 QUOTES:

“A Tailor’s bunion, people assume it’s a bump, it’s a growth, it’s a tumor. Can you knock it down? But then I talk to them, Look, it’s an ​​angulation or a deviation of that fifth metatarsal. It’s literally just slightly rotating out.” -Dr. Raafae Hussain [06:11]

“These are common problems. They have reasonable success with conservative, non-surgical options, but you have to be willing to adjust your shoes.” -Dr. Damien Dauphinee [20:08]
