Doctor asks about the dry skin on her feet, she says , "Cause i haven't been taking care of my feet !". I was proud of her for just owning it and moving forward.I hope she is healed and well soon.

How great is this doctor? He never makes his patients feel ashamed about the condition of their feet, and he talks to them. So many times these people don't have anyone to really converse with! Lovely man!

@lindapulizzi6494- No, he commented that the patient was late, not the doctor; but he also said, "You're here now and we'll take care of you." Nice, compassionate doctor!! 😊

Amen to the fact that's he's one special doctor in every possible way. Thank God for doctors like this. He most definitely is very special..❤

[@hamidehguest676]

The Feet Doctor is so lovely. Patients already are worried and stressed. These kind of kindness, although not acknowledged but is so appreciated later on in life.

[@mamm7223]

The patient was such a sweetheart, and I felt so bad for her when she admitted that she was scared. Her feet looked so much better when you got finished, Dr.Jefferson, and I'll bet they felt better as well.

[@chriggle1]

I have learned so much from both Dr J and the toe bro. I am in the UK and diabetic. I stopped wearing toe post shoes long before my diabetic nurse told me, I learned what to look out for on my feet, and taught my husband how to trim my nails for me properly as I have mobility issues. When I had my nail gutters removed because of ingrown nails, I knew what to expect and how to deal with it all. My diabetic nurse and podiatrist both comment on how I look after them. I now wear specific socks and am more comfortable. Thank you Dr J for your continued education for us all.

[@vlrissolo]

This woman is a joy to listen to. She has such an animated voice so even her simple stories sound so interesting!❤❤❤

[@skyedancer3106]

Hi Dr. Jefferson, you made a big difference in this woman's feet. She was a sweetheart and you treated her as so. I confess, I really hated feet. They creeper me out for some reason, until I started watching you. You showed me feet are just another part of the body that needs to be taken care of. Thank you. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤

[@toniaphillips9695]

What an awesome doctor. No shaming, and he talks with his patients. We need more doctors like him.

[@billymac23454]

The difference in the before and after footage is just amazing, I can't begin to imagine how this lady must have felt after seeing her feet after the work you did. I have watched quite a few videos on podiatry, and you, sir, are in a league of your own, the compassion you show towards your patients, the unquestionable skill you have, your whole demeanour puts you at the top of your profession.

[@jamesburnett7085]

This man is a living saint.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

The mark of 'good doctoring' - a practitioner combining skill with caring. We have all had LESS than ideal situations where we meet a Doctor who is 1-overbooked, 2-indifferent, or just 3-has a brusque, negative bedside manner. They don't teach that part in medical school. For patients it really CAN be the luck of the draw...And so when we find ourselves in an MD's office, where there is sensitivity along with bandages and scalpels? And a level of concern...? That's the best! During COVID I was blessed at Tulane ER to have someone who went the extra mile: ordering a second, more intense swab test to be certain of my status. It was uncomfortable, but she advised me going in - it would be, in order to obtain an accurate test result. Such attention to my anxiety as well as my health...I have never forgotten her. BTW Turns out I did not have COVID....

[@catrina7083]

Doc, you are a miracle worker! Your knowledge and professionalism is only surpassed by your compassion. I hope your patients appreciate it.

[@carollemieux7474]

As I say all the time, Dr. Jefferson is a saint. Washington DC should honor him for the care he gives the residents of DC.

[@pauladavies6705]

I love the fact that you always treat your patients with kindness 💕

[@sandrachapmon6685]

This doctor is so sweet, I took care of my mother who had dementia. She was to proud to ask for help. I took care of my mom in my house for her last year and half of her life. I did it all from her hair down to her feet. Her feet were awful but I just kept working on them every time I bathe her and in several months she had beautiful feet. Again this doctor is amazing to love on his patients. Wish all doctors cared about there patients the way he does.

[@cynthiafisher6374]

There are many good podiatrists through out the U.S. but none as good or better than this doctor. NONE.

[@martieflagg4671]

I enjoy watching this doctor because his sincerity when helping his patients. He never makes his patients feel bad or embarrassed irregardless of how his patients feet got in the condition. I would imagine that it's hard to show anyone the condition their feet are in.

[@skittles9970]

I went to a local foot doctor. I know i have some fungal issues on one foot. The doctor acted like he didn't want to touch me. He never took any samples to be tested and offered no help. I had to ask him for a prescription. My nails didn't even look that bad. I wanted to stop the problem before it got worse. I lost faith in foot doctors. I wish there were doctors like this in my area.

Congratulations. Thank you, Dr. Kevin J., for the video and many more videos. Dr. Kevin J is very concerned about his patients and their health and feet. Most people try hard but can't afford the expensive cost of taking care of their health. Very sad and neglected, but do to the expense. Yes, true patients are scared of pain. I know the feeling. Once you continue your journey to better health, it's a piece of cake. Your fears will go away. Dr. Kevin J, make you feel relaxed because you are in good hands and care. Everyone is greatly appreciated. Love always, Patricia ❤🎉😊Great job!

Hi Dr J This lady has admitted to not looking after her feet. My feet are extra dry skin due to under active thyroid gland but I do use a cream that my doctor prescribed for dry skin and it works. If it’s left it gets itchy and scaly. You gave this lady some good advice but there are side effects for every tablet under the sun basically. I use a topical oil for fungal infection and that does help but it takes ages to see if it’s working. Many thanks for these videos as I do find them helpful and can tell others about your work Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk x😊
