It sound like you are looking for someone who will limit his/her treatment possibilities only to what you will accept rather than an actual expert. Other than compliance with standards of practice, there are no guarantees in medicine. But assuming that one's diagnosis is correct, and that one does in fact suffer from a Morton's neuroma, for him/her to exclude the consideration of traditional surgery in treating it, in my view, would certainly be to limit the possibilities for success. A Morton's neuroma is one of the most common problems seen by podiatrists, and should be well handled by most any Board Certified podiatrist.
