Heal These Heels!: Severe Callused and Cracked Heels

[@Toniarosewp79]

Bless her heart. Depression is debilitating. When you're depressed, you don't care to do much of anything. Even the daily basics such as showering can be daunting. I give her props for showing up for this appointment. I pray that she can get back to her old self & feel so much better.

@@Tavialatrice I know what you are going through. I hate it. I hope & pray that you soon begin to feel better yourself. Most people don't understand. Then it makes us feel even more horrible because we can't be who they want or what they need. It's hard to put our feelings into words.

I used to visit assisted living facilities. After giving a friend's grandmother a pedicure and manicure, some of her friends would ask for the same. They enjoyed the company, as did I, and I found they would take care of their feet because they felt good and looked pretty. I'd leave them a container of moisturizer and a pumice stone. I didn't charge. I got a kick out of their reactions! And again, they enjoyed the company. Sometimes people just want a loving/caring human touch.

[@purplepeggy9027]

Jace Harnage I've thought about volunteering at senior homes I could Never charge for something That brings me & them such joy. I used to do my grandmothers feet. I would crack her toes & massage after the lil pedicure. She loved it. she had diabetes which I have now. it really really does take s toll on the feet. and it is daunting tp keep up with them. if I miss more than 2-3 night of no moisturizer they get dry,very hard n cracked so bad so easily

[@MeganVictoriaKearns]

You're correct. Depression is no joke. Some people need love and care and don't get it. This is her way of getting it.

[@Jenura01]

I am glad she is still coming back.

[@sandrapass4787]

Dr. when you asked the question, "are you sleeping on me up there?" You woke me up. I had gotten so relaxed it felt like you were working on my feet too. Great job. StaySafe.

[@Marsena]

Uh oh! So this is the same lady that had the deep crack in her heel. I heard her mention anti-depressant meds. I hope she can get counseling in addition to that. As frustrating as this may be in terms of her foot care, my heart goes out to her. Depression is NO joke!

[@loribluestone3921]

You ain't kidding!

[@hellaSwankkyToo]

ahh. depression. totally explains why she wasn't really responding when the doc was talking about her needing to do her daily treatments. if you're in the throws of severe depression that's definitely not happening. i feel for her. ❤✊🏿

[@hellaSwankkyToo]

@lovelyblkwoman Brown dear god, please STFU w| that mess. 🙄 i swear religion is gonna be the end to us as a society.

[@bettyanderson368]

Good job!!

[@anitalebeau1238]

Dr. Jefferson, you are so good with your patients. I know she has long term issues and so glad she keeps seeing you.

[@pcamposeco]

I love the way he talks to her... firm but gentle at the same time ... great job Dr. 🙏🏽❤️

[@deeess2722]

My mom’s heels always looked worse than that - nearly full thickness cracks. I felt bad for her. I don’t think she ever had a pedicure in her whole life. She had severe depression and maybe just didn’t care. I swore I would never let my heels look like that. Great job, once again, Doc. You’re always so wonderful.

[@deefitzgerald2906]

YOU SIR....ARE THE MAN.....You not only help with their feet.....You GIVE them ways to fix the problems....

[@lizalcaraz9403]

I think watching this is more therapy for me! I’m not sitting here criticizing anyone, I’m just enjoying him work on her feet! 😄

[@cviolet7373]

Loving but firm with your patients! We need more doctors out there like you.

[@rosettawilliams7959]

Dr. Jefferson, as a former Lab Tech. I’m hoping you don’t suffer that condition we all get from using our hands repetitively. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Had surgeries in both hands. You are a pro in your field. God Bless! 🌹🙏

[@appletina3133]

He seems to really care about his patients.

[@shadesofvintageblue]

This video was right on time. I love watching your videos right before bed. Very soothing and relaxing. The real MVP in this video and all videos is Dr. Jefferson hand and wrist.

[@antonellaa9240]

Her poor feet, that looked so painful and uncomfortable. I could imagine the relief after the procedure. Good job Doc!!

[@micah-hooka7275]

You have a great occupation. A very helpful and HUMBLE practice! Jesus insisted on cleansing the feet of His humble followers. You’re a good man! Happy 2020

[@saritadugat7864]

I use to have the same problem with my heels. I’d get a pedis , put every kind of lotion & utter butter on them for cracked& dry heels. The only thing I could do was wear cotton socks that seemed to help but didn’t cure. I’ve been retired and I never go barefooted. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Wish I’d have had a Dr that could have helped me like you’ve help her. Keep doing what your doing 👏

[@donnawhite4621]

my feet take a beating during the summer. outside working in the yard in sandals.! I put vaseline on mine at night, give it a chance to soak in. give myself pedi's too..

[@starseekerbri]

I really hope she is able to receive the care she needs for her mental health. It’s really sad that some people just don’t have support from anyone. 😔

[@k9cop998]

Well done as always Doc. It's Amazing to still find a doctor who cares. You do a great job. Your definitely a son of God! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@kelliann2961]

When I was young (7-11 years old) I had problems like this with my feet where I could hardly walk because they would crack and were extremely painful. After seeing multiple doctors my mother gave up on cureing them, but every night she would make me put lotion and socks on my feet to sleep in and by shear luck after about two years my feet looked normal and have stayed that way. Thank God.

[@starynights9769]

I've never seen a video of anyone as skilled as you Doc makes watching others hard. You're like a ninja

[@purplepeggy9027]

I dont believe I've ever commented. But, This is the most satisfying videos For me. I've had a very,very,very,Very deep obsession with pickies & peelies, calluses, & crazy thick toe nails since I was 6yrs old. Watching the Dr. put his heart & soul into helping these people. He is Extremely dedicated.I sure wish he was in Chicago cuz I would be there. when I discovers these types of vids I felt like the stars had aligned. LOLOL I used to, & still do at 47yrs old beg my family to let me "get" there feet. I am the most wonderful foot massager because, I have terrible spurs, plantar fasciitis, and a bone disease named friesberg ? idk but I got them dry, cracked crazy heels too. but I fo them myself. of course Id live having them done. Idk. I know 1 thing for sure is I would have been a phenomenal podiatrist. This is an awsome channel. its my favorite out of the ones I've seen.

[@lmsytranscript]

I don't know why this looks so relaxing to watch!

[@monicaeastman302]

As someone with spine issues I know how difficult it is to care for your feet but spending a few minutes a day maintaining what a podiatrist does is so worth it!!

[@ItsMeDee60]

Wow, Dr. Jefferson, we gonna have to call you the Miracle Foot Doctor. Her feet look good and I know she feels better.

[@kaley4788]

He is a miracle foot doctor! And you can tell that he genuinely cares about each and every patient that he has! Instead of like most doctors that just treat their patients like a number. And his voice is very soothing too! lol

[@Irishguy075]

The best person and DR on YT that I have seen. Patients feel so at ease because you take care of their feet but also seem like you are treating their whole body and mind. You always know to ask about their other appts. to make sure they are following up on their health. I would love to go to you not only for my feet but just to talk and about life. We wish you and your family the Greatest of Holidays and amazing New Year!

[@tinawakefield9477]

I do hope she keeps up her treatment,you have made her feet look so good.....I can almost smell that Shea butter! Thank you for sharing Dr Kevin 🎄🍷

[@fabulousfoundations3507]

Once again you do amazing work !!! You do the most thorough job with your patients , it's the best I've seen except one other on KZbin . You should be recognized for how well you do your job ,keep the videos coming I love to watch !

[@Fudgeey]

So so happy you recommend shea butter! My father recently started suffering from cracked feet and 1 small heel fissure. We're beginning the process of correcting those, and I told him to soak his feet and seal in moisture with shea butter last week. He gave me attitude because it's the same shea butter I use for my hair, but moisture retention is moisture retention, regardless of application! Now if I could just re-train his thinking about moisturizing, whenever I've told him to lotion up, his response is "I ain't a sissy" 😒

[@juliagoolia72]

She must have walked out of there half an inch shorter after removing all that!

[@kellywelch9653]

You have a very kind way of letting your patients know that they need to step up their game.

[@suesnook5137]

I have never had heels to this degree of dryness but they would get some cracks in the winter. Since watching your videos, I have been taking much better care of my feet! Thank you.

[@karlthoma1648]

A Doctor who truly cares. I enjoy watching the dedication, the going above and beyond for often remarkably damaged or extremely neglected feet. You need an assistant to go in first and get the majority of the work done for you to inspect and then take it home! Thank you.

Bless you doctor.

[@sherrywimmer7355]

You are the #1 foot Dr. ! Best all around care hands down! 🤩

[@msmuffin027]

Wow, simply amazing! Looked like 2 different pairs of feet. This is a sad situation. Hopefully her not responding doesn't mean she isn't listening. I'm glad that she is at least following up with you. Depression can take over your life sometimes, almost paralyzing. God willing this woman get the help she needs.

Dr. Jefferson you have gifted blessed hands. That scapale and your talent took her feet from 0 to 10, wonderfully done. If I didn't see it for myself honestly I don't know if I would believe it. I sure hope that this patient can feel good enough to join the cure and does her part, especially after you made her feet look brand new.

I really like how you get after your patients. More Drs should do that, then we might not have so many of us acting medically stupid.

I don’t know how you do it that long. You’ve definitely got a strong left hand 🖐🏼 for sure. Great video as always

[@priscillarobinson7740]

I thought her left foot was going to have more severe issues. She was extremely lucky this time. If they were my feet and you gave me instructions on how to take care of them you better believe I’d follow your advice. Maybe she can’t reach her feet, but then she should tell you so you both can work together to figure out how to handle this issue. Your feet are too important to neglect. I can’t wait to see her heels next time. Another great job 👣

I am so happy you do such excellent patient teaching! And show such compassion! Thank you Doctor for this wonderful video!!
