Accepting New Patients

I am a L.P.N. That has Advanced Foot Care training. I travel to peoples houses on the Sunshine Coast that need foot care performed. What an appointment includes is going over medical history, toe nail trimming, callous care, corn care, suggestions on foot wear and a small massage. I travel between Gibsons to Madeira Park. For the last 16 years I have been working closely with diabetic patients and their feet. Foot health is very important and something that can be a struggle to have maintained. more info
