I live in Birmingham and had a very good foot and ankle surgeon here but my foot was not getting better after 3 surgeries. My physician friend had foot issues and was very empathetic to my frustrations of not getting better. Her surgeon had retired and suggested Dr. Anderson.
Dr. Anderson is a very grounded surgeon and very respected across the country. He see a lot of professional athletes (Derek Jeter, Cam Newton to name a couple). You would never know he is who he is if you chose to consult with him. Google Robert Anderson - he is always listed as one of the top. And I can attest, after 2 surgeries with him, he actually is!
Dr. Anderson did a study that was published on the STAR ankle replacement in 2009. When I saw him for my 1st subtalar fusion, I was told that ankle replacements were advancing but they were not where hips and knees are at the present time. He told me that an ankle replacement might be a good option in the future because advancements were heading that way. He suggested I have the subtalar fusion and if ankle replacements advanced, then I could pursue that route. Dr. Anderson is someone who has actually worked and researched ankle replacements.
Who did your STAR replacement? I think that is exciting that you've had a good result.
