I am now pain free
For years I have been dealing with an ingrown toenail. I thought I would just have to deal with the daily pain. Fortunately, I found Gail and she was able to gently manipulate the nail to where I am now pain free. Thank you, Gail!
Exceptional Care, Highly Recommended!

A Gentle Touch, Backed by Medical Expertise
As a retired medical professional, I know that foot care is essential; particularly for those who have trouble seeing or reaching their feet, and those with diabetes or neurological conditions that predispose them to foot problems. Once hard to find in the medical system, I was so grateful to find Firm Foundation Foot Care.
Gail, an RN and a Certified Foot Care Specialist, came to my house and gently trimmed my nails and addressed any area of fungal infection. She even left me with a welcome foot massage. I cannot recommend this gentle, kind specialist more highly!
