Bunion Surgery in Atlanta, GA
If your bunion has reached the point where conservative care no longer keeps you comfortable, surgical correction is the definitive option — and it may be simpler than you expect. Dr. Jason E. Morris is a board-certified, fellowship-trained foot surgeon who performs selected bunion corrections right in our Atlanta office under local anesthesia, with more advanced reconstructions at the Atlanta Center for Foot and Ankle Surgery in Sandy Springs.
What is bunion surgery?
Bunion surgery (bunionectomy) realigns the drifted bone and joint behind the big toe and corrects the soft-tissue balance that let it drift. There is no single bunion procedure — the right one depends on the severity of the deformity, the joint's condition, and your foot's structure. That is why an X-ray-based evaluation comes before any surgical recommendation.
Common symptoms
- You may be a candidate for surgery if:
- Pain persists despite proper shoes, padding, and orthotics
- The deformity keeps progressing
- Shoes or activity are significantly limited by the bump
- The big toe joint is stiff or arthritic
- The bunion is pushing the second toe out of position
Common causes & risk factors
- Bunions themselves develop from inherited foot structure, footwear pressure, flat foot mechanics, and arthritis — surgery addresses the deformity those factors produced.
When should you see a foot doctor?
- Your pain is persistent and activity-limiting
- You want the bump and toe drift corrected, not just cushioned
- Conservative care has been given a fair trial
- You have realistic goals and can follow recovery instructions
- Serious health risks have been reviewed with Dr. Morris
How we evaluate it
Every surgical decision starts with an examination and weight-bearing X-rays of your foot. Dr. Morris measures the joint angles, discusses which procedure fits your deformity, reviews anesthesia and health considerations, and gives you a clear picture of expected recovery before anything is scheduled.
Treatment options at United Foot & Leg
In-office bunionectomy
Selected bunion corrections are performed in our office under local anesthesia. Most patients walk the same day and return to normal activity quickly — this is the option our practice is known for.
Minimally invasive and open techniques
The technique is matched to the deformity — from smaller corrective procedures to full realignment with fixation. You will know exactly which is recommended and why.
Hospital-based reconstruction
Advanced deformities and combined corrections (bunions with hammertoes, flatfoot reconstruction) are performed at the Atlanta Center for Foot and Ankle Surgery in Sandy Springs, GA.
Cosmetic refinement
As a fellowship-trained cosmetic foot surgeon, Dr. Morris also addresses appearance concerns — residual prominence, scarring, and toe contour — as part of surgical planning.
Simple, transparent pricing
$125
Base medical exam / office visit
Prepaid online when you book — every appointment starts here.
TeleMedicine and On-Demand visits are prepaid online when you book; the remaining fees are paid in person at your visit — never online. In-office bunion surgery ($2,250, comparable at $3,950) includes the procedure and all post-op care and appointments for the 90-day post-op period.
We accept cash, HSA, credit cards, Stripe, and Zelle. All bookings are non-refundable.
What to expect
In-office correction begins with numbing the foot — you remain comfortable and awake throughout. The correction is performed, dressed protectively, and you leave with a post-surgical shoe. You will know your follow-up schedule before you go home.
Recovery & follow-up
In-office bunion surgery is designed around rapid return: most patients walk immediately in a post-surgical shoe and resume normal activity in days to weeks depending on the procedure. Individual recovery varies with the technique your foot required.
