About the Author
Dr. Neenah Aguirre-Wong, DPM is a podiatric physician and foot and ankle surgeon with a passion for helping patients better understand their diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
Throughout her clinical practice, Dr. Aguirre-Wong has found that patients often leave an appointment with the same questions: What should I expect during recovery? What is normal? When can I walk, exercise, drive, or return to the activities I enjoy?
She created the Foot & Ankle Patient Guide Series to answer those questions in a clear, practical, and easy-to-follow format. Each guide combines her experience treating foot and ankle conditions with current medical evidence, using straightforward explanations, illustrations, recovery timelines, and practical tips to help patients better understand the road ahead.
Her goal is simple: to help patients feel informed, prepared, and confident throughout their recovery.
These guides are independently created for general educational purposes and are not a substitute for individualized medical advice from your treating healthcare professional.
