That patient really was enjoying all the wonderful work you were doing on her feet. Her caregiver sounded like she really cared about and knew her patients well.

Caregiver took care of another case while Dr. Jefferson was working. Great dedication on her part.

[@rosekathrein1119]

Anybody would love the work Dr. Jefferson does. He’s one doctor with a big heart and best service for his patients. Love him.

[@paulacorreal1675]

Dr. Jefferson, I was exhausted when you finished scraping the scales of dead skin off this poor dear ladies feet. You deserve a medal for endurance. What a difference you’ve made to her feet. I almost applauded when you broke out the electric buffer type instrument. Love your caring way and your channel is my favorite. Watching from PA.

[@rosekathrein1119]

You are truly the best for older people. You have so much respect for them and treat them so well. Thank you.

[@Carrie_13]

I've been too scared to go to a foot doctor for regular upkeep but learning there's nothing to fear through your videos has helped me immensely, thank you! This ladies' feet look fantastic!!

[@TerryProthero]

Definitely nothing to fear by going and a lot of things worth fearing if you don't go. I'm diabetic, so insurance covers me going once every three months. I get my nails trimmed, and they remove any calluses etc. Getting ingrown toenails removed hurts a little, but it feels so much better afterwards. Like getting a splinter removed. Most everything else just tickles a little. Like when he uses the scalpel or that sanding thing, that doesn't hurt at all. He's just removing dead skin.

[@guardianangel9517]

Just remember that not all podiatrists are the same. Do your shopping

[@TerryProthero]

@@guardianangel9517 Good point. I actually did do a little shopping for mine. My doctor had someone in mind, but I also made some calls myself. Another podiatrist I spoke to recommended the podiatrist that my doctor had in mind and that I am currently going to. They are the only ones in my area who specialize in diabetic patients. And the other podiatrist told me that's what I wanted under my circumstances. I don't have any diabetic related health problems, but I am diabetic. And those types of issues need to be checked for.

[@mamm7223]

Poor lady. I know she felt better when she left because that was quite the transformation! Your patients are so blessed to have you, Dr. Jefferson. As a matter of fact, those of us who watch you from afar are blessed as well. We learn about foot issues, treatments, foot care and we are also reminded with each video that there ARE still kind, caring, compassionate left in this world. Thank you!

[@lizbarrow1696]

I am so glad that the salon turned away this patient. She really needed to see you. You really do know what you are doing. Kudos to you Dr J.

[@TerryProthero]

Salons are pretty terrible for foot care. There are too many cases of people getting bad care there or getting an infection because of unsanitary conditions. Definitely go to a podiatrist. After seeing so many times pedicures go wrong on videos like this, I would never get one. I'll just go to a barber or salon for a haircut. I don't want them providing my healthcare. That would be the kind of thing that was done in the Middle Ages.

[@Upstaged07]

@@TerryProthero I've had hundreds of pedicures in my life and never had a problem. You just need to go to a good salon that practices correct cleaning protocols and sterilizes everything. Obviously if you're diabetic or have other issues you should go to a doctor, but for the average person a pedicure is fine.

[@valenciaing.4316]

I came for the amazing work but stayed for the TEA during that phone call lol

[@kimberlypatton205]

My heart goes out to this lady! So many of us ( as we advance in years) find it nearly impossible for us to even reach down and clip our toe nails! I am 64 and helped my mother in law weekly with her home pedicures.I am blessed to have the same healthy feet as in my 20’s… I hardly ever wear closed , restrictive shoes .

[@lynetteyoung3743]

What a difference a day with Dr. Jefferson can make for your feet!!!!! I love the way you listen to what patients are saying. You glean so much of what their lives are like so you can directly affect their lives.❤

[@flyme53]

I can't think of a more nobel act than helping these senior citizens be more comfortable in their daily life. I admire you for all you do. Thanks!

[@TerryProthero]

Absolutely. Having healthy feet can do wonders for a person's comfort level and health in general. Watching videos like this got me to start seeing a podiatrist regularly.

[@McChrister]

May I ask what a “Dutch Uncle” means? I am originally from Holland and never heard of the term…..Curious to find out! Thanks in advance for a reply.😊 God Bless🙏🏼👋🏼🇨🇦

[@DunjaDB]

Wikipedia: Dutch uncle is an informal term for a person who issues frank, harsh or severe comments and criticism to educate, encourage or admonish someone. Thus, a "Dutch uncle" is the reverse of what is normally thought of as avuncular or uncle-like (indulgent and permissive). Greetings a Dutchy from the Netherlands.

[@McChrister]

@@DunjaDB Thanks for your reply from a Dutchie in Canada😊👋🏼🇨🇦

[@kellyskaggs7987]

Awesome transformation! When my mom was in hospice, the caregivers refused to cut her nails or maintain her feet. . She was a diabetic. Thanks to you, I was able to cut her nails safely and keep the crusty skin at bay. Thank you so much for the teaching you give in your videos! God bless you!

[@kealyphillips3946]

Unfortunately some caregivers are not allowed to cut toenails, it just depends on the states licensing board on things that staff can do. In California it's a no. Thank God you were there for her to help.

[@sailboatrn7372]

It is also like that in VA. Only podiatrists can cut the nails of diabetic patients.

[@Anthology_of_Holly]

As a nurse in Australia we are told we are not to touch toenails at all, especially on diabetic patients as they are at high risk for complications. Only a podiatrist is allowed. I’m so glad you were able to help your Mum out though!

[@patriciapeoples5667]

Congratulations. Thank you, Dr. Kevin J., for the video and many more videos. You are one of the best in foot care and loving help people with their feet. After your procedures, the feet will become healthy again. The person i know is very appreciative. Everyone is greatly appreciated. Love always, Patricia ❤🎉😊 Great job!

[@shirleybezuidenhout2724]

Dr Jefferson, you have really helped this patient immensely. I'm sure she'll feel a lot better knowing that her feet are well cared for. Enjoying your videos 👍👍

[@heavyrockfarm]

I hope the patient continues to get your help!! 🦶🏼

[@Irishguy075]

You’re an absolute Angel from Above for the care you give and way you help and treat everyone the same no matter what the situation. Her caregiver also seems to be very knowledgeable and understanding and I hope more learn from her. We have to learn to help our elders when they need instead of just turning the other way like so many of the younger generation does and that’s all of us. Thanks for all you do my friend 👍

[@vlrissolo]

What a workout! You always do things correctly, even if it takes longer. YOU'RE THE BEST ❤

[@adelaidebarone3807]

You show patients so much compassion. I'm 70, thankfully have beautiful skin and feet and grateful I can still reach my feet. Watching your videos has reminded me how important it is to keep up good foot maintenance! Thank you!

[@barbaragraham9961]

You’re the best! I know it must take a lot of controlled strength and time to take off all of that dead skin build up. You always leave your patients with feet that are more comfortable and soon healthier. The elderly are especially blessed by your work. God bless you.

[@eileenrice8775]

Incredible difference! You are a godsend to these folks. She must feel so much better!

[@blxgrl]

Absolutely a fantastic job doc. I have bad flat feet and i hope to travel to DC one day to see you. Im disgusted with the foot doctors here in KC. Having painful feet is as bad as bad knees

[@user-hb6cx6td3y]

This patient needed this treatment thanks. Dr. Jefferson, for being so kind to her

[@margaretkemsley3000]

This kind of reminds me of my parents who have both died, I went to visit them and walked in with them both on the floor grinding each other's feet with a grinder. I nearly had a heart attack

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I’m so glad she was brought to you. Did she say she was 75? If so, I need to not complain about my health issues because I’m turning 73 soon and she’s breaking my heart.💔. You are doing such a wonderful job on her poor feet. God bless you both. Hugs Doctor.

Wow, that was one amazing transformation of her feet Dr, unbelievable difference they were in a terrible mess. I Will bet you Doc when she slips her feet under the sheets she is going to feel a remarkable difference in them. She must feel like a new person her feet will have feelings again. She is going to sleep so much better getting rid all that calluses dryness. She needs to soak her feet when she is just setting around help so she will get rid of the dry skin won’t get that terrible build up, dry them good put moisturizer on them. You did one fantastic job, the best foot doc. Thank you for taking the time doing a great job. ❤

[@connieleonard8326]

I saw several Doctors before I picked one. Some wanted or pushed therapy. Finally, I saw a Podiatrist who said your feet are way past therapy. Surgery is the only fix for your problems, bunions, Heel spurs, and Hammer toe. My feet looked like a science project,, My feet are beautiful now. My only regret is I listen to the ones pushing therapy, Big mistake .. Do not put it off as some recommend. Do it as soon as you can .. I wish I had done it years before I did. I choose a Podiatrist vs an Orthopedic surgeon .. And I have never regretted it .. He did an excellent job ...

[@susannazem8619]

Thank you Dr. Jefferson for your videos. As my parents were getting older and could not do for themselves I was able to step in and do some small nail cutting but, I did have someone come to the house to do it for them. My parents feet never got this bad with cracked skin and thickness. I was lucky enough to get that taken care of before it got bad. You helped with that a lot. I cleaned their feet between their toes and dried them really well. Then put on a good cream to keep them soft. Even after they needed more help then I could give them i still watched over their feet and kept them as good as I could. Thank you so much. My heart goes out to those who don't have someone to help them out. Bless you

I hate to say this but this video was a remake of a classic Martin sitcom show where Shanana was giving Myra a pedicure! That scene will make you laugh until you cry. This same skit is also on KZbin performed by some little girls that is hilarious. They are using the voice over from the Martin show characters. It's too funny. My bringing this up was not meant to take away from the excellent work that Dr. Jefferson does, it was just to point out the similarity. I think that this Doctor is fantastic.
