EVERY TIME I WATCH ANY GOOD FOOT DR., I ALWAYS THINK OF THE ONE EPISODE OF "MARTIN" WHEN HE'S DOING A LADY'S FOOT. WITH PRUNNING SHEARS, JACKHAMMER, BIG SANDER, AND GOGGLES! BUT DOC, I ENJOY WATCHING YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GOOD HEART! THANK you!❤

[@ssoozee]

I love the DC Foot Doctor. Nothing gets past him! I always wonder how deep he knows to go when he scrapes down a callus and not cut into the new skin. He knows what he’s doing!

[@Jenura01]

ssoozee I wonder the same thing!

[@williamcarter1993]

@@Jenura01 I'm also a foot doctor. Sometimes you can feel it when you press their foot, about how thick it is. Sometimes it's really discolored and you can note the delineation. Sometimes you cut people by accident and you apologize and fix it up. That dremel sanding tool he used near the end is good because you can then debride superficially and smooth it with the dremel

[@darrenpickard6518]

Damn DC foot doctor really enjoying how amazing you are at helping people and how nice you are to.

[@EllBeeCUSoon]

Just that little bit Dr. J has done already makes his foot look brand new. I use doctor-prescribed Urea Cream 40% on my left foot since it’s been jacked up for a long time now. It happened while I was in the military and hasn’t been the same since.

[@OvnicentAparatus]

Out of all the foot doctors on youtube you are the one with better camera angles. I love ur videos . And you always do great work I feel good for these people you treat.

[@jimfitz1432]

After watching quite a few of these from you. I’ve come to the conclusion you have quite the steady and talented hand. Watching you debris these folks with a scalpel and steady hand only. I’m very impressed with the touch, accuracy, and speed you have. I do the same thing on my feet at home. Only I cut the shit out of my foot occasionally with the open scalpel. Much respect sir you make an extremely difficult task look fairly easy and benign. It couldn’t be further from that.

[@KimberleySanchez]

Dr. Jefferson really seems to provide a high level of care. He's masterful with the blade. And I like how he makes sure his patients are educated on proper foot health and answers patient questions thoroughly.

[@Auroragemz]

So knowledgeable and professional. Love how you take the time to educate all your patients.

[@thisgirlrocks6469]

Awesome 👍 He seems so happy to get his feet taken care of. Thanks Doc 👍😊

I wish DC Foot Doctor was in my insurance network. I would definitely go to him!!

[@chelseasummers2365]

Your patients are so blessed to have such a caring and attentive doctor.

[@bobbibuttons8730]

Makes you wonder if you are wearing the right size. I’ve definitely gone up about a size in the past few years. Those calluses are extreme. I just bet his feet feel so much better though. Your manner never ceases to impress. Never change

[@myuhdidas]

Wow doc. Wow, wow, wow. You never cease to amaze us. That transformation is incredible, great job ❤ and thank you.

[@SundaysChild1966]

woohoo .. those calluses are coming off like potato chips! Great job doc .. can't wait for the next one.

[@hopeshort8653]

Doctor you’re so patient with his feet’s 🥺

[@julierobertson9397]

This case dramtically shows how maltreatment (wrong shoes, socks, etc) can change a callus meant for protection into a problem. I really enjoy your videos; they're are always educational.

[@k.alicepritchett4638]

Dr. Jefferson, you are such a talented and compassionate physician. Thank you for your videos! I am sure your patients appreciate how you speak with them about foot care.

[@fairyberryfizz6802]

In general, men do not take care of their feet. When I went to a wound care clinic, everyone was a man with their leg bandaged, with the exception of another woman and me. I was disappointed I didn't get to see shea butter application in this video. It's such a nice finish! :-)

[@DCFootDoctor]

Stay tuned for Part 2.

[@blxgrl5934]

I love ur vids I waited until my kids left to enjoy this vid. They think I'm crazy 4 watching but it's so interesting. I've learned sooo much about feet. I wish u had a office in kcmo I'd be there in a heartbeat. Hopefully u can get ur own show on A&E. ❤

[@sfoster7027]

I loved the patient’s question: you mean you can really stop a callus from coming? That’s me too! It takes work to care for our bodies as we grow older. Your caring comes through DC Foot Dr.!👍🦶🏻🦶🏻👨🏽‍⚕️❤️🦶🏼🦶🏼

[@MRiGOThim]

“What you been doing for these heels?!” “Nothing...” 🙄 clearly lol thanks for helping him out Doc🥰

[@vintaqe_vibez5978]

@Natalie Schlesinger so, let's say the patient is doing exactly what you do at home, why couldn't he just tell the Dr that? At least he's letting the Dr know he's trying.

[@tangiepm]

Natalie Schlesinger thanks for that. I get a bit irritated when people make negative comments about people based on the few minutes on the video. Definitely not enough info nor is judgement even necessary.

[@priscillarobinson7740]

Wow, that looks like a brand new heal. It looks so soft and even. You know it must feel 100% better than before. I was wondering how thick calluses on the foot in general can get. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this gentleman’s feet. I told my Podiatrist about you the last time I saw her and she said she’ll watch. I know she’ll be as impressed as I am. She talks to me like you do to your patients right down to what I’m wearing on my feet and their size and brand. You’re awesome!!! 👣

I love the callus removal videos, especially, unfortunately, when you find an open wound under the skin… It’s just so interesting! I don’t care for the ingrown toenail surgeries, they’re just kind of boring.

[@julier1616]

It’s so exciting to see healthy pink skin underneath all that callous. Excellent job with the blade. Do not try this at home people! Patient education the whole time. So important. Thanks Doc! 🦶❤️🇨🇦

[@ancientsgate]

My career was in dental hygiene, so I remember first-hand the frustration of going over home care with some patients, having them say yes, I'll do that, no, I won't do that anymore, etc, and then a few months later, we were back at square one. So I hear you doing your best to educate your patients and teach them proper foot care, but boy, it must get to you sometimes when you have people who don't know to wear socks, wear the right size shoes, stick some moisturizing cream on their feet every day. Kudos to you, Doc, keep trying! I know you will.

[@jbox8450]

Dr Jefferson, question! I'm a paraplegic going on 30 yes...I think I introduced myself before. Anyways I have to watch and take care of my feet from no feeling. When I buy shoes I buy wide and are least one siZe to big so I don't get any types of sores. It has worked well for me and have never had any feet issues. Does that sound like a good rule of thumb for me to follow since it has worked so well? Also when lotion feet should I not do in between toes? That can lead to cracks right? Thought I saw a video that said no lotion in between toes is why I ask. Is lotion or creme better or are they the same thing? Also I've never had an ingrown toenail!!!! Ya I work hard to take care of my feet. Good video and thanks 👣

[@taviasgrannieable]

Great job on his heels. Could he use kersal cream(unsure of sp) otc for his dry feet? That works w/o steroids. Would like a f/u on this patient if possible. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

How do you know how much to takeoff? And more so, how do you know when to stop before it hurts the patient?

[@mohannad-media9989]

We need to take care of our bodies in order to avoid this. Drink enough water. Keep yourself dehydrated. Shower every day. Soak your feets with warm salt water at least once a week, then use a sandpaper to take the dead skin off of your feet. Remember, avoiding damages is better than treating them.

Tete Alvarez de la Reguera yeah it can especially if it’s the only thing you can walk in besides sneakers. The friction of the heel of the shoe with your foot heel can aggravate it and make your feet hurt really badly for just a short period of walking in them

[@jacijune]

I'm shocked by how many people on here are often wearing the wrong size shoes and mess up their feet like that. If I try on shoes and they're not comfortable I always ask for the next size up. I will not be limping around with calluses just to say I have size ten feet. My skin is too soft. I normally wear a size 10 for open toe shoes but when it comes to enclosed shoes I usually ask for 10 1/2 or 11. I have long toes and most enclosed shoes are cut in such a way that my toes get squeezed so I size up.

I really just want to know what I need to do for a person like myself they have diabetes how to take care of my feet I don't have corns or calluses or ingrowing toenails I just would like to know what to do

[@myuhdidas]

Keep the nails cut properly, keep them clean, with diabetes id say check them regularly for any cuts or bruises that you may not feel which can very quickly turn into an infection and cause you to lose limbs. Keep them moisturized and have them checked by a professional like Dr J when you go for your regular check up.

[@bettylavergne6200]

Beverly Gainey I’m a nurse. For your feet - Wear properly fitting shoes. Don’t go barefoot, except in your bathroom and shower. Inspect your feet daily. Lotion your feet. Be careful clipping your toenails. Lotion..lotion...lotion. Use Cetaphil lotion, that’s the best in my opinion....it doesn’t have perfumes.

[@fairyberryfizz6802]

I am a diabetic. I use Neutrogena sesame oil on my feet and legs. I also use lotion. I never put anything between my toes to reduce the risk of fungal infection. I also use big clippers from Three Swords, made in Soligen, Germany. These are much better than inferior instruments made in China. The German instruments are made with high grade steel with more carbon. My small kit was $10 from Amazon.
