Patient Reviews
Mar 04, 2024
Both smart and compassionate, Dr Schweitzer explained all options to me before finalizing a treatment plan, and then performed dual toe fusion and anterior tibialis tendon rupture repair surgery on me in early December 23'. Recovery was so smooth that I was walking and playing leisurely pickleball at 6-weeks post-op. After six more weeks of gradually increasing activity, my foot feels Great! Thank you Dr. Karl.
