I had Bunionplasty done on both feet at the same time, and I cannot say enough good things about Dr Blitz and his team. Despite doing both feet at once was so helpful, as it made the total recovery time just 6 weeks. I was able to walk out of surgery, and the post-op experience was just as described. Dr Blitz’s staff was so supportive and took such great care to answer all my questions both leading up to and following the surgery. The results are truly unbelievable – I just stare at my feet in amazement! And the pain I lived with for years is gone. A life changing experience.

Amazing experience, truly life changing surgery – cannot be more grateful to Dr. Blitz! Results are fantastic, I can’t believe I used to walk around with pain prior. Bunionaplasty is a revolutionary procedure and I’ve recommended to so many colleagues already.

“I cannot express my gratitude enough to Dr. Blitz for doing such an incredible job.Dr. Blitz and his team are kind, patient, professional, and highly talented. The surgery went smoothly, and within 8 weeks, I was back on the Jiu Jitsu mat without any pain.My feet don’t hurt anymore, and my balance has greatly improved. Even my chiropractor remarked that whoever did the bunion surgery is highly skilled and did an incredible job.

Dr. Neil Blitz performed a Bunionplasty surgery on both my feet to correct severe bunions, and I couldn’t be more impressed. His avant-garde approach to surgery is nothing short of innovative. His caring and dedicated demeanor reassured me from the moment I met him in his NYC office. I was able to leave the surgery room walking in boots with just a cane for support, no walker, no crutches! The healing process was remarkably fast with very tolerable pain that can be treated with OTC Tylenol lasted only for 2 days.Remarkably, I returned to work and drove after only two weeks, much to the disbelief of others who couldn’t understand such a rapid recovery. I am beyond thrilled with the results! My feet are now free from the severe bunions that plagued me for years. It truly feels like a miracle. Dr. Blitz is not just a skilled surgeon but a life-changer.

Dr. Blitz and Dr. Grecea are fantastic surgeons! This surgery was the best decision of my life. My physical therapist was even amazed at the results. I would definitely recommend both doctors and their staff in this office to everyone. I’m so thankful I got to do this surgery.

Best experience and outcome. I went to five doctors in New York and Florida before I let Dr. Blitz perform surgery. Within three months I was back to running and within six months, I’m back in stilettos. My operated foot looks better than my regular foot. Couldn’t be happier and it’s been a lifestyle changer. No more pain after 40 years.

Dr. Blitz is truly a miracle worker!!! If any of his future clients could see my before and after photos of my bunions and tailor’s bunions, they wouldn’t have to look any further. The surgery was a complete success and was a life changing decision.

I had an amazing experience with a great end result and speedy recovery. I love my feet now. I lived with a severe bunion on my left foot for many years since I was nervous about anyone operating on my foot and having to keep my foot elevated for so long afterward. I trusted that someone named the Bunion King was serious about helping people with bunions, and having a surgeon who has a lot of experience with the minimally invasive procedure is so important. Dr. Blitz was so nice and professional. I could get around in a boot right after surgery, and only had to take OTC Tylenol for 3 days plus icing after surgery for the pain. The incisions healed nicely and I have great range of motion in my big toe. My physical therapist was even impressed with my recovery time saying that I was ahead of schedule compared to what they usually see. At 6 months out, I feel fully recovered and I can run, jump, skip, hop and rock climb with confidence.

Dr Blitz and his team were simply top notch from beginning to end: knowledgeable, responsive, attentive and caring.The surgery was a success and the recovery exactly as explained and as expected: I walked out of surgery, 2 weeks post op I was walking an average of 5,000 to 8,000 steps daily, 6 weeks post op I was out of the surgical sandal, 8 weeks post op I started running again.My bunion is gone and so has the pain and I couldn’t be happier and more grateful for the care I received from Dr Blitz and his team. Thank you!

My surgery with Dr. Blitz has been life changing. I have struggled with pain and discomfort for years. As someone who works in the medical field and has witnessed countless invasive bunion surgeries, I just could not bring myself to undergo that procedure and long recovery time.After thorough research, I came across Dr. Blitz and his team, and immediately knew he was the surgeon I needed. Wonderful bedside manner, knowledgeable, performs minimally invasive surgery and walking recovery. I had same day bilateral surgery and returned to work 3 weeks later. It is now about 6 months from surgery and I am completely back to normal, with no pain, full flexibility and most importantly back into my favorite shoes. My hospital staff and husband have been in complete shock at my recovery. I cannot recommend Dr. Blitz enough.

Fantastic experience! It’s been almost 8 years since my bunion surgery and my foot is still great. He is compassionate, kind, and best of all does phenomenal work.

I can’t thank this podiatry office enough for the incredible surgery on my tailor’s bunion and hammer toe correction. Their expertise and genuine care made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. Grateful for a pain-free outcome. Highly recommend this team for anyone seeking top-notch podiatric care.

Dr Blitz and Dr Grecea literally changed my life. My grand mother has been completely disabled for 15 years because of her bunions and I knew I would have ended the same way, had I not decided to get surgery. I did both feet, both sides, so 4 bunions fixed all at once 3 and a half months ago and it was THE BEST DECISION I took for myself and my future. At 34 I can now wear normal shoes again, walk without pain, and show off my beautiful new feet to the world. I picked the best time for me to do it, I was ready, I took good care of myself post operation with the wonderful help of my partner, so the surgery and recovery almost felt like the easiest process. I can’t stress it enough, it is SO WORTH IT. Will recommend Dr Blitz, Dr Grecea and Linda to literally everyone who crosses my path and want to take the same steps, pun intended!

**update – about 9 years later and my feet are still pain free with no reappearance of any bunions! I would still recommend Dr. Blitz to anyone needing this surgery. It is a game changer.My experience with Dr. Blitz has been incredible. As a bunion sufferer for over 15 years, i was reluctant to get the surgery. I was petrified, actually. I had met with several surgeons over the years who were very antiquated in their surgical approach. Dr. Blitz has the best bedside manner of any Dr. i have been acquainted with. The pain and discomfort is mild compared to the horror stories people like to taut. My first foot is healing nicely and I have my second surgery in a week. Dr. Blitz’s office staff should also be commended. Between calls and follow ups as well as being available for any questions and concerns, they really care about their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Blitz for your foot surgery needs!!-Brandy Presti

Doctor Blitz is amazing. He did a surgery for me a while back for my pretty rare condition, tarsal coalition. I wasn’t going to be able to run and would’ve had chronic pain if i didn’t have this surgery, and now I can run 5 miles without any pain. Doctor blitz also helped me when I broke my foot skiing, and was incredibly helpful and helped me avoid surgery. He is a great surgeon and I thank and appreciate him daily.

I would recommend Dr Blitz very highly. I had bunions for many years but kept putting off doing anything about them. I finally got to the point that they were negatively impacting my life. I travelled to New York City from South Carolina in January of 2023 to have bunion surgery.I opted to have the surgery on both feet at the same time. I was very nervous but Dr.Blitz was very calming and reassuring. Everyone at the surgical center was so kind and compassionate. I was able to walk short distances on day 1. My incisions were also very small. The outcome of the surgery was great. I have been back to all my normal activities including walking 8-12 miles a day. I am very pleased with the results of my surgery and as stated above would highly recommend Dr. Blitz.

I had both feet done two weeks apart. I walked out of the office both times and had minimal pain. Everyone I encountered through the process was helpful, friendly and professional. I have recommended and given Dr Blitz contact to probably 20 people already. The whole experience was truly seamless and amazing.

In June 2020 I had Bunionplasty surgery with Dr. Blitz and the entire experience was nothing short of amazing! His staff was very informative and caring every step of the way, throughout the whole process – even during recovery. Dr. Blitz takes time out to personally meet you, discuss your surgery in great detail – so you know exactly what to expect. Once you’ve been “Blitzed” right out from surgery, you can walk – no cast or crutches! After 6 weeks – back in your shoes (feeling even more like yourself) but with more confidence! The procedure was 100% minimally invasive and my scars today are hardly noticeable. After surgery Dr. Blitz is also very attentive to your progress and to any questions you may have. His ultimate goal is to make sure you are pain free with a beautiful result – you can’t wait to show off! If you’re looking for any reassurance – this, is it! You will not be disappointed!! There is no one like Dr. Blitz! 🙂

When Dr.Blitz told me I will not need strong painkillers or crutches I could not believe it – I had friends who did the surgery by usual methods and spent months in pain. In fact, nobody believed I would be back to work remotely next day.Dr.Blitz was right: I exited the surgery facility on my feet, no crutches and took nothing stronger than a Tylenol just a couple of times! Back to work next day – we all worked remote during COVID – and back in regular shoes in just a few months.Today, 2.5 years later I can wear shoes with heels – in fact, I danced on heels a few times since and go hiking. And the only scar is so small, an insect bite may leave a bigger one. I am very grateful to Dr Blitz for his innovative methodology and for the wonderful treatment.

Dr. Blitz is a knowledgeble professional doctor, he did my Bunion Surgery and I am extremely satisfied. Wish I did it years ago, but only with him. He truly is the Bunion King. His staff is always extremely helpful, kind, caring. Had a great experience from start to finish. Also Surgical Facility was great and immaculate. All around professionalism.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Blitz and his office. The surgery went very well. Recovery was quick, and three months later my foot looks great and I am back doing zumba and my regular exercises. I am very thankful I went ahead and did it!!!

21:00 03 Mar 23

Dr Blitz was great. I had a double Bunionplasty , left foot in November 2022 and Right foot in December 2022. From the consultation, to the surgeries and post op appointments he was great, informative and personable. The recovery process was tough but I don’t regret doing it . Dr. Blitz did a great job on my feet, now I am bunion free and so happy. Dr.Blitz is truly the Bunion King

21:46 07 Nov 22

I’ve had an incredible experience with Dr. Blitz for bunion surgeries on both feet. Dr. Blitz is thorough in his exams, has wonderful bedside manner, and answered all my questions in medical terms I could understand. Bunion surgery can be a scary recovery to think about, but with Dr. Blitz’s expertise and knowledge – both surgeries have been a breeze. I have been able to walk within a few days and was playing tennis 3 months after my first surgery. If there is any doubt, do the surgery sooner than later and go with Dr. Blitz, you won’t regret it.

Dr. Blitz is an amazing surgeon! He is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and truly cares for his patients. I had a Bunionplasty on both feet only 3 weeks apart, and could not be happier with the results. Dr. Blitz and his staff made the whole process seamless and stress free. My feet look and feel amazing and I highly recommend Dr. Blitz!

Go to Dr Blitz if you want to be in the best hands!!!! He not only worked with my insurance, but made sure to connect me to the best pre op doctor, was super easy to reach and was compassionate and informative throughout the entire process. So happy to have found him for my surgery 100/10 recommend!!!

Dr. Blitz did a revision surgery on my left foot bunion. The bunion was operated by the different doctor in the first a little more than a year ago.The bunion returned and my foot never recovered for 100%.The result achieved in three short months after the revision surgery done by Dr.Blitz has exceeded all my expectations. The bunion was gone, no sign of coming back like it happened pretty soon after the first surgery. I have no pain and walk better than before.Thank you Doc!

I had a big bunion on my left foot, and Dr. Blitz has done a phenomenal job. He is extremely knowledgeable, wonderful, caring, kind and attentive doctor. Thanks to him I was able to walk, dance, jump, run in a short period of time. Never experienced pain and my recovery went smoothly. I highly recommend him to anybody who has issues with bunions or foot related issues. Dr. Blitz is truly the BUNION KING!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Dr. Blitz and his staff are very thoughtful and responsive. As a patient, one knows that Dr. Blitz and his team strive to provide the best care. I am so pleased with my procedure that I wish I would have had the surgery 10 years ago but it took 10 years to find the perfect team.

16:45 20 Aug 21

Dr. Blitz is the BEST! I had a bunion (named Sheila) that had been with me since childhood. I was deathly afraid of having surgery to correct her since all of the Doctors I spoke to said it would be a 12 month recovery and I am a very active person. Dr. Blitz promised walking right after surgery and a full recovery in three months, and he delivered! Anyone that is hemming and hawing over this, go to Dr. Blitz!

I was searching for a foot (bunion) surgeon for quite some time – I was told more than once that I would have to wear a boot for six weeks and I would not be able to walk or drive after surgery without crutches. Then to my surprise my sisters friend found Dr.Blitz and shared her story. I immediately made an appointment for a consultation and before I left my appointment with Dr. Blitz, I had scheduled two surgeries. I am happy to say I had both feet done (bunion surgery) 1 month apart and couldn’t be more happier. Yes, I walked out of surgery with a surgical shoe… NO BOOT, NO CAST, NO CRUTCHES!!!!! Dr. Blitz provided EXACTLY what he said he would during my consultation. In addition, his staff in particular Cheer went above and beyond to make each and every visit friendly and comforting. The nursing staff at the surgical center were extremely compassionate and accommodating and made each surgery a “walk” in the park…..

My experience with Dr. Blitz and his awesome team was amazing. Not only is he rightfully crowned the “Bunion King” for his innovative and significantly less invasive bunionectomy procedure, but his attentive bedside manner is further enhanced by the communication and caring of his team! Special shoutouts to Dr. Wong, Cheer and Alayna – I feel as lucky as Dr. Blitz is to have had the opportunity to work with you to fix my bunion! If, like me, you finally have had enough of your bunions, you owe it to yourself to consider this fine practice.

Janet Rhein

17:27 24 Jun 21

I am so happy that I found Dr. Neal Blitz. I had suffered with severe bunions on both feet, as well as hammer toes and a second toe that crossed over my big toe, for many years. I knew I wanted to get them fixed, but was afraid to, after hearing some scary stories about bunion surgery and the outcomes. Dr. Blitz was very patient with my concerns, and I felt that I had made the right choice. As promised, I was able to walk immediately after both surgeries, which I had one month apart. I had very little pain, and the recovery after each surgery went very well.I had another recent surgery on a tailor’s bunion, and that also went perfectly. My feet look beautiful! I highly recommend Dr. Blitz – he worked wonders on my feet!

I truly can’t imagine a more satisfying process given the complexity of the procedure. Dr. Blitz and his team helped me transition into a place of balance and confidence. When I look at my feet today, I’m just astonished that such a thorough transformation has taken place!

Dr. Blitz is the most comprehensive and dedicated foot doctor I have met. I researched over a decade, waiting for the US to have more modern bunion treatments, as found overseas. He is the REAL DEAL. Every aspect of my surgery and recovery he anticipated and explained and within 6 months, he was right, I didn’t remember any of it. It was that good. The team he has is professional, helpful and it was truly a terrific experience.

Susan Adams

22:50 11 May 21

Dr. Blitz is very professional, calm, confident and was always pleasure to talk with. He performed magic on both of my feet. Explained my surgeries in detail to me, so I knew what to expect. The recovery and transformation were amazing. Still amazed I walked by myself immediately after having foot surgery. Highly recommend!

Anele Slezinger

18:51 11 May 21

Dr. Blitz is the best podiatrist. He corrected my bunion in summer 2020. I recently went to the beach and my toes looked beautiful in my sandals. I have no pain at all. You can hardly tell I’ve had a bunion surgery because there are no scars. I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend him.

Madisen Siegel

21:27 16 Apr 21

Dr. Blitz truly is the Bunion King! He’s an incredible surgeon that can fix even the most distorted bunions. His procedure is innovative and makes recovery so much more doable – no more waiting 6 months for each foot to heal. I highly, highly recommend using him if you have bunions!

Susan Ritter

18:35 02 Apr 21

I can’t thank Dr. Blitz enough for making me feel great about my foot as I have always been self conscious of my bunion. This was my second foot surgery as the one prior was completed the old way with a large scar on the top of my foot and this time you can’t even see where the incision was made. This recovery was so different as I was able to walk on my foot right away and was back to myself very quickly. I would highly recommend Dr Blitz if you are thinking of Bunion surgery as the outcome is incredible and he makes you feel so comfortable through it all.

K. Berman

16:02 18 Mar 21

After searching for two years to find a doctor to do something about my foot pain, I finally found Dr. Blitz. He repaired a tarsal coalition and a split tendon in my left foot. He is highly skilled and a passionate doctor who takes time to explain everything. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Blitz!

Annette Sciascia

13:57 09 Oct 20

I had both my left and right foot surgeries with Dr Blitz. From day one I had nothing but a first class experience with a doctor who is so competent and an innovator in his field. He made me feel comfortable the very first time I met him in the office and discussed my options with him. Of course I opted for the surgical procedure that changed my life. I had arthritis in both feet and could barely walk. I had pain every day for at least 5 years. I never found anyone who I trusted to take care of me, until Dr Blitz. How do you thank someone who gave me back my life!!!! He truly did and I am so grateful to have found him and his wonderful staff. First class care from beginning to end!! Thank you again Dr. God Bless you!! Annette Sciascia.

The bunion surgery was life changing for me. It was pain free from beginning to the end and left me completely free of my previous discomfort. My only regret is not having done it sooner.

Dr. Blitz is an amazing surgeon, doctor, and person. He runs his practice with integrity and professionalism is unmatched. The quality of his work is exceptional and instructions for post op care are great. He made this a seamless procedure and even canceled a major trip due to an unforeseen issue that only he could rectify. I definitely recommend.

Angela Esposito

14:47 21 May 20

My mom and I met him today, he is amazing! My surgery is confirmed for a June and he made me feel comfortable and completely at ease. Definitely not worried about a thing after meeting him. Can’t wait to see the final result. Oh and by the way, his office is beautiful! He didn’t rush us at all and was extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Dr. Blitz! See you soon :)Also, shout out to Alayna (who works for him) she could not be anymore helpful. I email and call her with a ton of questions but she is so nice about it. Totally appreciate all her help!! 🙂

Jean Marie OMallon

01:35 13 Feb 20

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Blitz. He fixed my bunion and two hammer toes. I was able to walk during the whole recovery. There was no cast and no crutches! My foot looks amazing! There is minimal scarring for which I am thrilled about as well. I can now wear any shoes I want without my bunion bulging out and being embarrassed about it! Go and see Dr. Blitz to fix your bunion. You won’t be disappointed!

heather perlman

21:19 11 Feb 20

Amazing. I had a bunion removed 20 years ago and it was a wildly different experience. Dr. Blitz left me with 2 tiny scars, no cast, no boot, and I walked out of surgery. I had full range of motion some 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have bunions, just get them dunion.

Bonnie Heckman

00:13 10 Feb 20

One of the best Doctors! He made me feel very confident in his services. I had bunion surgery and he spent lots of time explaining what he was going to do and follow up after surgery was great too. I never met a doctor who loved his job as much as Dr Blitz. Always upbeat, patient and personable. My surgery and recovery went great! I would recommend Dr Blitz to anyone who needs foot surgery.

RaeDawn

23:20 22 Jan 20

I was nervous for many reasons to proceed with this surgery. However Dr. Blitz and the ladies that work with him , especially Cheer were super helpful and constantly explained everything from paper work to the procedure. Dr. Blitz was always kind and thorough on each of my visits before surgery and after surgery. I’ve heard a ton of horror stories about bunion surgery. When I googled top bunion docs Dr. Blitz was 1st to pop up! If you’re looking look NO FURTHER! I honestly never had pain, even after the first few days after surgery I felt good. No crutches or huge boot. I was able to go back to work as a makeup artist within 2 weeks after surgery. I was back in my regular shoes by the 2nd or 3rd month and my heels I was back in by 5/6 months. Choose Dr. Blitz, your feet WILL thank you!

Don Tipton

19:08 22 Jan 20

I approached Dr. Blitz to correct a previous failed bunionectomy, which he addressed with his Bunionplasty procedure with osteotomy. The results have been exceptional.Though knowing that I’d had a procedure before, he patiently explained the differences with his Bunionplasty technique, and ensured I understood. He and his staff always responded quickly to any questions, and went out of their way to accommodate my schedule when I was stranded overseas by a typhoon.I could walk a few days after the operation, and follow ups always conveyed a clear understanding of the healing process. Now, three months later, the incision has faded to a hairline and I’m enjoying cycling tens of miles a week again.I can’t recommend Dr. Blitz, his staff, and his innovative Bunionplasty procedure enough. My foot looks and feels better than it has in over a decade.

02:19 22 Jan 20

Dr Blitz’s work is amazing. The incisions are small, you’re walking immediately, healing is fast. His care and attention were the best.

Chana Shields

18:33 16 Jan 20

I had a terrific experience with Dr. Blitz. He performed a bunionplasty on my right foot which was very successful. There is really no scarring – you can hardly see the incision – my foot looks great! I am 8 weeks post-op and really pleased with the results. I was able to walk out of the surgical facility right after the surgery and had minimal pain. Dr. Blitz and his staff were really nice and helpful and always available.

Eve Novick

06:57 05 Dec 19

I have total confidence in Dr. Blitz, and would recommend him to anybody. Having had bunion surgery 3 months ago I now have a pretty foot with tiny scars that are obviously temporary. It’s been an optimal experience.

Sharon Smith

22:29 22 Nov 19

I rarely if ever take the time to write reviews but feel that my experience with Dr. Blitz has been so positive that a review was necessary. I have suffered with painful, unsightly bunions for years and have tried to avoid surgery because of all the negatives normally associated with bunion surgery. I have done extensive research on procedures and different surgeons and until I found Dr. Blitz I was not comfortable undergoing surgery. Immediately upon my initial consultation I felt that I was going to be in good hands and was impressed with his innovative procedures that provided for less down time. His office staff have been exceptionally professional and courteous. Dr. Blitz thoroughly explained surgery procedures, made sure my questions were answered, and was readily available by phone or text post surgery. At this time I am six weeks post surgery having had moderate to large bunions removed from both feet at the same time and a tailors bunion removed from the left foot as well. I was walking unaided the night I came home, driving at two weeks, and wearing sneakers this week. For me getting both feet done at the same time was the right decision and I am beyond grateful to Dr. Blitz for his expertise.

Dr. Blitz performed a bunionectomy on my left foot in November 2016 and I’m extremely happy with the results (the scar is barely visible!!).From the start, Dr. Blitz made me feel confident about the procedure plan and on the day of surgery was able to keep me calm and relaxed (which is incredibly difficult to do!)I literally walked out of surgery (with a cane) and was able to begin physical therapy about 2 weeks post-op; which sped up my recovery time. My physical therapist was shocked that I was mobile so quickly after surgery and was even more impressed by the beautiful, yet minimal scar. Dr. Blitz is a true master of his art!I highly recommend Dr. Blitz and his staff. My overall experience from start to finish was seamless. His staff is always accommodating, even on short notice and takes the time to explain procedures, cost and insurance process (in laymen’s terms).

Dr. Blitz is an exceptional surgeon. My case was very challenging, however, Dr. Blitz operated on me with results that far exceeded my expectations. The office staff is very professional and courteous. If you need a podiatrist don’t hesitate to see Dr. Blitz, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Let me start by saying, if you’re looking for a foot surgeon stop here. Dr. Blitz is amazing. My daughter had been suffering for months with pain related to a rare, tarsal coalition condition. I, as a mother, was at the end of my rope trying to find a solution for my daughters pain. I did my research and came across Dr. Blitz. We met with him shortly after I called the office. He immediately put us at ease with his knowledge of the condition. Surgery was scheduled and it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Cheer, the office manager was so helpful and amazing with any questions we had. I’m writing this 7 weeks after my daughters surgery, she is pain free and walking again and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Thank you Dr. Blitz for an amazing job. You are an amazing person who truly cares about your patients.

Dr Neal Blitz performed the most progressive surgical procedure available in the world, to repair my left foot bunion and overlapping second toe.When one looks at the X-ray films after surgery, it is simply a perfection of technological architecture , a piece of art.As a doctor, Dr. Blitz is extremely knowledgeable , dedicated to and caring for his patients.He was there for me throughout my healing.After surgery, I walked out of the operating room using a cane only, I started to see patients in my office at 2 weeks after surgery walking without support, and at 3 months I was allowed to resume my ballroom dancing !I am a doctor myself and I know when I see an exceptionally good doctor , this is Dr Neal Blitz!I am strongly recommending Dr Blitz to anyone needing bunion surgery, to be able to walk and dance again free of pain and deformities!

I had been considering having bunion surgery for about 10 years, but the doctors I had encountered used traditional methods. I didn’t want that long scar on top of the foot, especially since I have a lot of dark pigment in my skin and was concerned about permanent scarring. I was looking for a surgeon to cut on the inside of the foot, rather than on top.One day, I decided to “Google” non-invasive bunion surgery and Dr. Blitz’s website popped up. After investigating, I was intrigued by his methods and happy to discover his office was located in nearby Manhattan (I live on Long Island). So, I filled out the online inquiry, not expecting much. To my surprise, I received a call the next day from the office manager, Cheer, and booked a consultation.Arriving at the Fifth Avenue office, I was immediately impressed. The office was very well run, clean, orderly and the staff was very professional. Then I met the man in the blue scrubs. Dr. Blitz was immediately likeable, explained the procedures thoroughly and answered my questions completely. I decided this was my guy!We booked the surgeries 3 weeks apart. The plan was a bunionectomy and a hammer toe fix on the right foot, first and then the same procedures on the left foot, with the addition of a Tailor’s bunion fix.The Surgery Center, where the procedures were performed, was equally as impressive. It was efficient, organized and “eat off the floor” clean. The staff there is amazing, as well. I was treated like a princess and they made me feel at ease. I was weight bearing immediately after each surgery and returned to work 10 days later (I’m a teacher).Well, it’s now 4 months since my first surgery and I couldn’t be happier. The incisions are tiny and on the inside of my feet, better than I had imagined. In retrospect, I would definitely make the same choice. I can’t believe how good my feet look and feel! I’m bunion free and wearing sexy sandals.Dr. Blitz and his entire staff have my utmost gratitude for their kindness, patience, skill and expertise. He truly is the “Bunion King”.

Dr. Blitz performed bunion surgery on my right foot approximately four months ago. I am SO happy with the results; foot feels great! Minimal to no pain post surgery and very smooth recovery. My physical therapist said it’s the best and fastest bunion surgery recovery she has ever seen. Office staff was nice. Very happy i decided to have Dr. Blitz do my surgery. No regrets!

Prior to hearing about Dr. Blitz I had been in excruciating pain for over 3 decades in my left ankle. I couldn’t walk, or jog or stand for even a few hours.After seeing a local Orthopedic surgeon who advised I consider a career change (I have to stand up all day long); I searched the Internet in frustration for better advice and discovered Dr. Blitz. My first discussion was with Cheer who was great and she set up a time for me to chat with Dr. Blitz.I was super impressed the very first time I spoke with Dr. Blitz. Finally, someone who understood and could offer a “REAL” solution. I asked if I could expect about 80% relief after surgery (which at the time I considered pretty darn good). Then he said the words that I never thought I would ever hear… He said” I can relieve your pain by 100%, everything that you do today that causes pain will no longer cause pain after surgery”.Dr. Blitz and I had that conversation February of 2017. By November of the same year he performed the surgery. Everything he said came to pass. Dr. Blitz is a God-send. I have prayed for years to be pain free and I am so thankful Jesus Christ lead me to him and used him to give me back my life! I have lost 30 pounds and counting. (Dr. Blitz, I’m working on getting you that marathon finish line photo!) I no longer grind my teeth at night and my entire demeanor is lighter. I never thought I would ever know what a pain free life felt like! Best advice I can give anyone is to call Dr. Blitz… don’t wait!Thank you Dr. Blitz!

Dr. Blitz did a Bunion and Hammertoe surgery on my right foot. I am so pleased with the results. Dr. Blitz was the perfect choice for my surgery. Dr. Blitz thoroughly explained the procedure and patiently answered all my questions and reassured me every step of the way. He was never too busy to return a call or a text whenever I had a question or concern. His staff is very accommodating and helpful. I consider myself very lucky to have selected Dr. Blitz to perform my foot surgery. Thank you Dr. Blitz!

Dr. Blitz performed the Bunionplasty® procedure (plastic surgery for bunions) on my both feet. I was able to have the two surgeries done within 2.5 weeks as his modern technique allowed me to walk right after surgery without casts or crutches. Only a post-surgical shoe was required for 6 weeks (just found out that chunky sandals are fashionable nowadays 😉). I was able to walk around the apartment right away and took the ferry and subway to see Dr. Blitz for my follow-up appointment 9 days after surgery. My overall experience was outstanding and this is why:1. During consultation Dr. Blitz explains the procedure in an understandable and calming way to take away any worries2. He performs the surgery perfectly with just tiny incisions that will soon fade away3. Dr. Blitz follows-up on you post surgery and is very responsive whenever you have questions or concerns4. The result is amazing – the feet look aesthetic again and walking isn’t a problem at all5. He takes his job and responsibilities very serious and you feel being in the best hands all the timeTo me these are the most important reasons that really makes Dr. Blitz the “Bunion King”. I can highly recommend him and his great team.I got #blitzed – hope you will too! 😊

I went to Dr. Blitz for a tear in my peroneal tendon located on my right ankle which caused me constant pain when i walked. Dr. Blitz performed peroneal tendon repair surgery in September of 2018. It is now almost 6 months later and even though it has been a slow recovery I’m very happy with the results. It is great walking pain free. Great Dr. and staff.

Dr. Blitz changed my life. He performed double bunion surgery on me about 5 years ago. At that time, I couldn’t walk two blocks without intense pain. After the surgery, I could walk, exercise, do yoga and ballet barre classes–all without pain. He is a wonderful caring doctor. His office manager, Cheer, is incredibly nice and helpful. They really care. I had been to 3 other doctors for consultations before Dr. Blitz and none of them inspired confidence. Neal is a godsend.

He is an amazing doctor, hands down the best foot doctor/surgeon I’ve met! I had both of my feet done and I was up and walking within 2 days. He explained how I would feel after surgery and the phases of recovery, and he was 100% correct! I wish I didnt wait so long to have this procedure done, but in a way I’m glad I did my research and found Dr. Blitz and his amazing staff. I wouldn’t want anyone else to do my procedure and I’m so pumped to have pain free and normal looking feet! I can finally go and get a pedicure without being embarrassed. I recommend him whole heartily and I wish I could rate him above a 5!

I was born with pronated feet (flat-footed) which meant I had a small arch. Over time, I developed bunions on both feet. Eventually they became arthritic and painful. That pain traveled to my ankles, knees, low back, even my neck. I started seeing a chiropractor for an unrelated back injury and he would perform muscle/balance testing on me. My balance was always off. He said if he gave me an adjustment, within 15 minutes after leaving I would be out of alignment again. This was due to lack of structural support on my feet. I have been wearing custom arch supports in all of my shoes and sneakers since my early 20’s. My body was super sensitive and if the arch supports were even the slightest bit off, my balance would be off as well.My podiatrist noted that I was losing range of motion in the big toe joint on both feet. He suggested I consider corrective surgery, and referred me to a highly regarded/well respected orthopedic foot surgeon in the area. I made an appt, and 2 months out was the earliest one I could get. After a Google Search, I came across Dr. Blitz website and was impressed with the results. I made an appt to see him as well for a consult. He has a very impressive resume, comes across as sincere and all around nice guy, and is very confident in his abilities. He said he could fix both of my feet at once, and I would be able to get around shortly thereafter. I left feeling confident but still wanted a 2nd opinion from the highly regarded surgeon. I saw him, and he told me he would only work on one foot and wait six months to fix the other foot. He told me any surgeon would be crazy to do both at once and I should not trust such a person. He said he has been doing the procedure for the last 20 years and he could perform it in his sleep if he needed. I made another appt to see Dr. Blitz and questioned him. He asked me if I would prefer a procedure which is 20 yrs old, or a modern one perfected by him, using newer methods. He raised a good point. I relayed the comment about a surgeon being crazy to perform both feet at once. Dr. Blitz said flat out, he is more talented at this, performs several surgeries often, and the way he does it offers shorter recovery times. It did not come across as brash but rather confident in his abilities. That made me feel safe.I had a Bunionplasty on both feet November 15th 2018. I will attach photos of before and after. You will see that all of my toes are now straight, I no longer have bunions, and the sides of my feet are flat. I hobbled around on crutches the first week but stayed off my feet for the majority of the time. Week 2 I was able to walk around but still required the crutches for support. By the 3rd week I was able to get around with just a cane. I still stayed off my feet as much as I could and kept them elevated to ensure the best possible recovery.In January I saw my Chiropractor again. He performed muscle/balance testing and for the first time EVER, I was completely steady on my feet. In his words, the surgeon was highly talented, did amazing work, and this procedure was Life-Changing for me as now I have firm structural support – even without wearing orthotics in my shoes.It’s worth noting, I went out of pocket for Dr. Blitz vs the highly regarded surgeon who was in-network. Today I am confident I made the right choice as this was worth every penny – both for the effectiveness and least amount of downtime. Tomorrow is my 3 month anniversary of the surgery and I am pain free and have 2 brand new feet. Thank you Dr. Blitz.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Blitz and his Staff! What an amazingly skilled and competent surgeon. I had a botched surgery on both feet 26 years ago, and I was sent away by many doctors that didn’t feel that they could help me with the severe pain and disfigurement that I was suffering. Until I walked into Dr. Blitz’s office. He had a very confident matter of fact way of speaking to me that was like a breath of fresh air. And he delivered! I truly Love Dr. Blitz because he really got me back on my feet and back in action. My only regret is that I didn’t find him sooner! What an amazingly skilled and competent surgeon. I can’t thank him enough for what he did for me.

Dr. Blitz is an outstanding surgeon. The care before, during and after surgery was exceptional by his whole team. I am now pain-free and was walking the day of my surgery.

On September 4, 2018, Dr. Blitz did a Bunion and Hammertoe surgery on my foot. This was the best experience I have ever encountered. I was able to walk out with just a cane after the surgery. On my two weeks follow up appointment when he removed the bandage I was amazed. The incisions was minimum and barely visible. I was very pleased, my whole experience was just wonderful. Dr. Blitz takes his time with you and explains the whole procedure. His staff is also amazing, Cheer and Julissa are just marvelous. They are very personable and helpful. They are also knowledgeable and very professional. I would recommend Dr. Blitz to everyone, believe me, you will not be disappointed he is the Master of Bunion Surgery and Foot Reconstruction.

My wife, Diane, took extensive measures to research bunion and hammertoe surgical options. Flying to NYC from VA to have surgery on both feet by Dr. Blitz and his caring staff was the best decision we could have made! The results exceeded our expectations. No post-surgical pain . . . virtually no scars . . . back playing Pickleball 3 months later. Thank you Dr. Blitz for your expertise and artistry provided in your minimally invasive foot surgery . . . the only way to go!!

I want to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Blitz for the surgery and professional care given to me. I had a wonderful experience when I had Bunionplasty and follow up visit to Dr. Blitz office. The staff wasincredibly friendly and professional. I highly recommend to visit Dr. Blitz if you need to do Bunionplasty.

I had bone spurs in my right foot with a bunion. I was incapable of flexing my foot without pain which meant i was unable to run distance (i had run 2 marathons prior). I’m about 12 weeks post surgery and just ran my first 5k after. While i still need to rebuild my fitness and speed, I was a still able to have a respectable finish. Dr. Blitz and his staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. Im happy with the results. I have 3 tiny scars, two of which my husband says he cannot see. I walked out of surgery and was on my feet the Monday after surgery and never off of them. I cannot thank Dr. Blitz and his staff enough!

When a friend heard that I was looking for a surgeon to consult with for foot problems, she was very happy to refer Dr. Neal Blitz, who had operated on her broken toe. She was extremely pleased with the results and the professionalism of Dr. Blitz and his staff. After consulting with two other podiatrists and then Dr. Blitz, I felt assured that Dr. Blitz was the right choice for me. At the end of March, I scheduled a bunion and hammer toe surgery for my left foot. The surgery was a great success; within a week, I was able to walk my dog and in May was able to participate in a 5K walk I signed up for earlier in the year and thought I would not be able to do. I was so happy with the results of my first surgery that I scheduled a second surgery for my other foot in July. Again within a week, I was able to walk my dog and again participated in a 4 mile walk in Central Park for the America Cancer Society. It’s been seven months since my first procedure and my feet are callous and pain free after many years of suffering and trying to find shoes that would be comfortable! Dr. Blitz really cared about me as a patient and his office manager even worked things out with my insurance company. Thank you, Dr. Blitz, for giving me a better quality of life!

My experience having Dr. Blitz surgically remove my bunion proved to be a worthwhile one. I now can wear any style shoe, work out at the gym without any pain and there was no scar left from the surgery!There was no need for crutches after the procedure and I walked out of the hospital wearing a special shoe which I wore for about 2 weeks. I would recommend Dr. Blitz’s Bunionplasty to anyone suffering from unpleasant bunions.

I had bunion surgery on both feet 3 weeks apart. I won’t lie and say it was painless but Dr. Blitz was always available for calls during recovery time. I even text at 3 am due to pain and he answered right away with instructions that helped. It is now 5 months later and I am wearing heels again and running!

Should have done this years ago! I had two bunioneictomies within the last 7 months and regret not having done them earlier. I had heard that you need to be off your feet for months after having the surgery. Not true with the way Dr. Blitz does the surgery. Up and around the next day, taking care of my family and started wearing my gorgeous heels again. He is compassionate and straightforward. Always available to answer questions and the office staff is sweet, kind, funny and very respectful to people’s busy schedules. I am wearing my Jimmy Choo’s again – without pain!

I had a bunionectomy and hammer toe surgery last March. (2017). My experience was superb both at the office with Dr. Blitz and his staff, and at the hospital center where I had my surgery. He was very knowledgeable and patient while explaining the procedures, and always available post surgery when I had questions.The most amazing part was that there was very little scarring (and totally gone a year later), and I was walking in a small sneaker like boot within a couple of days …..and pain free!I would highly recommend having Dr. Blitz perform any surgeries on a foot or ankle, and would trust him 100%. A very rare find in a surgeon…Many thanks Dr. Blitz and staff!!!

It’s been over a year since my bunion surgery with Dr. Blitz and my foot looks and, more importantly, feels like it did before a bunion ever developed. Truth be told, one or two nights after the surgery when the nerve block had worn off, I was in quite a bit of pain–but about three or four days later I was able to bear weight on my foot and walk without crutches. This is HUGE in the post bunion-surgery world. Dr. Blitz’s bunionplasty technique only required me to take about eight days off from work, versus a few weeks. Once I returned to the office, I was in a soft shoe (not a boot) and walking with some challenges, but independently and without any aid.After a couple of months, I was a little concerned that my foot’s swelling would never go down or look normal again. Dr. Blitz tempered my expectations: patience is a virtue, and totally necessary after this surgery. About four/five months post procedure, I was out of my sneakers and able to wear my normal shoes again, which felt like a huge accomplishment.In addition to the surgery itself, the payment/insurance process discussion with Dr. Blitz’s office staff and the facility where I had the procedure done (Midtown Surgery) was second-to-none. I was so impressed with the way they managed it all and gave me the details I needed. Good customer service is so hard to come by these days, and I’m extremely grateful to Dr. Blitz and the staff who very effectively allayed my worries (both financial and pain).In sum, the surgery was completely worth it and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A belated thank you to Dr. Blitz and staff!

Dr. Blitz is simply the best doctor I’ve ever met, and I feel lucky that he is my doctor for bunion surgery. I don’t compliment someone as “the best” very easily, so I want to share my experience to explain why I give him such a high compliment. I hope sharing my experience could help someone in the future. First, he is world’s top expert in the field of bunion surgery. When I say top expert, I mean he has published many journal articles on this subject, developed new method, created patent, and has done thousands of bunion surgeries in the real world. He is a top expert in both theoretical and practical sense in this field. Second, he is a super caring doctor. I’m a very meticulous person by nature, so I bothered him a lot of times (sometimes very late at night) after the surgery for some of my concerns and questions, and he always responds to my questions and concerns and give instructions and advices in minutes (except when he’s in the surgery room). That’s right, in minutes. I don’t know how a well-known and super busy doctor like him manages to do that, but he did it. I truly feel he cares about the results of my surgery, and he’s truly willing to use all his knowledge and resources to make sure that I get the best results. This is very rare these days. Third, he did, like he promised, gave me a fabulous/fantastic/amazing result that I’m extremely satisfied with (in all aspects). I feel truly grateful to Dr. Blitz’s amazing surgery skills. Besides Dr. Blitz being an amazing doctor, one more thing amazing about Dr. Blitz’s office is his staff members. Chere and Jalissa are super helpful with all the insurance instructions and are always very welcoming and super responsive. (Like many patients, I’ve also read every single review before I chose a doctor to visit, so I hope this review would help you make the right decision like I did.)

Dr. Blitz performed tarsal coalition surgery on our 14 year old daughter’s foot in February 2017. As parents, it was not an easy decision for us to make to have our daughter undergo foot surgery. When we first met Dr. Blitz, after researching and meeting with other doctors, we immediately felt confident and trusted him to do our daughter’s surgery. We chose Dr. Blitz because of his extensive experience as a foot surgeon, and his publications in several medical journals about the condition she had.Dr. Blitz is an exceptional doctor and surgeon. He truly cares about his patients and has a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Blitz spent a lot of time explaining to us the surgery and how the surgery will help our daughter’s condition. We also like the fact that Dr. Blitz and his team have been performing surgeries together for a long-time. Also, Dr. Blitz’s office staff is outstanding, personable and knowledgeable. After surgery and he checked in several times with us and was truly caring it something we will never forget. Dr. Blitz would often call and text our daughter to check in to see how she was recovering. It’s been almost 8 months since the surgery, and our daughter’s foot/ankle is functioning as well as Dr. Blitz said it would. Our daughter is very pleased with the results! We highly recommend Dr. Blitz.

I’m currently on day 4th of my recuperation from surgery & feel better than ever! Dr. Blitz is the best! This surgery was not as bad as expected given the severity of my bunion.The swelling is the most painful part of this procedure but once that begun to subside, I felt relieved & grateful! Today I have been able to mobilize without a lot of pain and slowly put pressure back on the operated foot. I’m sure that following doctor’s orders have helped me but Dr. Blitz has a gift. I am so happy I waited 20 years to find him! I researched the BEST & that’s exactly who I got!

What is a bunion?

No two bunions are the same.

A bunion, or hallux abductovalgus, is a condition that results in a bony prominence on the inside of the foot, at the big toe joint. Many people think bunions are an overgrowth of bone. But a bunion is actually the dislocation of the big toe joint as it bulges out from beneath the skin. Bunions result when the bones of the feet misalign, causing the big toe to deviate toward the second toe. They sometimes need to be corrected by surgery.
