Dr. Katz explains common foot and ankle conditions, treatment options, and what to expect — in plain language.

Bunion Care

Will I Need Surgery To Correct My Bunion Deformity?

Dr. Katz explains when bunion surgery is necessary versus when conservative treatments like custom orthotics, padding, and anti-inflammatory therapies can successfully manage the deformity. Most bunions respond well to non-surgical care — but when pain persists and daily function is affected, minimally invasive Lapiplasty® correction offers a fast-recovery solution.

Surgical Recovery

Will I Have To Stay Overnight In The Hospital After Foot and Ankle Surgery?

Worried about hospital stays after foot or ankle surgery? Dr. Katz walks through which procedures are performed as outpatient (same-day discharge) versus which may require brief inpatient monitoring. The vast majority of modern foot and ankle surgeries — including minimally invasive bunionectomy — are outpatient procedures performed under local or regional anesthesia.

Nail Conditions

Nail and Fungus Overview

Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is more than a cosmetic issue — it's a persistent infection that can spread and worsen without treatment. Dr. Katz explains the signs, causes, and the Katz Triple Threat approach: a combination of topical antifungal lacquer, oral medication, and laser therapy that attacks the infection at every level.
