It comes as two patients chase million dollar compensation payouts after Dr Bours was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the Health Care Complaints Commission in October . Dr Paul Bours was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the Health Care Complaints Commission in October . Dr Bours is facing two lawsuits in the District and Supreme court from patients who visited him for routine procedures between 2009 and 2011 . The complaints commission took Dr Bours to the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal over his care and treatment of four patients . One patient , a 65-year-old woman , was told she could wear high heels to her daughter 's wedding two months after surgery to remove a minor bunion on her left big toe . But she still was n't able to wear heels two years later due to severe swelling and pain . The commission was told the woman claimed she thought she was only having surgery to her big toe given their conversations about it being a minor surgery . Yet after suffering such severe pain , Dr Bours told the woman he had broken 20 bones in her foot to straighten her toes to give her the 'perfect foot ' . The woman now has two different size feet , a badly distorted big toenail and she sees a psychiatrist every three months . A 24-year-old woman had a consultation with Dr Bours about toe fungus , but ended up agreeing to surgery to remove minor bunions . The commission heard Dr Bours showed the woman pictures of deformed feet as an indication of what could happen to her when she got older . She now has problems walking , can no longer run distances and ca n't wear high heels . The exact price of the Hewlett Street home - which has private beach access , a heated pool and panoramic views of the ocean - has not been disclosed by real estate agents . The Bronte property has panoramic ocean views and private access to a path leading directly to the beach . A man who worked as a gardener told the commission he had surgery on his toes to relieve pressure on his joints . His toe ended up being shorter as a result of the procedure - a fact he says he was n't told prior to surgery . The man also reported pins used to fuse his joints started to come out of the bone and into flesh by about half a centimetre after surgery . The tribunal found Dr Bours failed to give a realistic view of risks and complications of surgeries to his patients . The property has a cutom builty kitchen and the living areas opens out to a lush garden with heated pool . The tri level is one of the only private residences with direct access to a garden path leading down to the Bronte Park and the beach .
