We are the only exclusively Laser-Based Foot & Ankle practice in SouthWestern VA. International and interstate patients find local accommodations, are able to undergo outpatient procedures, then shortly return home due to very low complication rate. We follow-up with their local physician to inform him for our procedures. While similarly named procedures are done by many physicians, our recovery time, postoperative pain, swelling and complication rate might be different. Be advised that most physicians advertise LASER when it is only used for treating warts or toenails. Wart or toenail surgery is an important step forward from conventional measures, but will not be addressed here. Please contact our office if you need this work done. Our technique also includes conventional laser procedures. Dr. Kelly has advanced many difficult procedures in his training and research, which in part, was at a specialized Podiatric Surgical Residency at Straith Hospital for Special Surgery in Michigan, an internationally renowned privately owned plastic surgery hospital. See CV section. Plastic surgery training changes how a doctor treats soft tissue. This additional care determines the outcome. Then, the laser is an addition to fundamentally good surgical technique. Obtaining a pain free result and rapid functional return to lifestyle is our goal.
