[@dreamwalker3698]

If only more Doctors took the same care and compassion. I love that you take it a step further and make them cosmetically nice before leaving. That itself shows that you are indeed a Doctor who is sincerely passionate about their profession and truly care for your patient.

[@maxineluchey3819]

Dream Walker Amen to that

[@GlitterSparkly]

You are a very competent physician. Your treatment includes kindness and compassion, and I especially appreciate how you educate your patients. Thanks for sharing your work and techniques with us - very enjoyable.

[@elm57]

Everyone, please be kind. You never know someone’s situation. Dr. Jefferson sets the example. Let’s follow his lead. Thank you!

[@samuelcooke502]

Doc is the man!! What a great disposition!!

[@rudy6222]

I’m glad I read this. I was fixing to say something ugly

[@erins4183]

Incredibly well said and I could not agree more.

[@ms.munchkin8264]

Dr. Jefferson, I admire how you inform your patients on proper foot care without being condescending, yet still keeping it firm and professional. It is truly a rare quality.

[@bettybert9819]

Dr. Jefferson has such a smooth, calming voice, and a friendly, relaxing manner about himself. So helpful to relax the patient.

[@priscillarobinson7740]

This young man was truly in need of your service. Half of the information you gave him I think he already knew but either didn’t have the time or thought maybe it would go away on it’s own. A simple soak in a plastic dish pan with warm soapy water does the trick. I put a couple of drops of Ivory body wash into the water and use a soft nail brush and gently rub my nails, toes and underneath of my feet. I do this everyday without fail. My Podiatrist once told me that my feet were my only mode of transportation, to take care of them or I wouldn’t be going anywhere. Hopefully your patient does everything you suggested. He sounded like he would. Time will tell. As usual Dr. Jefferson, you covered all the bases. You’re the best 👣

[@margaretrichardson6938]

This young man is soooooo BLESSED to have you as his doctor! Your channel is AWESOME! I wish you were here in Vicksburg, Mississippi! FANTASTIC VIDEO! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lesliesvaping8794]

I just find it amazing someone who is able bodied would walk around with the pain he must of had. Your work is amazing. I learn so much watching you.

[@ruthm3813]

Those were some amazing calluses and super challenging toenails you were working on here Dr. Jefferson.. Your patient must surely feel so much benefit after his visit and all the great work you did. He will be walking on air. Thank you.

[@AM-ce3tb]

The entire Asian community are totally impressed with your work. We just wished you are here in Rochester, New York.God bless, Doc.

[@Chrisbackgroovey]

Dr. Jefferson, you are such a beautiful person. I can see how passionate you are for your patents. I think if you did my feet, I’d be in heaven on earth! Sending you hugs and love from Ontario, 🇨🇦 xx 😘

[@bluevol1976]

I pay so much more attention to caring for my feet since I started watching these types of videos. Thanks for showing us these procedures.

[@Tito_Viera]

Doc, you're not only an skilled professional, you ALSO make feel your patients as human beings. That must be the standard for all medical professionals, the work is with a person, not a machine who is broken at certain level. Greetings from Chile!!

[@tmbltmbltmbl7737]

I like how he speaks with such respect to his patient. No baby talk, or anything like that

[@elizabethwatson71]

I had a hospice nurse give a family member the BEST advice. She couldn’t reach her feet, so the nurse had us buy one of the “back scrub brush” it needed to be the brush, we got a soft bristle and find the longest handle possible and a little inexpensive hair dryer. When she showers use the long handle brush to scrub the feet and toes, and when she got out she uses the hair dryer to dry her feet, then apply her moisturiser. No more large scale skin plaque, and the underside of the nail stays clean.

[@yummymedic6675]

I never knew epsom salt dried our bodies out! Appreciate you educating us!! I find the work you do to be so very relaxing (like ASMR). Thank you for all you do!!

[@Earthgal063]

Because of you I went out and bought two large shea butters one for upstairs n downstairs. My feet are like a baby’s bottom now.

[@julier1616]

Meadow Lark I can’t find any here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Any idea where I could look? Where did you find Shea Butter Cream?

[@RufPup]

Meadow Lark where did you buy it? I should do this

[@francisjohnson665]

I too bought shea buttee ..maybe Dr. Jefferson should be a spokesperson for the product.😉😉

[@nikki4701]

So did I! One next to the bed and the other near my recliner. Lol

[@monicamaur3323]

What kind did you get?

[@56pinksunbunnyable]

Wow, what a transformation. He must of walked out of there feeling like he was walking on clouds.

[@cynthiabroyles4890]

I might make a trip to see this Dr to get a consult. He's great telling patients what they need to do without judgement. Maybe that attitude will get them to take better care of themselves

[@erins4183]

I just wish ALL Medical Professionals were as patient, kind and invested as you are to their patients. Sending you hugs from Australia and I sincerely hope you and your loved ones are safe during these challenging times.

[@simonelauren9881]

That was good to know information about epsom salt.

[@mocamilmason3384]

Yes indeed, and the vinegar too.

[@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

Simone Lauren EPSOM SALT AND AVC TREATED MY FEET WELL. NO FUNGUS, CORNS OR CALLUSES. I SOAK AND SCRUB MY FEET EVERY OTHER DAY. IT DOES WONDERS.

[@minnie7700]

Your patient has the voice of a young man but those do not appear to be the feet of a young man. Another great job Dr J! I'll bet his feet feel a whole lot better. God bless you and your patients.

[@TFDwriting]

I agree. I'm thinking this young man has a tough job and is on his feet a lot. He sounds smart, too, and understood what the doc was saying. I think he'll do a lot better from now on.

[@jazzy5389]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@tequilasmith5510]

Mare S 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lmbo I’m at work looking at this and read your comment and bust out laughing 😂

[@pamelalalaable]

Minnie S I thought, at first sight, that this was a youngish man and I still do. I think it’s the condition of his feet that makes us think he’s a much older man.

[@snichols8563]

The transformation is amazing. Dr you are a true artist in your profession.

[@wytchyprepper3370]

A good daily pumice and some coconut oil with lavender Essential oil mixed in would do wonders for this gentleman. Eventually all the dead skin would be sloughed off and the lavender is antifungal and antibacterial. The coconut would give great moisturizing and has its own antifungal properties! Wonderful job on this challenging case!

[@havfaith56]

Dr Jefferson is so gentle and kind natured. Love listening to his voice. I have learned so much from these videos. Thank you.

[@pam164]

Another great video off you. Didn't know Epsom salts dried your skin thanks for that tip.

[@AZHITW]

I'm 70 and thank goodness I'm still limber enough to take care of my own feet, clippers/nippers, a diamond file, a pumice stone, a Ped-Egg, lots of soap and water, and lotion and I'm good to go. 👣👌🏽☺

[@francisjohnson665]

I'm the same , I also visit a pediatrics , because of diabetes. I have bad arthritis in one foot , my feet and nails look great . I'm 72 .

[@vegasrenie]

AZHITW - I’m 68 and the same. Wearing comfortable shoes all the time helps, too.

[@brigidscaldron]

Dr Kevin - you’ve transformed his feet! Such a great thing!

[@jeand2219]

“You have some build up under your nails”. Doctor, you are too nice.

[@NightCalls001]

No, he was just right. A very kind man.

[@DroppinJewelzz]

I find myself holding my breath while I’m watching your videos but I keep coming back for more 😂

[@jennaolbermann7663]

I liked hearing the patient say how good his feet felt at the end! Well done Dr.!

[@bigfinewomanful]

After watching Dr Jefferson and “The Last Dance” (re: Michael Jordan) this week, i find that too many men (and women) are not wearing proper cushion insoles in shoes AND sneakers ; they also are lacking a good long handled stiff scrub brush for their feet when they are showering. Jordan played his last game at MSG in a pair of air Jordans with the original design. And make. He said by the half his feet were so painful and so beat up that his socks were bloody. Like Dr. Jefferson says we got to take care of our feet 🦶🏿

[@bevmcmullan-kungl8089]

After watching your videos I'm truly amazed at the amount of people who don't take care of their feet. I do understand if they are elderly but being diabetic one has to be very careful.

[@RONJAE212003]

Wow Dr you did an amazing job on his feet

[@05cacaiplay]

Whoa, super calluses and tough toenails indeed. I am just in awe watching this video. Thank You for posting.

[@janeayers6628]

That gentleman must have felt wonderful after your treatment. His feet look so good, and you’re the only doctor I’ve ever seen clear around the cuticle, and make those nails look nice. Great job, thank you

[@NunuAru]

I'm always looking out for your videos. I love how you fix your pts problem spots, while also educating them to correct bad habits to prevent future issues....great video!

[@Givulinovich]

Dr, you did such a great job of restoring his feet. I bet that leads to him taking better care of himself.

[@TheYAyaLady]

If the feet were soaked would it be easier to clip nails and remove calluses?

[@ernesemcqueen3300]

Doctor you go the extra mile, wish I lived there.😊🏆❤👀

[@blackspider1405]

The Doc with all the answers. Nothing more comforting than that.

[@louiZiana-Gurl]

Loved this video and your treatment of all your patients thank you Dr J!😍

[@donnacook6579]

Doctor I love your videos you really transform your patients feet. And your bedside manner is tops!!!! Keep making these videos so so informative also. God bless😇💙👍

[@rawfedk9]

Good job. However what is that small grown just above his ankle? Xx

[@denaadams6818]

Sorinda Bridgewater I thought it might be a callus too but I guess not.

[@LAwigTalk]

Sorinda Bridgewater it's toe #11

[@ambiava123]

I was quite curious myself

[@ancientsgate]

My husband has one of those and his dermatologist called it a "barnacle"-- it's like a benign scabby growth of some kind. It's an ugly thing, but because his doc said it doesn't have to be removed, my husband lets it sit there.

[@evanvorous]

Sorinda Bridgewater Thats what I want to know. I was thinking, maybe an ulcer of some sort.

[@jennaolbermann7663]

I have learned so much from these videos. I’m often surprised to see how many people are walking around with such discomfort or pain in their feet! We often don’t think about how important healthy feet and good shoes are.

[@wanttruth3876]

I went to a Foot Dr. years ago for calluses on my baby toes. I mean...the man hurt me so bad, that I've been keeping them sanded or filed down myself. Toe pain is extreme for me. It looks like you get a lot done without causing pain. Which for me is magnificent.

[@Familylawgroup]

What is that round dark knob or growth on the top of his right foot near the leg? It looks like it can peel off like a bandage or an unusual callus.

[@LetsBeCivilShallWe]

Benicia Livorsi - It looks to be a mole or a keloid scar from some prior injury there.

[@joanhagemier784]

It looks kind of like a wart.

[@basbleupeaunoire]

It looks like a keloid.

[@marlzz8126]

This is one my favorite drs to watch of these. A lot of videos are too hard to stomach . It’s disgusting what they deal with

[@Tiger-Lilly]

One of the reasons you are a favorite of mine to watch is because you have all the best tools and you give feet the best makeovers!

[@doriscox2734]

Your hands have got to be tired at the end of day.

[@vickiwhelan7537]

so patient as it was obvious this man wasn't doing much to take care of his feet. i have stopped using upsom salt footbath now as i have dry feet. thank you. put moisteriser on at night and a pair of socks over to keep the moisteriser against my feet for as long as possible.

[@makelifesimplewithsandi]

I have trouble with dry skin and feet. I’ve been soaking nightly with olive oil in warm water. Really helps. Then I put lotion and socks.

[@ms.dekatur7082]

Doc you do an amazing job!!!!! Poor guy his feet had to give him a lot of pain...We need a follow up on those feet.

[@anitawatson8203]

I'm always impressed with the method and instruments with which you take care of feet. The extra time you take to file down nails with different files to precisely leave nails short and clean;even the shaving and filing of the bottom of feet, care between toes, questions about health and information you give your patients about how their overall health affects their feet, the use of your sister's peppermint sugar scrub and shea butter. I watch several podiatric videos and you are by far the most detailed, informative and educational, which also holds patients accountable for their health(it's a partnership; patient and doctor working together for better health).

[@barbara1127]

One thing I appreciate about Dr. Jefferson is the fact that he seems so concerned about his patients. It takes time to deal with their problems. Just so refreshing to see someone who care, thanks I wish I lived in your area, I would definitely come to see you.

[@HeyMsVal]

Did he tap dance out of your office?😂😂😂😂

[@jackieelizabethward8845]

You are a wonderful podiatrist. You treat your patients and I love the fact that you do your best to educate them on the do's and don'ts based on their individual

[@pathallquist3156]

I love what you do for people and the information you give them regarding home care for their feet. Probably some of the folks forget what you say before they even leave your office. You could give them a sheet of paper with all these marvelous ideas so they can incorporate foot care in their daily lives, instead of their only thinking about their feet once every 3, 6, or 12 months. You are an angel to them❤️

[@ftwtexasstephens9629]

Amazing transformation. Thanks for the info about Epsom salt.

[@clayfeathers]

Scrub your feet with soup and water and layer on the creams, or lotions. Go up to your ankle with creams and lotions. Thank you for sharing Dr. You are amazing!

[@ellenlankford4813]

I bet his feet felt incredible when he left there. You’re so precise in getting out those pesky deep corns. Thank you!

[@booboowright3984]

I just love Dr. Jefferson he really cares for his patients and school them at tbe same time

[@jagobanichi]

Another splendid result due to your impressive skill and tender care of your patient's body and spirit. No small detail, for example, smoothing the cuticles, was neglected. I always enjoy the extended massage. Thank you.

[@trishapearson1943]

You are such a kind and caring man and your voice is very calming. Thank you for your videos .

[@fayepinkerton1550]

Young man with old man's feet...how fortunate you are to hv this Dr. help you!

[@christinesolano4248]

The doctor is so kind to his patients wish he was in new jersey

[@cheri1079]

What burr did you use in this procedure? I didnt know a person can have so many calluses on one foot and still be ambulatory.

[@yoncbwl2738]

Dr. Jefferson, I really like how you teach your patients better foot care. I learn right along with them. Thank you.

[@carmenvazquez6698]

Dr. Jefferson, you're a very good person. I see how you treat your patience with love, patience and respect. God bless you 🙏.

[@jmtimmons]

Hi Dr. Jefferson. Another great video. I just think you are such a great doctor with how you care for your patients and how you treat them. You're nice, gentle, kind, and there's no judgement no matter what their feet look like. I find it absolutely fascinating to watch you work.

[@elizabethlowe8731]

I love how you always go above & beyond for your patients.

[@inked_up_mama9622]

Doc, you are so enjoyable to watch. You are so patient and kind to all of your patients ❤️

[@dianneschwamberger6096]

I love watching you, you are so kind to everyone that you treat.

[@Ful-OGold]

I’m glad you turned the volume down for us when using the dremmel. I get ASMR from watching your videos and it’s very annoying when it comes to the sanding down part. It often jump scares me and causes me anxiety. So thanks for this one.

[@patrickwisniewski8652]

Wow, that Right Big Toenail could be used as Captain America’s Shield!

[@hopefaithandlove6236]

😭

[@tluvsfrogsfroggy1652]

Now this is the type of 'toe' videos I love. Thanks DC Doc.

[@ednaciangiulli4407]

Love your manners and how well u take care of your patients. Your work is incredible. Thank you.

[@mocamilmason3384]

Just had an AHAAA moment with the Epsom salt, talk about learning something new everyday. I'm glad I clicked.

[@tiwanajohnson8432]

You are the best doctor. The care & attention to detail you give is top notch...bless your heart.....

[@alaineblaylock557]

Those poor feet haven’t seen any kind of treatment at home !

[@oi812NM]

Dr. This was an awesome video. I loved how you got down to work and told him about his toe nails and the corns with the seeds. The little toe I have one in the same place. I didn’t realize the Epsom salts shouldn’t be used because they were a drying agent. Thank you for letting me and your patient know. Thank for being so kind to your patients.

[@ichiquita1]

If you don't remove the core of the calluses or corns, will they grow back? Also, this guy sounds so young, too young to have all these problems. I hope he heals well.

[@norahwarren8852]

I really liked this treatment session, the sanding with those two round burrs was excellent. The patient's feet must have felt so good, he could've gone out dancing with his sweetheart. Speaking of sweethearts, you're quite a sweetheart yourself Dr. Jefferson 😊

[@judyntxchapman9794]

You're so sweet and gentle! You take wonderful care of your patients. Bless you!

[@pa2kasa]

Learned something new about Epsom salt. Thanks doc.

[@berniceholt3566]

It is so sad to see patients with so much buildup on their feet. Not having anyone to help them, can't bend to take care of them. You are a blessing to have the care and skill along with knowledge to help them.

[@suzettesamuels2018]

Great job Dr Jefferson.

[@jonijoni1145]

Wow! Amazing before and after! Your caring and dedication is made obvious by your attention to detail! You take the time to do such thorough work. Your patients are fortunate to have found you!

[@letaterrell8138]

What kind of shoes must he be wearing to cause so many calluses ?

[@patremagilbert8787]

Great work. Foot docs are a must no one can replace u you all save lives.

[@renneajohnson421]

You do a wonderful job

[@candanceharrison3564]

@DC Foot Doctor Dr.Jefferson, if people with dry skin issues aren't supposed to be using salts or vinegars on our feet to soften and remove dead skin, then what should we be using? Do you know of a foot soak product line that's free of the things dry skin folks shouldn't be soaking with? Or maybe a diy soak "recipe" using safer ingredients?

[@cwillis92]

I know your patients appreciate the fact you take the time to educate them on how to manage these issues as well as how to avoid them all together. I appreciate how you don't come off as being judgemental torwards them, but you do let them know how serious these issues are. My family has multiple diabetics & my dad suffers from gout & my grandma has a fungus issue. I need to take her to see a doctor about cutting or removing her nails because she can't & we don't have the proper nail cutter. A few years ago he had a wound on his left foot and decided not to go to a doctor for 2-3 months. By the time he went they couldn't save his big toe and they had to amputate it. Granted it's his own fault for not seeing a doctor when he should have, but I think more patients do better when your clear about how quickly things can go south when you do see them & how it's not worth to avoid doctors because of the embarrassment they may have!! Not only do you help your personal patients but you help other patients & families understand how important foot care is. You've probably saved thousands of people from losing toes or their whole foot because of your videos!!

[@ancientsgate]

The old folks often don't believe in running to the doctor "for every little thing" (this is the way they'd put it). They did not grow up in the day of preventive medicine, so... unless something is rotting off them or bleeding on the floor or something, they just ignore it as long as they can. I agree about Dr.Jefferson-- even a little education can go a long, long way to make a difference.

[@Hoosier_Boy]

I don't think I've seen anyone with that many troubling points, Those calluses were huge and how the one grew straight out had to be difficult to live with. As usual, beautiful work Doctor.

[@mykahturner2162]

Those little silicone toe sleeves are fantastic! Amazon has them.

[@arogosinsky]

Bravo, the difference you made is amazing

[@staceO27]

Sir, we need more physicians like you.

[@ancientsgate]

I agree. Physicians of all kinds who remember that at least part of their jobs is to educate their patients and their patients' caregivers. And to leave their patients better off after their appointments than they were when they came in.

[@JDowell77]

I don't understand why I find this so interesting, but I do. U and Toe Bro are my 2 feet ppl I watch! No shade to this guy, and I'm not judging, just curious on how his feet got to b this bad when he has the ability to care for them. 🤔 Love ur channel tho! Edit: Ok I just got to the end of the video and he has a woman and had those feet?? Oh no baby girl....how are u under the covers with those feet?🤢 Lol

[@I_am_enigma53]

That's funny lol😁

[@MsMagiere]

Maybe he sleeps with socks on

[@Lovingmeandmine899]

Gurl! Great minds think alike!!! I was thinking/wondering the same 😂🤣 😅

[@simplyxunique687]

[@OnewaytoGod]

I feel you Jennifer....my babe always get full pedicure by me...dont want no cuts on my legs nor holes in my bed linen...ijs...lol

[@deborahrose5369]

Really enjoy your videos and instruction. You’ve got the best way of being so genuine and kind to your patients. Thank you!

[@nowisconvenient]

Dr DC I am so drawn to your meticulous work. You are so caring as well 💜
