- Reconstructive SurgeryWhile we care for any ailment of the foot from toenail to talus (the bone that attaches to the ankle), Dr. Fillinger has advanced training in the surgical treatment of the foot.

But sometimes, like in the case of injury or congenital deformity or even deforming diseases like arthritis, surgical intervention provides the most significant and lasting relief.
