Ugly Toenails?
We know how annoying it is to not be able to de-stress from they day by taking your socks and shoes off and kicking your feet up! Instead you decide to keep those socks on in case someone were to spot those unsightly toenails.
Also, after researching what it is you're looking at, they're so time consuming to get rid of! Honestly, the time is worth it. If they are left untreated, the fungus gets worse and worse and soon you'll be seeing just white superficial nail fungus (looks similar to calcium deficiency) to thick, ugly, yellow, brittle nails you thought you'd never have.
We went ahead and created a short video in our Roanoke office (no sound so you can watch it at work ;) ) to let you see how quick and easy the laser treatment is. We ask you bring a clean pair of socks for after the treatment and we also provide with the essentials to sterilize your environment.
If you have any more questions about the laser or nail fungus, give us a call! There's also tons of information on our website including our interview with Channel 10 news!

A Podiatrist is a foot and ankle specialist- we offer all services listed below and more!
Dr. Kate Steklachich |
Dr. Jennifer Feeny |
- Surgeries- everything from removing a bunion to reconstructive surgeries
- Bunions
- Warts
- Ingrown Toenails

The list can really go on and on! Our Blacksburg and Roanoke offices want to stress that we specialize in feet and ankles. A lot of people may think going to a general surgeon or orthopedist for surgery is a better idea than a podiatrist for a problem they are having with their feet or ankles. However, because we specialize and are day in and day out dedicated to this specific area- we know it best! If you have a question about a condition, pain or something else you are experiencing and it isn't listed here or our website- give us a call! We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
