Recovery
In most instances, Dr Buckley is able to perform foot surgery as a day procedure and patients are often allowed to walk on their foot in a limited way straight after the surgery. Recovery times are dependent on the specific condition and procedure. However, in many cases, patients can expect to be back doing moderate routine daily activities within a few weeks of surgery.
Additionally, Dr Buckley likes to follow up and monitor each of his patients personally for several weeks to months after surgery to ensure optimum and satisfactory outcomes are achieved.
