Gail was absolutely phenomenal and took great care of my grandmother. Grandmother absolutely loved her.
Providing a much needed service
I am 96 years old and saw Gail today for a troublesome big toenail. Gail was very professional, personable and treated me with dignity and respect, despite the fact I was without my hearing aids and couldn’t hear much. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of foot care.
Home visit foot care
I put off the care of my feet to the point of embarrassment. Due to medical issues I decided to have an appointment. I’m very impressed with the care, professionalism provided. I didn’t have to go to an office and felt more comfortable at home. I wish I had done this much sooner. I have already scheduled follow up appointments. Thank you very much.
A very good experience!
Gail took very good and gentle care of my mother’s feet with a kind demeanor. My mother will look forward to her next treatment.

Thanks so much for your excellent care of Mom and Dad and their feet! The convenience and safety of your coming to them is a wonderful gift/blessing and we are so grateful.
