A first-time patient comes for treatment of her severe fungal toenails. She has put off getting care for many years because she was too embarrassed to show anyone her feet, including doctors. Her sister is already a patient of mine and tried for years to convince her to come see me. She finally relented after getting tired of the condition of her feet.

Besides the fact that he knows what he’s talking about, he has top notch bedside manner, compassion and empathy. Great qualities every doctor should have.

[@carolwine-bucklew2076]

I appreciate that you don’t talk down to your patients. Also, how you calmly try to educate them about their condition. Great job.❤

[@ClaraSunshine]

Good bed side manners make hudge difference for all professionals. This feet Doctor is excellent, work well and he is respectful.

[@dianeclark1135]

The nails look chopped, and The corners/sides of the great toes look ingrown, need to be cleaned out???

[@kathyb5740]

Best physician ever !!!!

[@suzanneporter2936]

It's a shame so many physicians are not as kind and thorough as you with their patients. Thank you for caring.

[@charojimenezgarcia4282]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jessicap3263]

This lady is such a sweetheart. So glad she got over her embarrassment and came in for treatment! I just want to give her a hug.

[@dianahopper4055]

Our world needs more doctor’s like you. Blessings.

[@Givulinovich]

You really should consider having a DC Foot Dr soundtrack album. Edited. I love the way you go after all the debris. Because you’re not only kind to their feet, but their sense of dignity as well. Having cleaner feet rather than just shorter nails, will always be a relief.

[@shineteacher]

Dr Jefferson’s compassion, acceptance, and education of/for his patients is exceptional. I admire this man. Having worked many elderly people, including my Mom, I understand the need for compassion, and appreciate the willingness to educate in a kind and nonjudgmental way.

[@rosesthorns99]

Never puts his patients down. Always tells them he will fix them up! At the end, when he is massaging their freshly cared-for feet, I actually feel that massage myself! 💗

[@christinehigginbottham9994]

By far one of the most thorough, and compassionate foot doctors I have come across. God bless you for taking the extra time to love on these people, and make their lives better. I cannot imagine how much more comfortable it is to wear shoes when you’re finished.

[@debbiebenjamin7911]

You were a godsend for this poor woman. You did a fabulous job on her toes! What a difference and I’ll bet that she felt like a million bucks after this. You’re so nice and caring. Fantastic job, doctor!

[@martinasoto8750]

WOW THIS DOCTOR IS WHAT I CALL A MASTER. HE'S SO GOOD TO THE PATIENTS. GOD BLESS HIM

[@maryanneprice9139]

In all of the podiatrist videos I watch I have to say I enjoyed your water sanding the most!! You did an impeccable job cleaning up these toes!! Fantastic job 👍

[@ilsevanderbij7179]

I love a Black doctor on youtube showing his skills and his excellent bedside manner. We need more people like you to watch! My feet aren't problematic, but if they end up needing treatment, I know where to go now.

[@chelseaharmon9580]

I think we have all been embarrassed to go to the doctor for treatment. The information that you give your patients is valuable, we all have something going on that we’re not comfortable with but the more understanding and empathetic doctors are the more patients will come in and provide the information to get the correct treatment. Nice video.

[@Watkins106]

I hate when people think they have to suffer because they are embarrassed. You are a professional and you only care about getting them back on the right path. I am so glad she came to see you.

[@michelleseveney9113]

Sweet lady, I hate that she’s so embarrassed but she’s going to feel so much better!

[@luv2120]

So much compassion, empathy, and concern that Dr. J shows to his patients is remarkable! I wish this type of behavior by medically licensed professionals was displayed in every area of the medical field. Great Job Dr. J!!!! 👏

[@janstanfield5162]

Dr J and The Toe Bro are two of my favourites. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽❤️🇨🇦🥰

[@margo6716]

Amen!!!

[@harpermygirl8675]

If you like too much his kindest, go and ask him to scrap your toenails on dry. Let's see how that goes.

[@RevDrGCP]

Me too

[@cherylhines7218]

We need more people like you!! You can make people feel better about themselves and they are so happy when you get done!! You have restored my faith in doctors!! I have been lucky enough to have a couple doctors that I absolutely love and I need one like you for my feet!!

[@vickieowens8946]

Dr Jefferson I love your treatment of the whole patient. Without treating her views on being embarrassed about her feet, she may never have returned. Great job and thank you!

[@citygirldeb54]

YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE THERE IS NOONE LIKE THIS DC DOC HES THE BEST ! ❤️🙏😊 seriously there are 3 dislikes ? Why ?? We respect and trust this doc 100%

[@abutts02]

He’s like one of the most educational doctors on KZbin

[@marimayn716]

How many of us take better care of our feet after watching this awesome foot doctor??! 🤚🏾🤚🏾🤚🏾🤚🏾

[@nexinc5243]

I actually have some fungus under a few of my toes and watching this Channel helps me on what to do. However, I recently sucked it up with the pain, I cut off those few toenails completely and scrapped off the fungus. Hurt like all hell! Lol but I did it 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@shannonodell2031]

@@nexinc5243 they don't see for

[@shirleypedersen7406]

I know I sure do most definitely!

[@berkbuns]

That had to have felt wonderful after your treatment of her feet! She’s ready for dancing. Thank you for being such a caring, conscientious Doctor.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Dementia care when properly administered by caregivers (medical or family), should always be about 'checking the feet. Not merely for diabetics, but for anyone who has limited mobility, or any condition that impacts full movement, where the person cannot trim his/her nails, or see to their calluses, etc. When we home cared my mother, then in her 90's with mixed dementia, I always partnered it up with getting her 'fresh, groovy socks.." I made sure they were brightly colored, and the whole socks changing led to looking after her feet. With her dementia, she was still able to have fun with it, and it almost became a kind of game. Meantime, she wound up, with foot care from me...

[@twharton1963]

I love how compassionate you are to your patients. You not only care about their feet issues you ask about their other health issues.

[@lisapons-labelle2602]

I have no idea how she was walking with feet like that, it must be such a relief for her! I hope she keeps up with her future appointments.

[@TheDivaReport]

Right I hate that people have to suffer for so long

[@peacefulpeds5623]

Some people don't for many reasons keep up with dental or foot preventive care.

[@megs8498]

It could be anything, but how in god's name did the wee soul get shoes on, that baffled me.

[@countrystrong3848]

I'm not sure why you choose to use a cuticle drill bit instead of a cone bit. It would help you do a much better job when filing the nails. You seem to legitimately want to help your patients which is very nice to see.

[@PopsieLouisiana59]

It is great to here a doctor being respectful to elderly patients. Hate it when doctors call the elders by their first names. Have corrected more than one and they must say yes, ma'am and yes sir to them. Thank you, Dr. J.

[@juliagoolia72]

I always think when you ask them if anything hurts and they don’t really say yes or no, they are just so used to everything being uncomfortable that they can’t differentiate between what’s normal and not. If you or I suddenly woke up tomorrow with toes like that we’d say they hurt. These individuals have endured for so long that they don’t even remember a time they weren’t uncomfortable

[@debbiebenjamin7911]

So true!

[@carlalapish8116]

I agree. It’s sad. I hope this lady is feeling better. 💕

[@ellentinney5554]

I really do love how you encourage your patients that everything is going to be ok

[@sydneyrolle2743]

I wish you could run trainings on how to speak and treat patients especially our older population. I feel the need to escort my mother to all her medical appointments because folks have been so rude in the past. Thank you for your presence

[@jacobsladderpa]

It’s always a Master Class in bedside manner from a highly skilled clinician!

[@serafinos7119]

Indeed

[@Hudson1910]

Yep

[@paulamason626]

Dr, Jefferson, I love watching your videos. You take time with patients and treat them as a person not just feet. You also take the time to make their feet as nice as possible. Most address the problem but don't really go any further. And thank you for the time you put in volunteering with the homeless. You treat them like they are a person and they will always remember that. ❣❣❤❤

[@nelsonartmnelsonartn908]

You are so caring, nonjudgmental, and such a safe place for patients. I wish your practice was closer to me.

[@nancygibson4380]

You're the only podiatrist, I watch to the end. You do total foot care. I wish my doctor did what you do. It's in and out and that's it. Maybe 10 minutes. Thank God I take good care of my feet myself. I'm 72 and can still touch my toes when I bend over. Haha. Hugs.

[@carlajohnson9369]

As a medical professional, I highly respect this Doc for his bedside and thorough patient interview and assessment

[@tammiebraggs1821]

He's such a kind doctor the world needs more like him . God bless him

[@theresalally1620]

Dr.Defines the word professional in every way❤️👌🏻🙌🏼

[@patriciamiles8534]

You are so kind to your patients and I like how you make her feel better and not to be embarrassed

[@darniataylor7749]

I'm so glad the patient overcame their embarrassment and came in for treatment.

[@dawnadriana1764]

You treat your patients with such respect, and uphold their dignity. I have terrible feet from wearing smaller shoes because I could never find my size when I was a young girl. So I know about feeling ashamed and hiding your feet, not wanting anyone to see them.

[@kkormanik]

So happy she came in and got care for her feet. She’s going to feel so much better, one less thing to remove from her depression. ♥️😊

[@karenutah8286]

Three cheers for the sister that sent this sweet lady to the best doctor for toesies!

Her feet look SO MUCH BETTER🙏🏿

[@markschwieterman2296]

That poor lady I'm glad she finally decided too come see some one

[@Pamela-nm7ex]

I love how articulate you are and you try to make the nail look as normal as possible. None of the other ones I watch take the time to do this. 👏👏👏

[@danahardin4647]

You are such a good man and an example to how ALL doctors should treat their patients: with compassion, kindness, love and a listening ear and heart

[@julier1616]

I love when the patient got excited looking at her toes while you were buffing them down and she exclaimed “I can see my toes again!” Lol 😂❤️🦶🙌

[@mattmatt9426]

I really like this Doctor, very kind and compassionate. He provides excellent foot care to his patients.

[@carolbussey3717]

He so kind to all his clients we need more doctors like him he really take care of you God bless you and your family

[@gailoursler2750]

Doc thank you for the video tag line! More people need to not be ashamed about having problems taking care of your feet or any other medical problem!

Dr, you are a gem. You made this lady feel comfortable. You have such a nice manner. Hope she appreciates what you have done for her and continues to visit you and get this cleared up. 💎🦋

[@emarieoes]

Dr. J. You not only addressed her feet, you inquired about her health, because one issue leads to another. With the Pandemic, a lot of us did not do proper care of our bodies.

[@sstevens5190]

You by far are the kindest most compassionate foot Dr!! Blessings

[@Wendy-cj5yz]

It has to feel heavenly to have her feet sorted. I have to cut my toenails every two weeks. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable & sore they were. Bravo for being brave enough to visiting the foot doctor.

[@pauladavies6705]

I can't stress enough that we need to take care of our elderly and their needs I am so glad that she finally listened to her sister

[@Chahlie]

So many elderly absolutely refuse. I hope to God I don't end up like that. My mother hasn't washed in years, and I think it's been a good 20 years since she washed her sheets. Vile temper when anyone mentions cleaning, always has been that way- my first purchase as a child was a bottle of bleach.....

[@janicemurphy-ingram7624]

I love that you massage the patient’s feet with Shea butter when you are done. This shows compassion and leaves them with their dignity. I’m sure it’s very difficult for some of them to come to you for help. Have a great Holiday season

[@cpreagan61]

You are so kind to your patients.

[@sailorbrite]

My mom, before she died in 2014, had some mild thickening of her nails and it embarrassed and frustrated her a lot. I wish there had been so many wonderful podiatrists on KZbin then like there are now and I had been more educated about foot and toenail issues to help her.

[@juliagoolia72]

Oh the relief when he pulled off that big flake of skin off her big toe! I was afraid he’d leave it!

[@goodgnu]

You have an amazing bedside manner. This sweet elderly woman was embarrassed but I’m glad you assured her it wasn’t the worst and to go see your doctor when you have medical issues!

[@ruthkymer4260]

Dr you are wonderful

[@donnadicks9960]

I felt so bad for her glad you took care of her. The pain she must have been in.

[@margaretdillinger5090]

You are such a Blessing to these elderly people. It’s heartbreaking to see the conditions of their feet. I pray I can find a doctor that is kind and caring.

[@mysticalheiress4362]

This guy is the real deal. Thank you. You've shown us what an amazing doctor looks like.

[@toniaparker3543]

I'm so glad she finally decided to get her feet taken care of. A lot of times we think our family members are trying to tell us what to do when they are only trying to look out for our health.

You are awesome! I wish other podiatrist would be as kind and willing to go the extra mile to give their clients beautiful feet. Especially one female KZbin podiatrist. She butchers her clients nails. Your clients all leave with a smile on their face. Also, a little extra pep to their step.
