A PERSONAL INVITATION

Come build this with me.

THE WALL

Your hands may know the surgical technique. Your schedule still shows zero bone cases.

The weekend course felt great. You did the burr work. You asked the sharp questions. You drove home already planning your first bunion case.

Then the week started. Clinic. Staff. Insurance. And that case never got booked.

Here's the pattern I've watched for years. Soft tissue comes quickly. Tenotomies, tendon releases, confidence builds. Then comes the first osseous case. The lesser metatarsal osteotomy. The bunion. The hammertoe correction. Real bone work on your own patient. And the hesitation, the doubt, the second-guessing show up.

It's not a knowledge gap. It's the weight of it being real. Your patient. Your name. Your outcome. And no one to talk it through the night before.

Skill was never the thing standing in the way. Doing it alone was.

THE REFRAME

Skill was only ever half of it. The other half is who's in the room with you.

A hospital surgeon with a hard case walks down the hall and grabs a colleague. Private practice MIS has no hallway. You close the office door and it's you, the X-ray, and the decision.

What closes that gap isn't more talent or more training. It's guidance. Mentorship. A room of surgeons in your corner, so you're never carrying the case alone.

MIFAS Elite is that room. An elite group of MIS surgeons who've already crossed the wall you're staring at, guiding you, rooting for you, and making sure you never operate alone.

YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS ALONE

WHAT YOU'RE JOINING

A MIS cadaver course teaches the technique. The MIFAS Elite room empowers your practice.

Inside the OR during minimally invasive foot surgery 01 · THE COURSE

See every move from inside the OR.

The MIFAS Accelerator: 8 modules covering all MIS core foundations, from soft tissue and hammertoes to lesser metatarsals, bunions, and bandaging. Filmed on real patients with my voiceover on every decision, and yours from day one.

A Thursday MIFAS Elite call, a wall of surgeons on Zoom 02 · THE COACHING

Never make the call alone.

Every Thursday you're live with me and a room of MIS surgeons. Grand rounds on steroids. Bring your case, get unstuck, walk into your OR knowing exactly what to do. Every call recorded.

A room of MIS surgeons together at a MIFAS session 03 · THE COMMUNITY, THE HEART

The room that keeps you in the game.

A room safe enough for complications, not just wins. The cases that didn't go as planned are where the real learning lives. This is the part most programs don't have, and the reason our surgeons don't stall out and quit.

The Course removes "I don't know how." The Coaching removes "I'm not ready." The Community makes sure you never quit.

EVERY THURSDAY · RECORDED

Grand rounds on steroids.

You bring the case you're not sure about. We put it on the table, live. A room of MIS surgeons who've seen it a hundred ways, working it through with you. You leave knowing exactly what to do.

Can't make Thursday? Every call is recorded. Drop in, ask, and go.

CASE 0847 / 2000+

9 PM before a tricky case? Ask the library.

Search 2,000+ real cases from me and our members. See exactly how it was handled: the approach, the fixation call, the post-op course. A second opinion on demand, any hour of the night.

THE VAULT

Everything I use, ready when you are.

Day one, you get the full MIFAS Accelerator: all 8 modules covering every MIS core foundation. Plus 12 years of my op notes, preop to post-op, and the billing protocols we use, so you document it right and get paid right from your first case.

Then it keeps opening up the longer you stay. The Master Class Vault at 3 months. Advanced coursework at 6 months. And at 12 months, the crown jewels: Dr. Stephen Isham's MIS demonstration footage and sessions from our International MIFAS conference.

THE BENCH

First in line for the cadaver table.

I run four to five small-group cadaver labs a year, including one advanced lab and the International MIFAS conference, kept deliberately small so every hand gets guided. Most seats are gone from the inside before the public ever sees a price.

Members get first right of refusal on every seat, plus $500 to $1,000+ off member pricing.

WHY I BUILT THIS

I almost quit surgery to open a Korean BBQ restaurant.

It was 2014. I was overworked and underpaid as a foot and ankle surgeon. Patient overload, insurance headaches, a wife and two kids at home, and a real fear I'd let them down. I was that close to walking away.

Then, at a conference, I saw the tiny portal MIFAS surgeons were using to do incredible percutaneous work. I couldn't ignore what was clearly the future of foot surgery.

I poured my life into it. I traveled to my surgical mentors over 40 times in 2 years, learning beside MIS pioneer Dr. Stephen Isham. I invested over $185,000 learning how to build a practice around it.

Today my practice is hybrid-concierge. About 3.5 days a week, 8 to 10 patients a day, no insurance-network hassle. And most of my time goes to one thing: making sure other surgeons don't stall the way so many do.

Since then I've spent my years teaching this. At the International MIFAS conference I host, in cadaver labs where I guide every hand, and every Thursday with the surgeons in this room. More than 1,200 of them since 2017.

Because no surgeon should have to carry a bone case alone. I did, for years. That's the one thing I want to change for you.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU JOIN

You're in the room by Thursday.

  1. 01

    Take your founding seat.

    Join at $197/mo or $1,970/yr, locked for as long as you stay. A couple of clicks through checkout and you're in.

  2. 02

    Get instant access.

    The Thursday calls, the private community, the 2,000+ case library, and the full 8-module Accelerator are yours the moment you join.

  3. 03

    Show up Thursday.

    Bring a real case, get unstuck live, and operate your next one with a room of MIS surgeons behind you.

Do the work, or you don't pay.

It's a monthly membership, so here's the deal, straight up. Show up to your first two Thursday calls. Start the first modules. Bring one real case to the room. If you do that in your first 14 days and don't believe this room will change how you practice MIS, reach out and we'll refund you 100%. No nagging, no hassle.

100 CHAIRS

Why $197? Because a room is built by the first people in it.

MIFAS Elite didn't start as a membership. It started as a few surgeons who were done operating alone and decided to protect each other instead.

Today there are 68 of us. Now we're opening the room wider, on purpose. Not to sell seats. To build something worth protecting: colleagues who support each other, who answer at 9 PM before a hard case, who make sure no one in this room ever stalls out or quits alone.

That's what the founding rate is for. Every founder locks in $197 for as long as they stay. When the room fills to 100, seat 101 pays $297. No countdown. No fake deadline. Just the last of the founding chairs.

Read this before you join.

ELITE IS FOR YOU IF

  • You're a foot and ankle surgeon in private practice, doing MIS or serious about starting.
  • You've trained somewhere. With me, or elsewhere. And the bone cases still aren't getting booked.
  • You want a standing room of surgeons behind every case, not one more course to watch alone.
  • You can show up, or catch the recording, most weeks.

ELITE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

  • You want certification, cadaver reps, and the board pathway only. That's the MIS Intensive, and Elite comes inside it. Start there instead.
  • You're looking for a magic bullet with no cases brought and no questions asked.
  • You need a contract to stay committed. There isn't one here.

Wondering about the full certification pathway? Ask about the MIS Intensive. Elite membership is included in it.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions surgeons ask.

How much time does this take each week?

One Thursday call, about an hour, live or recorded. Modules are at your own pace. Most members spend 1 to 2 hours a week and put the rest into booked cases.

When are the calls? What if I can't make Thursdays?

Every Thursday. Every call is recorded and searchable in the community. Join live when you can, ask your question, and go. Or watch later. The room works around your schedule.

I trained somewhere else. Will this still work for me?

Yes. The room doesn't check where you learned the technique. Bring your cases, use the library, get backup. The Accelerator modules are there when you want to sharpen fundamentals.

What do I get on day one, and what unlocks later?

Everything you need to start is day one: the full 8-module MIFAS Accelerator, the Thursday live calls and recordings, the community, the 2,000+ case library, and 12 years of op notes and billing protocols. Deeper layers open up the longer you stay: the Master Class Vault at 3 months, advanced coursework at 6 months, and Dr. Stephen Isham's MIS demonstration footage plus our International MIFAS conference sessions at 12 months. Annual members get all of it on day one, no waiting.

Is $197 really locked? What's the catch?

Locked for as long as you stay a member, even after seat 101 pays $297. Leave and rejoin later, and you pay the rate at that time. That's the whole mechanic. No countdown, no fine print.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, right from your account. No contract, no call to sit through, no retention script. You keep everything you learned.

I'm brand new to MIS. Is this too advanced?

No. The Accelerator starts at the foundations: soft tissue, hammertoes, lesser metatarsals, bunions, bandaging and splinting. And you'll watch live as experienced members work through advanced cases. You start exactly where you are. The room meets you there.

What's the difference between Elite and the MIS Intensive?

Elite is the weekly room: mentorship, community, the library, the Accelerator curriculum. The MIS Intensive is the full certification pathway, with small-group cadaver labs and the ABMSP board track, and it includes Elite membership. If you want the complete pathway, start with Intensive. If you want the room, start here.

Your next MIS bone case shouldn't be a solo act.

Let us help you finally implement and perform MIS cases with confidence. 100 founding chairs at $197, locked for as long as you stay. Then the rate is $297.
