A patient in her late 80s returns for regular foot care. In her previous visits, she presented with ulcers beneath calluses on the tips of her toes. This time she has ulcers beneath 2 toenails, as well as fungal toenails and calluses. Her poor circulation is made worse by her smoking. She does not have diabetes, yet she has some of the same foot problems due to this condition.

I really love how you take care of your patients. We need more doctors like you!
I could not agree more! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
100% Dr Jefferson is one of a kind.
This is Ministry in its purest form. You Doc are in my prayers.
Amen!
I never get over being so impressed with your meticulousness! Always a perfect job!
I agree with you. He does an amazing job & I love watching his videos. I’ve watched plenty of videos and many foot doctors are not as meticulous So I really appreciate the work he does.
Silvia Latoni agree with this! My three favourite are Dr Jefferson, Toe Bro, ans and ms foot fixer as they don’t just hack away. They really make sure a persons foot feels nice and are meticulous in their treatment. I imagine for many patients having their feet “look good” really helps their self confidence as well.
Hello Sir, it would be reassuring to know there was a doctor of your caliber in my vicinity. The respect and attention that you give is awesome! The way you approached the smoking issue was the best way to handle a touchy issue. Instead of condemning her. You used it as a part of her treatment plan. I was listening and replacing smoking with weight issues. as you spoke with her at the end. It made me feel good. It is so easy to become defensive regarding these issues. You didn't belittled her. I know plenty of healthcare individuals who need to learn your technique.
I've learned a lot watching you work.
And making concrete suggestions for how. So many think they should lecture the light switch off and even refuse to treat the other issues. Dr. J listened to her talk about not smoking till she moved from MS to DC and enlisted her and her grandson in problem solving how to reverse that. I hope she is able to make some progress. (Even if that progress is just identifying triggers or obstacles!) Granny Mississippi is "not helpless!"
I'm glad to see you have a water fed drill like the toebro so you dont have to keep spraying your patient's feet with water. You are so caring with them they must feel like royalty.
As my Mama would say...you can tell Dr Jefferson was raised right, he constantly says yes ma’am. Very respectful man and great bedside manner. Shame there are not more doctors like this. Awesome job Dr.
I wish you could be cloned!!
Är
@@barbrosundqvist7625 what?
Yeah you can definitely tell he was raised right.... I just wish more of them were! These young men raised by single mothers are definitely not a good thing for society....
You are absolutely right good man.❤
I love how you show respect for your elders. Such a gentleman and old school.
Magnífico trabajo no me canso de verlo gracias por los vídeos ...
😂😂@@isabelviululiet1848
These folks come in with feet looking like they’ll fall off, and leave with them looking like diamonds.
I would love the sit and talk with her for hours. I can tell she has a whole lot of wisdom that can be bestowed upon the younger generations💜
watching Dr. Jefferson gives me hope that there are other Doctors our there who have the same Caring & Compassion that he does.
Me too. I've grown to be very afraid of doctors because of how cruel most have been, but watching a good doctor like Dr. Jefferson helps me be less afraid. I wish more were like him.
99.9% of doctors should take lessons from Dr Jefferson. He is awesome
my gracious...they look so crusty and hard. i pray her foot health gets better. i care for the elderly for a living and the 1st thing i do is check their feet and make an appt immediately if theyve been neglected. they often hide their feet from their family. i will never understand that behavior. im sure her feet felt sooo much better after all that work u put in. they sure did look 100% better.
She’s not going to stop smoking. It’s probably the only thing she enjoys. Maybe it would be great if she could visit you more often
I agree I being watching your videos ! Now and then ,but Your such a good person and very patient with all those people thank you for being so kind with them
My parents have been smokers all their adult lives (in moderation, not heavy at all for sure). They are both mid-70s now and their foot health is excellent. No issues at all. So it's not always "just" the smoking. It's a total picture. And well, I guess, smoking doesn't affect everyone the same. But it's true, it is hard to give up and I don't think talking about it will make her quit. It might even drive her away if it is brought up all the time.
Sad but true.
I had an aunt who was a heavy smoker and lived to be 93. She fell and had to go into a nursing facility. Because everywhere is nonsmoking she had to use a nicotine patch. Sad to see that happen at her advanced age.
I feel like this ladies feet need soaking every night and moisturizing
Your bedside manner is amazing. I took a client to see a foot Doctor here in Portland Oregon & he was the rudest Doctor I had ever came across. I Immediately changed doctors for my clients because there is no way I was gonna let her continue to get treated the way she was being treated at that facility.. So Thank you for being such a great Foot Doctor & also for being so great with your patience. May God continue to Bless you & your family.. Be safe..
YES AND AMEN.
Oh my goodness, so many issues 😢 I’m glad this lady came in before things got worse. Is that continuous water stream with the dremmel new? What a great idea, no more hot spots! Love the musical interlude 👍🏻
You are the definition of a “great doctor”.
I agree! He’s one in a million! 💎
This is a very sad case. I can't imagine the frustration and hopelessness you must feel when faced with cases like this one. Yet, you still show the same kindness, respect, and professionalism. Thank you for your work.
I hope when I haveadoctor look at myfeet he is just asking. Last told me I need to lose weight an,foot problems will go away!
I feel bad for her. Why do her feet look so bad?
La suerte de ella es que la trató el dr Jeferson un hombre de mui buenos sentimientos DIOS lo bendiga
So sad no one has taken care of her but I know it can happen
Lol. Grandma likes her pina coladas! She’s a funny grandma
Autumn Santana I’m with Grandma! I like a pina colada too!
And her cigarettes
I love the way you interact with your patients. You listen to them and give awesome care. Keep up the good work.
Everyone talks about telehealth but not everyone has access to a smartphone or a computer.
so true...especially the elderly. if they do have a smart phone most dont know how to operate the app features.
Assatta Lewis, what age do you consider “elderly”?
My Dr. will hold a phone call no video appointment with me. I just need medication refills. She probably should be an eyes on patient kinda appointment.
Assatta Lewis exactly my great aunt has I phone and she only knows the phone Icon to make calls and to pick up. She doesn’t even use her contacts she still has a mute book with everyone’s phone numbers
The think that concerns me about telemed is that they're not seeing the in person issue in person. Would he be able to tell if there are abscess under the nails or calluses without see them? It worries me of what my doctors are unable to truly see an issue. They have ordered tests for me though.
Love the new water-assist nail drill! How do you choose your drill bits? Of the ones I've seen you use, it seems the cone shape works best, followed by the thin bit you use on the side walls and cuticles. Do you prefer metal or ceramic? The round one you used on this video seemed to skip over the nail a lot ( or was that due to the lady's twitchy feet?) Glad you could help this lady, and I'm glad you understood her. I was only catching 1 in 3 words. Great job! Her feet were so improved! I hope she stops smoking.
She sounds like the sweetest little lady.. I can imagine her in a fancy church hat and Sunday dress with all her grands and great grands around her... I love old folks and she’s absolutely adorable! ❤️
Another fabulous video.
Your care and concern for people is admirable.
Bless her heart.
Stay safe and blessed Dr. Jefferson.
If I lived in DC, I would definitely have you as my podiatrist! You really take time with your patients.
The pandemic has really taken a toll on the elderly, and not just with the virus itself.
Bless your heart to work on her feet, when she has so many issues💓
Good work Doc! Thanks for showing seniors compassion and genuine concern.
This is what u call a doctor who spends good quality time doing a excellent job on his patients would love to have u here in the uk
All I could think about was my deceased grandmother. I would want her to be handle with care like this.
Yay no more spray bottle...U finally got an electric file that sprays water! Move out the way toe bro!
Her toes are drenched! That's a lot of mess.
You have the patience of God. Thank you for treating your patients so wonderful
God bless this poor woman's heart. Thank you for your kindness and professional manner. There needs to be more folks like you in this kindless world at the moment!
I love this patient she always have a great story to tell
Dr. Kevin, you are an ABSOLUTE ANGEL. You always go above and beyond for your patients, I see other channels on UA-cam that show patients with the same type of foot problems that go to a “Doctor” who cuts the nail length and some thickness, then they “file” the nails to make sure there are no sharp edges and clean up and send them home. They claim they feel like sculptors, but in my very humble opinion, they do the minimal for what insurance requires and believe they’ve done a “great” job. Dr. Kevin out of the 10+ channels I’ve been watching over the years, you are absolutely amazing with your patients, you actually take care of the WHOLE person, versus just their feet. You ask questions about almost every aspect of their health and how they’re doing and if they have adequate help. You are an Angel. I know I’ve said many times on here, but every time I see how you change a patient’s life by fixing their feet, I can’t help it. God Bless and keep on doing the great work you do.
This Podiatrist seems not only a great professional, but also a respectful and well-mannered human being.
God has blessed you with a beautiful gift. Patience!!!! You're sent from Heaven🤲
What a sweet Mama. Glad she didn’t put off coming to see you.
Is this a lack of caregiving? Smoking? Being black in DC, america? I ask because we keep seeing similar stories. I think it’s marginalizing our citizens because of both race and age.
Carla Perkins Really the race card?....😖 I think it is more socio-economics.
Please don’t do perpetuate that garbage here..... the same thing applies to the elderly in both genders and all races. Your only looking at what you believe applies and is relatable to you not the problem as a whole that has absolutely nothing to do with race.
McChrister I just can’t anymore..... everywhere I go, no matter the topic of conversation, someone will turn it into a race issue....
Many people only go to the doctors when something hurts. No matter what their skin color is
Socio, means sociology. Which includes the effects of race. Black people provably receive worse care than white patients.
So yes, the race card
You are such a blessing to all your patients!
Dear lady, I like Pinia Colada’s too. Glad you have your grandson to help you. Excellent work Doctor, God bless.
I love how she kept saying I don’t wanna put words in anyone’s mouth when she is the one smoking the cigarettes, so she would be lying on herself she means lol that was too cute.
Such a wonderful, respectful doctor. Wished I lived closer....(I'm in NC)
I am so happy that her grandson is taking care of her. As you said, it doesn't happen as much as it should.
Thank you for taking such good care of your patients.
Hopefully now with the clean nails she can use some medicated cream.
You’re such a caring and compassionate doctor. You listen, are gentle, and it truly shows that you care about your patients.
I hope she will quit smoking. I know how difficult it is. I quit 16 yrs ago, in Nov. I knew I couldn't do it cold turkey. I used the patch. I still had cravings, thankfully I didn't give in to them.
Smoking causes poor circulation, especially with sugar. Then we start losing digits. I don't want 2 see that happen 2 her, or anyone.
Other than that, great job on her feet! I wish her luck. She can do it. But the mindset has to change, and she'll b on her way👍❤☮
The absolute patience, care and respect you always show your clients is always so wonderful to watch. Her poor feet look so painful to live with and I really hope this lovely lady keeps well and continues to remain safe. And that she gets access to all of her healthcare needs 💐
First...man I love ya vids you are the most kindest doctor Yu care about what your doing number 1 doc
I love the way you say "yes ma'am" You are so kind. A really beautiful human being
I watch you work ever time you put out a video. Thank you so much for being a willing vessel for the use of the creator in helping others.
She is an absolute doll. I could listen to her stories for hours, even years!
I'm so grateful she got to you before those abscesses got real bad.
Oh it’s a whole vibe with the music 🎼🧘🏾♀️
I'm glad Dr. J. identified each music piece.
Oh her poor toes! You spoke to her in such a calm manner. Thank you, Dr Jefferson.
Dr. Jefferson it won't be long before you will be having a 100K party! 🎉🎊💃
You are truly doing God’s work. Thank you for being of service to your community!
I love your behaviour to your patients. So much honor, respect, love, yes sir, yes m am, responsinility in everything you do. It looks like everybody is a relative to you. REALLY GREAT !!!!!
Responsibility
I am impressed
Really like the new drill, hope you and your patients do to. I am always impressed by our bedside manner. Grateful there are people like you in the world. We need to take care of our elderly!
You do a great job you Dig in people's feet and you don't stop until you get it at least 95 100% better
That's a tough lil lady. We don't make em like her anymore. Great job on her feet!
She sounds so SWEET!! I would love to just sit down with her and listen to her tell me stories. 🥰 God bless you, ma’am!
Dr. Jefferson, you worked a miracle for her feet .👍👍
Great Job Dr Jefferson!!... We can't ever forget our senior citizens. My blessings to you for that and all you do!!
The respect level is through the roof that you shown.. This lady manner of speech and mannerisms is so much like my 90 y/o grandmother that it's uncanny. You are doing a great service in your community Sir! Major props...
I'm so glad you listen & discuss her other health issues while she's with you, especially since it sounds like she isn't able to see her doctors right now. It's good to hear her grandson is helping to take care of her.
This made me miss my grandparents. The tables truly turn as we age. It's an awkward feeling not being "a child" anymore and helping them make decisions 😢❤
I've got the biggest crush on Dr. Jefferson 🥰
You have such an amazing bedside manner with your patient. It's a true blessing.
The person's who raised you must be proud! Thank you again🤗
She's so sweet. I know the relief post-appointment is wonderful for her!
A treasure to the community Doc, they work you do is amazing
As I get older, I'm 70, it becomes difficult to perform some tasks. We humble ourselves when we have to have assistance. Thank the LORD there are compassionate Doctors such as yourself. It's not easy to admit that we need help especially when we were once very independent people. I thank you all and ask the LORD to bless you.
Sometimes I find it difficult to understand some of dr. Jefferson's clients. Would it be possible to use subtitles or some help in following the conversation?
Oh my goodness! I feel so sorry for this sweet lady! It breaks my heart!
Your are a real example of humanity. 😊 BRAVO
You always do a wonderful job Doc!!
Bless her heart. Her feet look SO much better. Another great job‼️
What a sweet heart this lady is. As an RN I absolutely love the obvious care,concern and respect you have for your senior patients👍
Great work, Doc Jefferson!
What a wonderful doctor! You treat everyone who is a patient of yours with dignity and respect. God bless you!
You're the best, hands down!
You are so caring towards your patients, it's lovely to see.
Great job as always! If you’ve never heard of Earl Klugh, give him a listen! He plays acoustical guitar! He’s amazing! 👍💃💗
You are the sweetest man!! I love how you are so respectful and kind to this sweet lady.
Just by seeing the thumbnail, i click like button automatically
I keep saying, thank you for continuing to care for our elderly. I’m glad she has someone at home who is doing what they can to care for her. Be blessed.
I bet this lady it's very sweet , would like to see Her !stay well beautiful lady
What a nice lady! I'm glad she's being good during the pandemic and that her grandson is keeping tabs on her! 🥰🥰🥰
Wow those nail seem hard for you to cut. Poor lady. So glad your helping her. Your a very good dr.
I notice a lot of people's feet look like they have been wearing unsuitable shoes for a long time.
Anyone else want to call BS on her answer to if she’s doing good with quitting smoking? 😂
She said I'm doing very well but you gotta ask my nephew to find out how many lmao
Dr. Jefferson, you are one of the most kindest doctors. You really care for your patients.
Sweet proud woman. I hope she has someone to help
Her. Maybe her church.
I just adore how kind and polite you are to your patients.
Those feet look worn-out the feet are the last thing people take care of yet they expect a lot from them,,,,perhaps those feet have done many years of work
My favorite part of the cleaning is the wet dremel! I wish you would show the entire Dremel process in all your videos. It’s amazing how well it cleans up the nails. You do such a great job with getting good video and editing it all together. Thank you Dr.
You are so amazing to your patients...
Awesome work DR
What a delightful lady. Oh those poorfeet she must have felt she was walking on air after.
God bless you, your family and the good work that you do. You are so respectful and compassionate towards your patients. You never talk down on them and never judge their bad habbits. You try to help them. Have a blessed week.
Love your program and the music is awesome
Thank God your patients have you to care for them. You handle perfectly her smoking issue. You can’t give up on her & maybe she will quit, but chances are she won’t...probably one of her few pleasures. God bless her & you Doc
Whew, those are some gnarly feet, look a lot better afterwards though
Im a little over halfway done watching the video, and I must say....Im loving the music during the drill portions of your vids 👌1000x better than the annoyingly loud drill sound that scared me half to death and I'd quickly turn my volume down! 😆
