Bunion Master

About Bunion Master

Bunion Master is the practice of Dr. Michael Tagge, DPM, a double board-certified foot surgeon in Chicago who focuses on minimally invasive forefoot reconstruction. Dr. Tagge developed the PRISM Reconstruction System, a proprietary approach combining precise micro-incision correction with structured recovery and biologic support, rather than the large incisions, screws, and general anesthesia used in traditional bunion surgery. The practice treats bunions, bunionettes, hammertoes, neuromas, forefoot pain and deformity, and bone spurs, along with cosmetic foot concerns, and also offers sports-related regenerative foot medicine. Procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia in an office-based setting, with many patients able to bear weight the same day and return to regular footwear within days. The practice, also known as the Chicago Forefoot Nerve Institute, serves patients throughout Chicago and the North Shore, including those traveling from outside Illinois for consultation, and operates on a boutique, out-of-network basis rather than through standard insurance plans.
