Meet Dr. Scott Hanauer

When it comes to foot and ankle pain, few things are more frustrating (and painful) than bunions. At Garden State Pain & Orthopedics, patients have access to excellent patient care with a focus on compassion, trust, and expertise. Dr. Scott Hanauer, DPM, is one of New Jersey’s top specialists in foot and ankle care. Known for his compassionate approach and cutting-edge techniques, Dr. Hanauer is helping patients find relief through advanced, minimally invasive bunion surgery.

Dr. Hanauer is trained in sports-related injuries, including ankle arthroscopy, ankle ligament repair and reconstruction, fracture repair, achilles tendonitis, tears, as well as tendon injury and cartilage restoration surgery. His expertise in foot and ankle surgery is unparalleled.

He also has experience in minimally invasive forefoot surgery, including bunion correction, hammertoe deformity, and arthritis, helping patients to find bunion pain relief through minimally invasive bunion removal surgery.

“Here at Garden State Pain & Orthopedics, we offer minimally invasive bunion surgery as well as corrective hammer toe surgery to straighten out the big toe and the lesser toes,” Dr. Hanauer shared. “We do this through several small percutaneous or portal incisions. Through these, we’re able to shift the bone in the foot so it is straight and aligned.” His minimally invasive approach even allows patients to walk right after surgery in a surgical boot.

Recovery is different for everyone, but most patients are in a walking boot for the first two weeks, followed by a surgical shoe for another two. After a thorough assessment, Dr. Hanauer helps streamline patient recovery with a patient-first mindset.
