When I met Dr. Shock -- his first words to me were "How about we get this fixed up?" -- I was stunned after living with this pain for over 2 years. :) It turned out that I had a torn 'longus peroneal tendon' that he was able to diagnose with an MRI. Why no other doctor thought of that before, I have no idea. I suffered through the injections, creams, socks, inserts with other doctors without any relief. I had the peroneal tenodesis surgery and was walking without pain within 2 weeks of surgery! Doctor Shock is an amazing doctor and just a very friendly and welcoming guy -- I feel like I've known him for years! :) I highly recommend him for any foot pain that you may be enduring now -- you can be completely confident that he will fix you right up!

I originally left a positive review shortly after surgery, but after living with the results long…read moreterm, I no longer feel I can recommend this surgeon. I underwent bunion surgery on my right foot, along with correction of another toe. Unfortunately, the final outcome has been very disappointing. Following surgery, my big toe healed with a significant gap between it and my second toe, creating an unnatural appearance that has never improved. In addition, the toe that was corrected with a pin never healed properly and now "floats" rather than resting naturally on the ground. Despite prolonged taping and following the postoperative instructions provided, these issues never resolved. I became so dissatisfied with the outcome that I ultimately chose not to return for additional treatment. I understand that no surgery comes with guarantees, but I feel my concerns and the long term appearance and function of my foot were not adequately addressed. Years later, I remain unhappy with the results and regret having had the procedure performed. Based on my personal experience and outcome, I cannot recommend this surgeon.

The office is set in a relaxing Hill Country setting with free parking shaded by live oak trees. The serene surroundings and organized, clean office, conveniently situated close to downtown yet much less stressful, are exactly what you hope to find in a medical office setting. Also impressive: The online check-in process was made available in advance; the welcoming, friendly front desk staff person helped me find the office after Apple Maps misdirected my navigation; and the attentive medical assistant ensured I felt comfortable and informed before seeing the doctor. Dr. Craig Thomajan was excellent--he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions thoroughly, and his calm expertise put me at ease. I left feeling well cared for and with a clear understanding of my treatment plan. Now that I know what going to a podiatric physician involves, I won't hesitate to return in six weeks for my next appointment. I highly recommend Austin Foot and Ankle Specialists to anyone seeking expert, compassionate foot and ankle care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

The doctor was very respectful, inquisitive, instructive and encouraging. During a very serious medical diagnosis and hospital intervention, he was the MOST EFFECTIVE doctor in the cadre of doctors who treated my father.

It was obvious that he cared about the patient and respected my questions as his caregiver; we had some frank and poignant discussions and I cannot say enough about the depth of care Dr. Walters provided for us.

I recently had a bunionectomy and a fractured toe repaired by Dr. Hubbard. I have put off having…read moreanything done on my bunions because of the absolute horror stories I have heard, and then that they can come back! A good friend of mine had recently seen him for some work and she spoke quite highly of him. I had been having some issues with my right foot and kept feeling like there was something under my toes and it had started to hurt so I figured I'd give him a try. I'm not the easiest patient, I have no tolerance for doctors who will not listen and minimize whatever they are told. I liked Dr Hubbard from the start. He came into the exam room, shook my hand and introduced himself. He ordered an X-ray on my foot and didn't see anything except the rather large bunion. He asked me if I had considered getting it taken care of and I told him it would be a pretty hard sell, in view of what I had heard and the fact that new pain meds were investigated with bunion surgery. He said that there have been major improvements and it wasn't like that anymore. He also sent me for an MRI to try to get a better idea of what was going on with my toes. Fast forward, the MRI showed that there was a hairline break in my second toe that had been there for awhile, and had caused all kinds of inflammation. He recommended surgery to close the hairline fracture with a screw and a bunionectomy to keep things aligned. It was a major leap of faith, but I went through with it. He explained to me exactly what he was going to do, what the recovery would be like, that it would not be as bad as what I had heard before. He told me he orders a nerve block on the leg to minimize pain-what a great idea! The pre-op workout was coordinated and well planned. I chose Hyde Park Surgery Center and had no problem. Each practice got my insurance straight and did everything I expected. I told Dr Hubbard, and the pre-op nurse at Hyde Park that I have had some truly awful experiences with having IVs and everyone assured me they would be attentive to my fears. I wish I could have sent them to Austin Gastro to learn how to start an IV. I am almost 2 weeks post op. I'm off crutches, in a walking boot, and today I had all the bandages removed and replaced with a compression dressing. I stopped the hardcore pain meds after 2 days and only use Ibuprofen when I feel like I need it. My bunion is gone, my toe is set, I have 3 little screws holding it together. Would I recommend Dr. Hubbard? Without hesitation! He and his staff are the best! I'll probably have my left bunion taken care of, too.
