Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

Great experience with Dr. Blanken! He takes his time with his patients and has years of experience. I probably asked too many questions, but he was very patient and took the time to explain everything clearly. The staff was also great and very friendly!

I went to Dr. Brandon Blanken to get a third surgical opinion (after being told two very different things from two other doctors), and he provided excellent guidance. He thoroughly explained the pros and cons of each treatment option, grounded his thoughts in data/studies, and even brought a second doctor into the examination room during my appointment to weigh in on how I should proceed.

Doctors are extremely competent, the staff is very responsive and helpful, and Dr.B Blanken is very knowledgeable about folks with hyper mobility and recommends excellent care. All of their receptionists are absolutely top notch. Really can’t say enough about the excellent care given at Blanken podiatry

Amazing Podiatry practice! All of the staff in the office was great! They are friendly, efficient, and caring. Dr. Blanken is very welcoming. He listened to me explain why I was there, very thorough with all of my concerns and ensured that I was able to ask all of my questions. Dr. Blanken went above and beyond for me, not too many places have this type of environment. Great practice, and great staff!

Dr. Blanken was down to earth and clearly explained my diagnosis and treatment plan. His office is easy to reach (free parking). His staff is cheerful and efficient. No problem getting appointments, and no billing problems experienced. My time was respected: I was always seen promptly, and visits were thorough and efficient. I highly recommend this practice.
