Advanced Care Dr. Berenter Is Known For
Techniques he has developed and refined to make treatment more effective and recovery easier.
Bunions
A structural deformity that shifts the big toe joint out of alignment. Dr. Berenter's No-Hardware Bunionectomy uses a small hidden incision and a dissolving fixation screw — often allowing patients to walk immediately, with no permanent hardware left behind.

Hammertoe
A contracture that bends a toe abnormally at the joint, leading to pain, rubbing, and corns from shoe pressure. Dr. Berenter offers advanced surgical and non-surgical options to relieve pain and straighten the toe.

Morton's Neuroma
An irritated, thickened nerve in the ball of the foot — sharp, burning pain often described as walking on a pebble. Dr. Berenter uses ultrasound-guided dehydrated sterile alcohol injections, an approach he has refined for more than 20 years to relieve pain without surgery.
