 years. The doctor promised me that I would be able to dance again and I know that will be happening very very soon. I can not express how grateful I am to all of you at Northwest Surgery Center. You have changed my life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! To anyone who is considering using Northwest Surgery Center, I would HIGHLY recommend them. Tawnyaread more

I can only add to all the positive comments I have read here. Having suffered with bunions for years, I was delighted... to find a facility in Colorado that offers the minimally invasive procedure. Dr. Horsley is a skilled surgeon; he and the entire team offered the highest level of patient support that I have ever experienced. It is less than three months since surgery and I am back to my normal level of activity. I highly recommend North West Surgery Center.read more

They were very clear on what to expect before, during and after. They were available any time for any questions that I had and were very accommodating of my crazy schedule. The days of my surgeries, they made sure I was comfortable and answered any final questions. I walked out of the surgery room and have been doing great ever since. I already have friends asking about the process and setting up their consultations. Great overall experience!!! The entire team was super ( Dr Horsley, David, Mandy, Michelle and Becca)read more

The entire staff at Northwest Surgery Center was GREAT!! I had bunion surgery on my right foot and it went very... smoothly. I walked out the door the day of surgery- and was driving 3 days later. Within 6 weeks I was back to normal activity! The staff is the best I have experienced... ever. From the front receptionist, to the financial coordinator, the nursing staff and especially Dr. Horsley himself. They were all very professional, but also super caring, positive, friendly and yes- even fun! I felt extremely comfortable & confident in their care. If I could give the NW Surgery Center 10 stars, I would. And if I ever need another bunion surgery (on my left foot), I would not hesitate to go back. Minimally invasive surgery is definitely the way to go- and the NW Surgery Center is THE place to go to have it done!read more
