YOU are the only foot doctor on KZbin who consistently leaves the patients' feet clean and PRETTY and lubricated after treatment.

[@grumpyoldgirl8582]

Hello from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 You never categorise your patients. Everyone is unique, so may have different issues with similar problems. You ask pertinent questions& this ultimately helps each person. You also never patronise. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RoseSOak]

As a daughter of a man with diabetes; my father (left us in 2016) had a wonderful man like you. THANK YOU for the care and concern you have for your clients.

[@allisondecaille8495]

You explained the process of arthritis better than any RHUEMATOLOGIST I've been to, thanks. I know when it's going to rain as well, my grandmother was famous for being a meteorologist. Great job again as usual

[@karentucker2161]

My mom is the same way

[@berthagreen1620]

Another happy man , feet are ready for dancing. I just love the way you are with your patients.

[@brianmurphy2695]

I must say, that your drill with the water does a excellent job on your patients. Compared to other podiatrists videos I've watched this is a far superior tool. I guess the guy using it to has some bearing on the end result. Great work Dr. Jefferson!

[@user-vd1gx6nf2r]

I so enjoy how you are so thorough. You make sure that when your patient leaves your office everything is the way it should be. Thank you for caring

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

My goodness, this poor man certainly has a lot going on healthwise. He sounds like such a lovely upbeat person, may God send him healing and many blessings for his future.

[@shirleybezuidenhout2724]

Another interesting video dr Jefferson thanks for sharing. Your diabetes patients are so fortunate to have you as their podiatrist. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@skyedancer3106]

Dr. Jefferson, thank you for being so understanding, dedicated and committed to All of your patients. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤

[@maryleeswope3353]

Thank you for your excellent teaching about the shoe program...it will certainly raise awareness and help many.❤

[@Espistar]

You are sincerely the best podiatrist on KZbin. I love how your channel has grown. Your humanity is so inspiring. ❤

[@VABmo]

Dr. Jefferson, I wish you were in the midwest! Thank you for showing the brutal truth, in a caring and compassionate way.

[@clarkgrayhame1250]

This was a great video. I really enjoyed listening to your conversation about jazz music, that was cool. As someone who has gone through kidney failure, I truly wish this man the best. Thanks Dr Jefferson.

[@cynthiaWalker5226]

They look better and he feels better! Another great job Doc.!

[@warrenrichjr1949]

I'm glad that you give you patients information on things to help them on items they may not know from their insurance

[@JaniceKrinsky]

Love Jeff Lorber! Loved Roy Hargrove too. So sad when he passed. Got to see him several times at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. Love Terrence Blanchard, too. Love that you're a jazz trumpeter in addition to being a wonderful man who helps people live a better life.

[@judymcdougall]

Somehow I knew you were a Jazz Trumpet player. Wish I lived. Closer to hear you play. Also because I have a toenail that bothers me. You Rock Dr J. Love you to the moon ❤

[@blancaesquer7051]

Thank you Dr Jefferson for sharing your videos with your viewers , since I started watching them since 2 months ago , i have been learning how to take care of my feet , and 3 weeks ago I went to be treated by a Foot doctor here where I live , in North Carolina ! Thank you so much for genuinely caring and considerate with your patients , i can tell that you really care for people ! God bless you and your family !

[@thoughtsofawindowgirl2112]

Kevin, I have watched a lot of the podiatrist on KZbin for these past few months. One in Florida, one in Virginia and 1 in Texas besides your podcasts. I have to say that I think you are the best of all of the podiatrist I have watched. Your tableside manner, your approach towards your patients, your thoroughness and your sharing of knowledge with your patients as well as your audience. I’m so impressed. You always make sure you go above and beyond for each patients’ comfort and you are always so polite and kind. No podiatry podcast has used the water tool you have nor do they massage Shea Butter on each client. Congrats. I wish you lived closer to my city. Take care Kevin

[@gloriajackson2021]

I've always heard about the weather and arthritis but never really knew the reason. I also didn't know about the diabetic shoe program. You're a wealth of information Doctor J!!!

[@yvonneplant9434]

Makes perfect sense. I know some science and I have never thought about what was just said. Dr Jefferson is so kind to these people. 🎉

[@kimkeever3692]

Interesting video and conversation!

[@sheraii]

Another satisfied patient! Dr. Jefferson you are definitely “the Best of the Best!” I so appreciate you Sir‼️ ❤

[@patriciapeoples5667]

Congratulations. Thank you for the video and many more videos. The patient is talking to Dr. Kevin J about his feet issues. The patient is a diabetic. Dr. Kevin J asked the patient when was the last time he seen his diabetes doctor? He gave a answer which he was keeping up with. The patient is tolerating the procedure treatment. The patient is very happy and excited. The patient knows that he is in good hands. The patient will have healthy feet again. Everyone is greatly appreciated. Love always, Patricia ❤🎉😊Great job!

[@kathybechtol5889]

Dr. Jefferson, you are Amazing! I love your videos and the way you treat your patients. May you and your family stay healthy and happy.

[@margaretdillinger5090]

The fronts affect migraines and the joints. One thing I’ve seen,as I’ve had both knees replaced, is the metal can get cold. 😊❤ I really feel for this gentleman because he’s been through so much.

[@Wlf5953]

Another happy patient! You do good work Doc,& a Jazz trumpet player too. Excellent. Cheers

[@tangiessubtleluxuries]

I really enjoyed this patient visit! The patient was so lively. I didn't know you were a jazz trumpet player. Wow!

[@kimberlycaraway740]

Another amazing video and we learn even more about you! You're not only an accomplished doctor but an accomplished musician as well! Your GIFTS are TRUE blessings Dr. J ❤!!

I understand the barometric changes from my own body. I have severe hyper mobility and when it’s going to rain or the humidity rises my joints start screaming at me, more than usual. Especially my feet!

[@deniseroe5891]

As a diabetic, I love my New Balance. The only athletic shoes I wear. I couldn’t find the care line you mentioned on Amazon. Thank you for all you do for your patients. Where we live, finding diabetic foot care is impossible.

[@shariperkins3584]

Love your content. You seem like an old school , caring doctor and there aren’t many of those left. Thank you sir. 🙏🏾

[@brendajohnson6910]

Okay Dr Jefferson, now that you've shared you are a musician, you need to share a clip/yt short with all of your yt subscribers!

[@baylielin8979]

Dr Jefferson, you are multi talented and very humble. Trumpet jazz player! How amazing and the pic was very nice. You make all your patients feel special. God Bless❤

[@kianhu]

I love the way you educate your patients in a way they understand ❤

[@Budgetingtothebank]

I love how you care for your clients ❤️💕🌸

[@catherineflores4875]

Thank you so much!!! I've learned so much about diabetes and foot care. Really wish I had a Dr like you close!!

[@watchensee]

At first feeling sorry for this man but then realizing that he's fortunate that he still has all of his toes. I hope he continues to do good.

[@lynetteyoung3743]

Dr. Jefferson, you are full of surprises. Not only do you listen to jazz, you play it too! Did you play the music from your earlier videos? Dr. Jazz. As always another excellent video and this time we all learned something new about you!

[@sheilarowan8664]

You are truly one of a kind a truly one of a kind A really truly wonderful gentleman ❤❤❤

[@jetta.silence6356]

Wow one pair of shoes. They should allow 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of house shoes,slides or sandals. I think its important to switch your shoes up ( especially men) so they dont wear down as fast and become useless.But also ortho sandals i mean its nice to let your feet breathe. Also from a style standpoint. You got casual dress shoes ,sneakers and summer sandals. 3 pair for health,occasions, comfort etc. They may not need a new pair the following year!.

[@lomgshorts3]

I find these toe pictures rather hard to believe as my toes are still pink and healthy. I have been diabetic for over 27 Years, and not always completely controlled. Do not say I am lucky, but reasonably concentrated on care.

[@yvonneplant9434]

I'm so lucky. I still have pretty good looking feet. I'm way healthier than many of these patients. I'm almost 75. I can still cut/clip my own toenails, for instance.

[@jackiesmerk9611]

Barometric pressure can also cause migraines

[@hopeshort8653]

Great Job Doctor ❤

Hey I have a question does Eczema affect your toenails because I’ve got it on the bottom of one of my feet and my toenails basically look like the bottom of my foot.

I don't know how you perform these miracles on peoples toenails. Very soon, i will no longer be able to watch your videos because i won't have the money to watch them until i get paid later in June. I'll just do without because i can't stand to have commercial interpretations. So until then, i'll just do without my favorite videos. 😢

[@robinhallett-yc3hw]

Pretty boring video, not up to the DC Doc's usually interesting videos. Too much time spent watching the drumel drill and it is so loud you can't hear what the patient is saying.

[@jodiencarlisle4781]

Thank you for sharing your work! With your help, I will be going to my subpar🫢 (compared to YOU) podiatrist tomorrow, with a little insight to what he will be talking about. Despite me asking questions, his explanations and bedside manner are NOTHING like yours!😄
