Comments: I had degenerative cartilage in my ankles, which caused severe pain for over 23 years. I had been to several doctors and received injections/treatments, but still had pain. One doctor suggested surgery such as making all the bones fused together, restricting movement., not giving me any joint movement. I researched online and found Dr. Downey. My first visit was thorough and gave me hope for being pain-free. My ankle replacement surgery was a success! I am able to be active with little to no pain. I was treated, not only as a patient, but as a friend. I highly recommend Dr. Downey and Trinity Foot and Ankle for your podiatry needs. If you have any doubt about your future quality of life, please do not hesitate to give Dr. Downey a visit.
