Hubby had two separate surgeries in 2011 called HyProCure, one in each foot and Dr. Tony preformed them.
See my husband suffers from flat feet and it's not just shoe insert fixing flat feet, it's REALLY flat feet. Well no more because Ricciardi has changed his life!
Because HyProCure helped his left foot he is good to go and has a perfectly formed arch now! But the bad news was the more severe right foot.
Throughout the years my interactions with Tony has been nothing but stellar. This man is cool, calm, collected, and has quiet the sense of humor. I just really like the guy. He is an amazing person.
A few months ago hubby started having pain and discomfort and he found that the dreaded arthritis could be starting in his right foot.
Fast forward to March 6th and hubby had the following on his right foot, a four hour surgery:
-Evan Osteotomy with graft and fixation
-Dwyer Osteotomy calcaneus with fixation
-Cotton Osteotomy with graft and fixation
-Gastrocnemius recession with advancement posterior tibial tendon right foot
We are now over a month hump and he has had a splint, a cast, and now another cast, then he will have a boot and then on the third month he can start physical therapy to learn how to walk again! He is doing great!
We are blessed that Tony takes our insurance which is a PPO and also that his work is so wonderful that he can work from home for three months! He can go onsite occasionally but he is no weight baring so he has to be careful.
To sum it up Dr. Anthony Ricciardi improves lives everyday! He just can't believe hubby had perfect balance and walking until the age of 40 when he reconstructed his right foot ;)
