Minimally invasive bunion surgery helps mom of four recover quickly

After living with foot pain for years, Christi S. discovered a life-changing solution that not only relieved her discomfort but allowed her to get back to the activities she loves—faster than she imagined.

The Pensacola resident’s journey with Dr. Kimia Sohrabi, a podiatrist at Ascension Sacred Heart, began when her primary care doctor referred her to address a long-standing bunion. After living with the pain for years and as a busy mom of four, she needed a quick recovery to get back to her routine.

After learning about minimally invasive bunion surgery, Christi was relieved to discover that Dr. Sohrabi was one of the few doctors offering this advanced approach for all aspects of foot and ankle surgery. This specialized technique involves very small incisions, which means minimal scarring, minimal pain, and a much quicker recovery time compared to traditional methods. Dr. Sohrabi is one of a select number of surgeons in the country skilled in performing this procedure. During their consultation, Dr. Sohrabi explained how the procedure would not only provide a faster recovery but also minimize downtime, perfectly aligning with Christi’s busy lifestyle.

“The pain from surgery was gone within just a few days, and I was able to return to daily life much faster than I expected,” Christi said.

Christi appreciated Dr. Sohrabi’s attentive care. Dr. Sohrabi’s thoroughness and attention to detail ensured a smooth recovery, and Christi felt confident that her needs were understood and prioritized.

Now, Christi enjoys hiking and walking with her family without discomfort. She’s excited to return to Glacier National Park to explore the trails, something she couldn’t do before due to foot pain. Christi shares her positive experience with others, recommending Dr. Sohrabi’s minimally invasive bunion surgery to anyone with foot pain.

Her advice to others considering bunion surgery is simple: “Don’t hesitate. The minimally invasive surgery made a world of difference for me, and I’m so grateful for Dr. Sohrabi’s expertise. The recovery is quick, and you’ll be back to your normal activities before you know it.”
