She is A Surgical Leader, But Surgery Should Be the Last Resort
We at Aung Foot Health Clinic believe in doing what’s best for your unique situation and that rarely begins with surgery. Instead, Dr. Aung takes a more conservative approach to treatment and only once we’ve exhausted all non-surgical treatment options will we pursue a surgical approach.
If we decide surgery is the only option for relief, you can rely on our surgical expertise for meaningful relief. Learn about bunion surgery, neuroma surgery and hammertoe surgery solutions.

We Work Hard to Keep Your Medical Costs Low
While finding the best solution for your problem is our primary concern, we always pay attention to the cost of care and do everything we can to keep your costs as low as possible. If there are less expensive treatments that provide the same outcomes as more expensive ones we will use those less expensive treatments first. And unlike hospitals and hospital owned clinics, we do not charge a facility fee that can more than double the cost of care. Our goal is to find the treatment that will give you 100% relief at the lowest cost.
We Respect Your Time
We want to ensure that you are seen on time and rarely have to wait. We schedule longer than average appointments and do not overbook. To help our goals of seeing each patient at their appointed time we ask that you complete your health information on our patient portal prior to your appointment. We also ask that you show up on time for your appointment.
