Minimally Invasive Surgery
At Orange Sky Podiatry, minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery is one of our signature services because it reflects how Dr. Cynthia believes care should feel: precise, thoughtful, and centered around your life. With smaller incisions, less disruption to soft tissue, and a more efficient recovery process for appropriate cases, this approach can help patients correct structural problems while getting back to daily life with less downtime than traditional open procedures.
A Modern Approach to Foot & Ankle Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery allows certain foot and ankle conditions to be treated through small incisions using specialized techniques designed to restore alignment, improve function, and support long-term mobility. For many patients, this means a safer, more comfortable surgical experience with less tissue trauma, less swelling, and a smoother recovery pathway than they may expect from traditional surgery.
At Orange Sky Podiatry, we want this service to be one of the first things patients know about our practice. It represents our commitment to offering advanced treatment options in a way that feels approachable, empowering, and aligned with whole-person care.
Bunion Correction
Bunions can make walking, exercising, and even finding comfortable shoes frustrating. Minimally invasive bunion correction is designed to improve alignment with smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissues, helping patients move toward relief with a more efficient recovery process when appropriate.
Hammertoe Correction
Hammertoes can cause pressure, rubbing, pain, and difficulty in shoes. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Cynthia can address structural deformity while focusing on comfort, function, and a smoother return to activity.
Structural Foot Realignment
Some foot conditions are not just about pain in one spot — they stem from the way the foot is functioning as a whole. Minimally invasive procedures can help correct certain structural issues while supporting better mechanics, improved balance, and healthier long-term movement.
Surgical Planning with a Functional Focus
Every patient is different, and not every foot problem needs surgery. Dr. Cynthia carefully evaluates your symptoms, lifestyle, biomechanics, and goals to determine whether a minimally invasive option is appropriate and how to create a treatment plan that supports the best possible outcome.

Dr. Cynthia's Correa-Cedeño’s Approach
Dr. Cynthia combines advanced training with an approachable, patient-first style that helps people feel informed instead of intimidated. She believes surgical care should be honest, collaborative, and grounded in trust, so patients understand both the “why” behind treatment and the practical steps that come next.
This approach is especially important for patients who may feel nervous about procedures, pain, or recovery. At Orange Sky Podiatry, the goal is not simply to perform surgery — it is to help people feel supported before, during, and after treatment so they can move forward with confidence
