A bunion is a condition that results from a boney protrudence out the side of the inner foot, which causes the great toe to deviate towards the second toe (see x-ray gallery). They are commonly caused by genetics and certain foot types that can result in pain/redness, arthritis / stiff joint, interference in shoes, discomfort in the ball of the foot and / or an unsightly appearance.

Dr Rock did my foot surgery on 1/14/22. He has an incredible team at Surgery Center (friendly & professional staff). Dr Rock is very attentive & he has the best bedside manner. This is the second time I've gone to Dr Rock (he performed surgery on my right bunion 17 years ago & I haven't had any issues. I've recommended him to 4 of my friends & they all speak very highly of him & the care he gives his patients. If you ever need bunion surgery, I highly recommend you seek his medical attention. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Rock is truly sent from God! A few days before my surgery Dr. Rock texted me to ensure all was well, of course me being the last minute person that I am, I hadn't gotten my medical. Dr Rock immediately arranged an appointment with his affiliates to ensure I received a thorough clearance. The process went seamlessly On surgery day, I was welcomed by the most professional, warm and caring staff.
The initial walk in when having surgery determines everything regarding your nerves. The warm welcome really helped ::) thank you! Dr. Rock arrived, again reminding me of the procedure ensuring I'd be ok going home ( to PA). We talked and laughed until the anesthesia kicked in, before you know it the surgery was finished. Dr Rock refused to let me leave until every bit of normal circulation to my feet occurred.
The next day he called and texted, the day after that he call and texted. The third day he texted and I Mentioned I was going to church (lol) Dr. Rock gave strict orders for me to stay put! I love the Lord so that was hard but I listened to my God sent. Doctor. I'm one week post op after having. Three hammer toes corrected and I'm doing well. I'm forever grateful for Dr.
Rock and his amazing work ethic and morals. Listen great doctors aren't easy to come by, if your looking for a doctor that truly cares and operates with optimal moral standards please Dr. Rock is the guy! God bless you Dr. Rock your exceptional!

I was watching a TV advertisement for a Podiatrist as I am residing in Atlanta now. Dr. Gregg Rock came to mind from almost 30 years ago.i was probably one of his newest clients in the 90's. I had two bunionectomies performed. Today, you can barely see the scar and my feet look and feel great! Thanks Dr. Rock!

This was my first surgery and I would not have gone through with it with any other doctor. It was Dr. Rock or nothing! I had heard that he was amazing from two friends and set up a consultation. During the initial consultation he showed me x-rays of my bunions (on both feet) and explained what my options would be. There was never any pressure from him to proceed with surgery but once he explained that bunions get worse over time, I knew that I didn't have a non-surgical option that made sense for me.
The operations took place two weeks apart just about one year ago. I didn't experience ANY pain after the operations. I had confidence because knew I was in great hands and Dr. Rock checked on me via text very regularly. I went to the beach yesterday with my Husband and we both marveled at my bunion-free feet with tiny scars that we had trouble finding. I'm so glad that I did this!

I was recommended to Dr. Rock by a girlfriend who had both bunions removed. It was something I had been wanting to do for so many years, and the moment I walked into his office I knew I was in good hands. This was my first surgery, and like the other reviews I have read, I felt no pressure whatsoever to do anything during our consultation or at any time during our communication. Dr.
Rock gave me straight and specific information. He was kind, patient, considerate, competent, he was an utter professional, not a salesperson. He is extremely easy to communicate with and gave me the full story about what to expect, the risks, and the benefits of the procedure. I decided to do both bunions at once, and in full disclosure, I was so happy with the lead-up, the day of, and the days following the surgery, I almost wish they would grow back so I could do it all over again!
The nurses, the anesthesiologist, the surgery center; EVERYONE I encountered were professional and wonderfully kind. Thank you Dr. Rock for helping me to become a more confident, comfortable, and happier woman!

On the day of surgery I showed up having had breakfast, although I was called twice and reminded not to eat. Dr Rock explained my opinions & because of his nursing staff's support, I decide to have him operate my bunion with local anesthesia. I did not feel any pain during or after the procedure. Not even a Tylenol was needed. It's been six weeks and I'm walking well and driving. Thank you Dr Rock, for your patience, professionalism and availability.

Dr. Rock is nothing short of amazing. He's changed my life so much, I'm now comfortable wearing open toe shoes. Dr Rock was helpful from the time I called inquiring about the procedure. I got both my 2nd toe hammer toes done & had no complications. Dr. Rock explained in detail the risks and benefits. He helped me understand what the underlying issue was and how it could be fixed.
Post surgery he texts to check up on me, AMAZING! I didn't have any complications and little swelling. I can't explain how thankful I am to him and how much I appreciate his courtesy, wisdom, empathy and all around generosity. I recommend him 100%, I am so lucky to have chosen him as my surgeon.

Dr Rock performed hammer toe surgery for me 1.5 years ago. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Rock. He truly cares, has deep compassion for his patients.he treats all patients like family. He listens well, provides positive feedback and is kind, loving and provides the utmost level of professionalism. My partner Janet had referred me to Dr.
Rock after she had issues on BOTH feet/bunions & severe hammer toes. Dr. Rock is an artist: the end result with Janet: post surgery it looked as though she never had surgery-toes and feet were suddenly transformed into perfect normalcy! Dr Rock's staff-beyond amazing! We love you Edie! Dr Rock is by far the best Dr. I have seen in my 67 years on this earth.
You are making a mistake if you do not go with Dr. Rock. from the minute I stepped into his office to my very last follow-up visit, Dr Rock was AWESOME. could not be more happier! See for yourself. all reviews:all top stars. Love you Dr Rock! You Rock! John M

I personally had a wonderful experience getting both my feet done for bunion/hammertoe surgery by Dr. Rock. Walking in as young patient, not knowing exactly what to ask- Dr. Rock made sure to educate and list all possible risks, pros, cons, and all possible information in between before getting my consent to do the surgeries. Not only that, but he also made sure that my lifestyle during the weeks of recovery would be fitting for the recovery time before agreeing to do it. (For example: if I planned on going on vacation/if my job required me to run around.) Then on the day of the surgery the office provided a free car service to and from the surgery center.
Besides that, Dr. Rock makes himself as available as he can for any possible questions/situations that might arise over the course of your healing process. Having that sort of communication ensured that as I healed I felt confident that things were healing correctly. I've been to many different doctors in my life, and never received such thought out care and attention from a facility. Would strongly recommend.

I would Highly recommend Dr Gregg Rock to have your bunions and hammertoes done. I am an OR nurse who stands 12 hr shifts at a time and even in my Dansko clogs my feet always hurt. He was referred to me by several other of our nurses at our hospital who have all had great results and experiences. I had both my feet done 2 weeks apart this past January 2018 and never took any pain meds, walked immediately with no crutches and was back to light jogging in just 6 weeks.
His techniques appear to be less invasive than most I have personally seen here in the OR and even does a cosmetic skin closure with no stitches to be removed. Dr Rock spends so much time in the initial consultation explaining the anatomy and procedures with all the risks and gave me realistic expectations. Dr Rock does not push surgery and he even put me off for some time because of what I do for a living and put fear into me for a lengthy recovery with possibility of complications that may significantly delay my return to work and activities.
He texted me for days immediately following both surgeries and made himself available anytime via phone, , texts and emails with immediate replies each and every time. Dr Rock made me feel like I was his only patient with his incredible compassion. I Highly recommend anyone to consult with Dr Gregg Rock and he also gladly accepted our insurance coverage including the beautiful surgery center on 5 th avenue, where the surgery center staff was amazing, but I am a nurse so I may be a bit biased.
