Dr. Schweger preformed a bunionectomy on my foot and my outcome was amazing. I became allergic to the sutures after my surgery, and Dr. Schweger fixed it!
A++ Service. They made me feel really welcome and the whole time I was there, every single team member introduced themselves & made me feel like I was in the right place.
Dr. Schweger read my previous records, asked me relevant questions, and listened closely to my answers. She diagnosed & provided me with more information on my condition.
