The only thing that keeps guilty people from being held accountable is for good men to say nothing. Thanks for being a good man!

[@elm57]

Thanks for speaking out!

[@patriciaclayborn9630]

Dr.Kevin…. No other could of said it better!

[@marthasherwin46]

You have always been a total professional and this is just another example.

[@1951June]

Thank you for your genuine concern. Love watching your videos and the care and advice you give your clients!❤

[@cynimintweet1867]

I totally agree 1,000 percent. It's really ashame and they should ashamed of how these people take advantage of the novous and ignorance of those that don't know. Like you said, if it sounds too good then it probably is. Blessings to you Dr. Jefferson and all the knowledge you share with us.

[@THW-zb1hb]

I appreciate you for saying what needs and should be said. Thank you for thinking enough of people to provide the safe truth to us all.

[@sonyaforeman7844]

Thank you for that valuable information.

[@Scuba_Bro]

I had no idea this was even a thing 😮

[@bettyplant4793]

Thank you, I appreciate you caring for us.

[@user-cs9um4fx7k]

You are a Amazing Dr I wish you were closer I have so many issues with my feet. I am a Diabetic with severe Neropathy on both feet and now traveling up to my knees. It is not fun at all Thank you for posting information. Lynn Brown

[@lilashelton535]

I appreciate you speaking out The general public is so undereducated in most aspects of life especially health and medicine.

[@kellybetts5643]

Thank you for educating the public! These people out there doing fraudulent medical services are dangerous!

[@kimberlycaraway740]

Thanks for speaking TRUTH Dr. J!! Yes, medical care is expensive but if you want it done correctly it's best to seek professionals who have experience in what they are doing. For me personally I prefer that the individual have years of experience in their field and most importantly that they have a GENUINE concern for the patient's well being. Having success stories to back them up and a healthy clientele also speaks volumes. Blessings Dr. J❤❤.

[@brittanyclark8943]

Thank you for speaking up about this!

[@barbshea9274]

Thank you for sharing. I love watching your videos. You show such concern for your clients. Wish there were more doctors like you!!

[@jamieandthemore]

I always appreciate your candor. I have seen similar issues in the fitness community. I'm sure I'll get flack for this. Please only trust trainers, martial arts instructors, out door guides, etc who can be vetted. It takes years of experience and training to become professionals in these activities.

[@charlotteohara9961]

I agree with you, Doctor!

[@simplesuzzie4628]

Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤

[@eibabekac]

As a nail tech I would never work out of my scope. But those techs are out there. Thanks for calling it out. It's dangerous. And new clients with these conditions will start to expect us nail techs to "fix" their issue.

[@sherryfalin899]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO TO HELP PEOPLE. AS A DISABLED ALMOST SENIOR IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT ALL PODIATRY SPECIALISTS DO NOT PROVIDE REGULAR NAIL CARE. ESPECIALLY FOR PATIENTS, LIKE MYSELF, WITH MULTIPLE MEDICAL ISSUES AND MOBILITY CHALLENGES. WE SHOULD ALL BE BLESSED TO HAVE A CARING PROFESSIONAL LIKE YOU!! **CAPS ARE FOR VISION NOT YELLING ** TY

[@rhianevans7189]

Hi Dr J I agree totally with you. There are some people everywhere in the world doing dangerous practices that can cause harm to the individual. This has to stop as it will escalate. Credentials are important to acquire for that person to carry out their work to the best of their ability. It’s when you hear all the stories of what happens in the back streets of their own community Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk x

[@janesynnot7446]

I agree 100%. Thank goodness for people like yourself and others.

[@oliviarobinson6047]

That's absolutely correct!! Them 12 hours courses. But not a licence podiatrist.. It speaks for itself.. GO TO A LICENSE PODIATRIST PERIOD.. TRUTH BE TOLD👍👍

[@karenzmuda2305]

Thank you for the pearls of wisdom.

[@lasandralucas7314]

[@aqualibra961]

Thank YOU! Continued blessings & much love.🙏🏽❤️

[@JandCDoodles]

I am a retired nail tech, I can tell you that unlicensed people practice in my profession as well. They are also using illegal products (MMA) on nails. so glad I don't have to compete with them anymore. A whole industry down the tubes.

[@daniellesmith7149]

Thanks, Doc, for always giving a good word.

[@yvonnemkariuki5344]

Thank you Dr. Jefferson for speaking up about this!! Medical professionals go through so much infection prevention training to keep patients safe, yet these folks don't even get regulated. You have no idea if and when the instruments were last sterilized!🏥🤢

[@DianeC.]

Hello Dr... Thank You for this info...🦋

[@silviacarafoli424]

Well said Doc!

[@jojo1216]

Great advice. Thank you for caring 😊

[@LetsTalk486]

Thank you so much for having the people’s safety at heart. You are a great man, and doctor.❤

[@maryrobinsonrefreshing1145]

Appreciate the insight. Thank you.

[@beejackson6193]

We can always count on your honesty! Thank you Dr.!!

[@fredadark5616]

Licensed nail tech here. It's illegal for us to work on fungal nails in California, or to use any kind of blades but some do it anyway.

[@tlcferguson8243]

Thank you Dr. I appreciate you very much.

[@Sandra-dm8rd]

Shout it out ! 🎉

[@emmagrindstaff9413]

Thanks for information!

[@alee7322]

People don’t understand these unlicensed practices can kill you.

[@susannailor3397]

Thank you for the info Dr J

[@KittySkyfish]

Teeth need enamel to protect against decay and sensitivity to temperature. Any enamel removal, as required in the veneer application process, is irreversible. It does not grow back. Once veneers are installed, you have teeth that now require MORE dental visits to ensure your compromised enamel and teeth stay healthy, as they are at a greater risk for behind-the-veneer decay. Oh, and veneers aren't forever. They do deteriorate/have a lifespan and need replacement every decade or so. Make sure you save up money for each eventual re-do. And if decay sets in and gets into your jaw? Have you ever priced a dental implant? Or, seeing the price quote, have the tooth pulled and live with a hole in your smile?

[@damnimsolucky7]

You're absolutely right 👏💯

[@gmabrenda5295]

I do not do social media much. Lately I have seen "supposedly medical professionals" offering free diabetic webinars to reverse diabetes, curing neuropathy, weight loss, etc. Sure, the webinar may be free, but the supplements, creams, and so forth are not. The other thing the nearest place I can get diabetic shoes is an hour away. I would first have to see the podiatrist (I already have one). Second trip for fitting and final trip to pick up shoes. My Podiatrist stop fitting and ordering diabetic shoes because Medicare does not pay them in a timely manner. I actually did the research and found the place to get shoes .😢 I shared that info with my podiatrist and primary because I figured other people are trying to find diabetic shoes. My doctor told me to get Brooks shoes. They are OK but I still have to purchase a shoe insert for support. What Are elderly, low income people suppose to do????

[@igottoknow2222]

What is the major issue with techs putting on false toenails. Especially when you cut the toenails down. What is wrong with the application of acrylic to that nail? How does it make the nails worse? What are some of the problems that it can cause?

[@ZahraArman]

I am watching your post from Iran❤️ and the movie was awesome💜

[@Dr.DeeDesta]

Hey doc!

[@twodogsandavanadventure1697]

Thank you so very much. If it looks to good to be true it bet it's shady.

[@barbararussell9532]

Thank you for the very good advice

[@johnchaplin5058]

Wise words from a wise man 🙏

[@Shyer08]

Thanks for the information

[@dextermorgan1]

If it's cheap, there's a reason. Especially in today's world.

[@shariperkins3584]

Thank you for this👍🏾

[@icare4you123]

Well said!

[@allisondecaille8495]

Tell them, Dr. Jefferson

[@igottoknow2222]

I have never heard of any product made specifically to cosmetically enhanced toenails. What are these products and where do you find these?

[@igottoknow2222]

Is there a problem with a certified medical nail tech? They do offer certification and they work in the podiatrist office for the cosmetic part of a service..

[@johanna11980]

Agreed, these are medical procedures ... and ultimately you have to pay to reverse the actions ... I like to save, but not at the cost of my health ...

[@faylambert6475]

well said doc❤❤

[@lindaSee89]

Hi occasionally follow a lady who is well an known Manicurist .When somebody comes in with pincher nails, she does a manicure and then she applies material on the nail up around the cuticle. She claims this material will make the nail grow normal. I personally think it’s a hoax. She has people coming back often to do manicures and she reapplies material in the manner. She often implies , and she is at odds with podiatrist treatments.

[@lynetteyoung3743]

I heard it said that a sucker is born every minute! First sucker is the person who takes these 22 hour classes and think they are licensed to do what they think they’re trained to do! That’s money wasted. And the other sucker is the people who use their services. That’s money wasted, when if you go to a licensed doctor to get health services, that’s money saved and health in tact. What great information Dr.!!!!👏🏽👏🏽. Unfortunately you are preaching to the choir.😕

[@vernawhitehead2990]

Thanks for speaking out God bless u.

[@rosemaryangela1825]

What is a veneer tech exactly?

[@sametrianetsanet]

Salute!

[@moniquebailey556]

💯💯😮

[@Scotty_Spacemonsterkiller]

thanks Toe Bro !

[@yonamadonna3049]

YOU ROCK

[@robinquarles3959]

Thise toenail techs are using products not specifically made for toenails. Acrylic shoukd NEVER go on toes because toes flex and you need a product that also flexes. There are approved prodcuts to reconstruct toenails and use as vands to help with pinchers etc but these products require a nail tech license to buy and you have to take the training. There are also maintence steps that your client must do inorder to get the service. I peronally refer clients to podiatrist and require a note to be cleared for any feet that dont look healthy. The reason why you are seeing so many veneer aka acrylic toe techs is because the actual product madr for feet is exspebsuve and has a learning curve and they would have to charge more. Those techs arent charging more Dr. Trust but if they were using the right products they could. They dont care aviut the health and maintence of their clients

[@pamelawalker3085]

[@grumpyoldgirl8582]

Same with other cosmetic procedures too. People from the U.K. go to other countries because it’s cheaper & the tax payers end up having to foot the bill for botched jobs done abroad. I don’t understand why people don’t do their homework before doing these things.

[@judithyoungquist8409]

It’s looking to replace my footbot, any ideas?

[@rosariodagosto6484]

You get what you pay for .???????😊😊

[@DianaStuckert]

Love your body the way God made it. Stop trying to fix what ain't broken.

[@timothytaylor9835]

Wow unlicenced, non medically trained people are allowed to perform medical procedures?

[@guardianangel9517]

I wish you were here in Idaho and did fingernails. I saw two dermatologists for fungai on middle left and pointer right.. One was for the nails who put me on meds for it (turbinafine?), and the other dermatologist for a HORRIBLE 3-mo rash. No one including my rheumatologist seems to think it's a big deal, but all of a sudden they're out of control, darkening, and bloody.😢 They look like something from a horror movie😞 I give up because I'm on a fixed income, so they play "kick-the-can" with me a lot. Anyway... I'm glad the people with podiatry issues have you over there. They are VERY BLESSED! 🙏🏻👋🏻👍🏻🫂💜🏆🥇

[@miss30427]

Sound advice. 🏆Dr. Jefferson, you are a mighty bell ringing the truth. We ought to safeguard our bodies and health. We should not hand over ourselves to charlatans peddling fadish botox, butt lifts, or breast augmentations.🫡
