Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Nunez and staff were all very informative and helpful.

Dr. Nunez is extremely talented in his profession.
Dr Nunez is a gifted foot and ankle surgeon and performed a very difficult bunion surgery on my foot. No pins, screws, or plates were used. His talent and training are first rate. I had four toes, knuckles, tendons and ligaments restructured and repaired. Including my messy big toe. I walked (carefully) out of the surgery in a boot three hours later. Dr. Nunez used local anesthesia (blocks) in the surgical area. I really appreciated not having general anesthesia. I just reached the three month mark and just played in a four-round 18 hole golf tournament. I am walking my dog. Yes, I am still careful and have minimal swelling and some stiffness, but nothing ice won’t help. I am very grateful!

I would definitely recommend!
My foot was crushed in a car accident 32 yrs ago. It was disfigured and I had issues with it for years. Dr. Nunez reconstructed it and made my foot very similar to how my foot was before my accident. I have no issues now with pain or anything else that has to do with my foot. I would definitely recommend Dr. Nunez for any foot issues.

Dr. Nunez is Wonderful!
I had been dealing with painful fasciitis and bone spur on my left foot for 6 months. I tried everything my Podiatrist recommended to fix it on my own, to no avail! It had become debilitating!I went to Dr. Nunez for a consult. I had been skeptical about his low invasive approach, under a local and asked for a 'sign' that I should have him fix my issue. Upon walking in for my consult, 3 post-op patients were in the waiting room raving about the surgeries and their results. I took this as my 'sign' and decided to proceed. The surgery was a breeze, I walked out in very little pain. I think I took 2 pain pills immediately after, as I wasn't sure what to expect when the numbing agent wore off. However, I don't think I even needed those. Recovery was a uneventful and speedy. I was mowing the yard after 2 weeks post-op! This man gave me my life back and I am very grateful. I highly recommend his approach and wouldn't hesitate to go back, if needed!

Healed
Dr Nunez and all his staff share the same excellence and compassion in all they do. I feel valued and respected as if I am the most important patient there but that’s how they interact with everyone I’ve seen. Dr Nunez’ approach to minimally invasive surgery made for a positive experience and my results are nothing short of amazing! I am without pain when I walk and my toes are straightened and look normal. I am so very thankful to God for him and his staff.

Save your money
If I could put zero stars I would. Dr. Nunez is nothing more than talk and his work speaks for himself. If you notice in all his after photos of his clients he holds their foot together for the after picture, but once he lets go that’s how your foot will really look after it’s done healing. He left me with uglier feet than before and according to him it’s because I didn’t tape my toes correctly. If anyone out there is looking to do toe shortening you must have pins after, just as when you break a bone you need a cast. Tape isn’t going to do a thing. He also cut one of my toes too close to the joint and it doesn’t have any give and the bone is protruding out of the side. He had me doing toe exercises and I told him that this toe wasn’t bending AT ALL. He then proceeded to try to bend it and almost broke it. The bunions are exactly the same and my big toes are still crooked.-continued on Google reviews

100 percent!!
I have had several procedures done with Dr. Nunes. He along with his staff have always been very wonderful, seeing to all my needs throughout the whole procedure. I won't consider going to any other Doctor or facility other than CDA Foot & Ankle. I'm no longer in pain and not embarrassed to have my feet be seen!

Great experience
Dr Nunez and his staff are just the best. He is very polite and approachable. Explaining everything that he will be doing in detail. Did not have to wait very long for my first appointment with him. Never had to wait in waiting room for follow up appointment very long either. His assistants and office staff are very helpful,pleasant and courteous.

I had a toe shortening procedure less than two months ago. I am so happy with my result , my foot looks perfect now. The recovery was easier than I expected, I was hiking after two weeks of surgery and I did not need any painkillers on the second day after surgery. I was impressed of how knowledgeable Dr Nunez was and how he made my toe the length that I wanted. My toe is still swollen and I’m working to make it more flexible as it was before the surgery. If I knew all this before my surgery I would have not a single doubt to do it .

I highly recommend Dr. Nunez. He straightened my crooked toes non invasively and I was able to walk out post op. I didn't want a rod through my toes and he cut out some bone and cartilage and managed to keep the toes where he placed them with tape and tension on the tape.

I have had two occasions to meet with Dr. Nunez. The first time was an evaluation for me. He was very thourough and explained what the procedures would entail carefully. The second time I brought a disabled lady who was born with CP 68 years before. He discovered one leg was an inch shorter than the other. He referred us to a prosthetic company who will see if they will be able to help her. He was incredibly kind and gentle with her. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone!
