Advanced Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery in Manhattan
Bunions are a progressive foot condition that can cause pain, swelling, difficulty wearing shoes, and changes in foot alignment. When conservative treatments no longer provide relief, minimally invasive bunion surgery may offer an effective solution.
Using specialized surgical techniques and smaller incisions, we can correct the deformity while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues, helping patients return to their normal activities with greater comfort and confidence.
What Is a Bunion?
A bunion is a bony prominence that develops at the base of the big toe when the joint gradually shifts out of alignment. Over time, the big toe may move toward the smaller toes, causing pain, inflammation, and difficulty with daily activities.
Without proper treatment, bunions can continue to worsen and may contribute to additional foot problems, including Heel Pain, altered gait mechanics, and discomfort during walking or exercise.
Bunion Treatment Options
Treatment recommendations depend on the severity of the deformity and symptoms.
Options may include:
- Supportive footwear recommendations
- Orthotics
- Activity modification
- Anti-inflammatory treatments
- Platelet Rich Plasma Injections (PRP) when appropriate
- Advanced surgical correction
- Minimally invasive bunion surgery
Our goal is to relieve pain, restore alignment, and improve long-term foot function.

Benefits may include:
- Smaller incisions

EXCELLENT Based on 102 reviews Posted on Google Wendy Jo CohenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Perez is a kind and talented doctor. I spent 2 years trying to find someone who could help me with my foot and was given one misdiagnosed after another. Dr Perez found the problem immediately . She got me scheduled for surgery very quickly and now I'm doing PT and am expected to make a complete recovery.Posted on Google MayerlineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to give a huge thank you to Dr. Perez for helping to restore the health of my toenails. When I first started treatment, my toenails were all black and I honestly was worried about whether it would ever improve. After 5 treatments (see attached), I noticed a change in the color of my nails, and after 10 treatments, my toenails has gone from black to pink. Images not shown. This process has taught me that healing takes time, patience and consistency. I am so grateful for the care professionalism and treatment plan that I received and after 2 more treatments, I will be moving into maintenance and I cannot be happier with the progress. I cannot wait to wear open toe shoes again without nail polish. 😀 Since my toenails are pink again, the thought of covering them up, may not be an option I will choose.💃Posted on Google Amy XieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Dr. Perez while being treated for my toe fracture. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the entire recovery process. She explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment plan.Posted on Google Molly HagmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giannin is so knowledgeable and my visit gave me a lot of insight about my bunion pain and also my Achilles that had bothered me in the past too. Highly recommend giving her a visit!Posted on Google Aryeh GamoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Dr. Perez. She was extremely attentive to my needs and provided exceptional care and service throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional treatment with lasting benefits.Posted on Google Keith FrazierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Perez has a great personality that’s friendly, engaging and thoughtful. She remembers personal details which add to the personal touch that many physicians lack, especially within any specialty. I thought the absolute worse, that I had fungus or that my foot was going to fall off. Turns out it was eczema, but scared me for sure. She brought my mind to ease and actually prescribed the right thing on the first visit. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Eric VillegasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yesterday was my first visit with Dr. Perez. I was impressed by her practice. Very chic, modern and clean. The technology she uses is above par. I was able to receive some test results immediately. The staff is warm and friendly and definitely conveyed empathy and assurance. This was refreshing. The Doctor took her time with the consultation. She was detailed in her explanation and thorough with her diagnosis and prognosis. She allowed for questions and provided detailed replies and options for treatment. At no time did I feel rushed. The doctor spoke with candor about my circumstances and didn't fill me with any false hope. I appreciated her direct approach on how I got to where I am currently. Even though some of the information shared was difficult to hear, I did leave with an optimistic outlook. I look forward to returning for our follow-up visit and the treatment proposed. Thank you Dr. Perez!Posted on Google Julie NamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dr. Perez is an excellent foot and ankle surgeon. I recently underwent an ankle arthroscopy with cement injection, PRP injection, and a bunionectomy.
