Patient Reviews
Dec 07, 2022
I had all five metatarsals corrected by an orthopedic surgeon six months before seeing Dr. Childress to address the problem that caused the original surgery. In March 2022 a plate was placed in my big toe to get it back in alignment and the other toes were straightened. Within six weeks post op the second metatarsal dropped and caused a significantly painful callus ulcer the orthopedic dr. would only treat with more surgery. October-enter Dr. Childress who I saw him one time and set up corrective surgery. He removed a "knuckle" in the second toe to prevent the callus return. He is kind & very interested in the patient's knowledge of what he will do and why & his staff is kind & courteous also. When released he told me things not to do to ensure good foot health that the original surgeon had ignored. I would recommend Dr. Childress to anyone with a foot problem. Dr. Childress group treats all foot needs, corns, calluses, etc while - an orthopedic surgeon only preforms surgery.
