Dr. Krysia Lepoer is an excellent foot surgeon. She took her time discussing the procedure with me…read morebefore the surgery. She also took her time performing my bunionectomy and discussing aftercare with me on the surgery date. I didn't need much aftercare as my surgery turned out to be great.

I feel for the poor patient who had a similar story with Greenberg as I do. He operated on my foot,…read moresaid 6-8 weeks. Immediately..the first post op visit, without looking at it, it changed to 8-12 weeks. Black and swollen, 9 months later. I kept going in.. saying something's wrong! Oh it's fine.. recommended an Ace ankle sleeve. Finally found another doctor who would see me and there was ZERO healing. Needed 2 more operations, my foot will never be fully functional again. I can't drive for more than 45 minutes before it cramps up or walk more than 1/2 mile. If anyone is interested in suing this guy, I'm all in.

Went for a consult regarding foot surgery. Had a minor bunion that gave me no pain but was getting…read moreworse slowly. Dr. Greenberg recommended having a Lapiplasty. Extremely involved, brutal surgery. He made it sound like a very minor surgery and I'd be out of the boot and walking like before surgery at 5 weeks max. But could walk in a boot during this time. So a week later I go in. I come home and am in a cast and can't weight bear . Pain is absolutely unbearable. No instructions or advice for when I go home what would I need to get through this. I had to get a walker because crutches were dangerous. A raised toilet seat was needed. Never asked if I would have help when I got home. For weeks after surgery. I couldn't walk never mind drive. Foot hurt 24/7. Finally called the office to get an appointment for a follow up. 2 weeks later I'm in his office and he removes dressings etc... Said it looks good. I'm given a boot that's so painful to put my foot in . Told to get to walking. Really. My foot is a black and blue balloon. 2 long incisions beginning to heal. This surgery is intense and emotionally harrowing. I was not told this part of it. Any time I called the office they were so rude and condescending. I cried every time I hung up with them. I'm a nurse and not a whimp either. I had so many questions for the surgeon. About pain, incision care, weight bearing status, etc... No compassion at all. Staff is really uncaring and abrupt. It's sad. I feel for other surgical pts of his. No follow up except for an appointment 2 weeks after surgery. Be humane. A phone call to check on me and to answer any questions directly after. You have so many different locations you work out of I could never reach you. And I left a few messages with questions I had and got zero response. Asked to speak with you and just was brushed off. I was drowning in pain and bewilderment I had this brutal surgery without being prepared at all. It was cruel. This is a 1 year complete recovery surgery. 1 year. I joined a support group on Facebook. Over 10,000 members. Some surgeons are wonderful with communicating and explaining. Helping prepare patients for when they go home so they have what they need. I received none of this. None. Called and asked when I could drive since it was my right foot. No return call. Asked what I should wear after the boot came off. Nothing. The Lapiplasty support group helped me do much. I was no longer alone. I wasn't unusual. This is a brutal surgery and it's many months before I will recover. I'm 15 weeks post op and still walk awkwardly with a limp. And still swells and is painful. I had to ask for an order for physical therapy. Wasn't offered. Shameful. You atrophy quickly and lose range of motion and muscle. Quick. Been going for pt 3X week for 8 weeks. Intense. Helping but still limping. Anyway I normally don't publicize things but this has ruined my life. I was extremely active before. Months later I'm still crippled. Don't want someone else to go through what I have been through. It's really ruined my life .
