RGV Foot & Ankle Institute
Minimally Invasive
Bunion & Hammertoe
Surgery
Micro-incision bunion and hammertoe correction for patients across McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, and the Rio Grande Valley. Walk the same day. No screws. No general anesthesia.
A Modern Approach
Bunion Correction Without the Scar
Traditional bunion surgery means a large incision, internal screws or plates, weeks in a cast, and months on crutches. Our minimally invasive approach is different. Using specialized burr instruments inserted through incisions just a few millimeters wide, Dr. Galvan reshapes the bone with precision — no large cuts, no permanent hardware, no general anesthesia.
Patients walk out of our clinic in a surgical shoe the same day, return to closed footwear in weeks rather than months, and end up with a foot that not only feels better but looks natural.
