I am very grateful to Dr. Derby because he has completely changed my quality of life. I came to him with a previous bad bunion surgery. I had had pain and swollen feet for a year. He explained to me that he could correct it through arthrodesis. 4 months after surgery, my foot is magnificent, added to the fact that he is an exceptional doctor with attention, patience, and knowledge. the best option in Tampa Bay
