Medical Pedicures

[NotGolfer]

A friend was asking where they could obtain a medical pedicure. Yes, there's such a thing. Thought I could help them by asking here. Also please don't offer salons that you love for a regular one. THAT isn't helpful!! So many questions here asked get WAYYY off topic. TY

Friend needs a Podiatrist.

Thank you for responding BUT a podiatrist isn't what they're looking for. I KNOW there is such a person as a medical pedicurist as my friend has had that in the past. They're just not familiar with them here.

I always thought a medical pedicurist was a podiatrist.
My bad.

Have your friend ask their doctor for a referral, or an opinion on where or who they would use. I have no idea of the requirements for this type of work, so I will not provide any recommendations.

Might be but also what I originally asked about do them as well.

for 450 US dollars you too can become a fully certified medical nail technician

Enroll in Medical Nail Technician Program (https://medinail.com/membership/enroll-in-medical-nail-technician-program/)

First you do an online course then an entire one week office experience.
After completing the online MNT Program and passing the exams, the technician experiences a five day/40 hour Internship under the direction of a Podiatrist or other physician to learn the practical skills needed for working in a medical office. If needed, Medinail Learning Center aids the technician in in finding a Podiatrist who will provide this training.

of course YMMV

They work in a Podiatrist's office, under the direction of a Podiatrist. Much like a Physician's Assistant working under the direction of an MD...

For a brief time I used to get it done by a podiatrist here under Medicare. I don't think he liked doing it and his practice stopped altogether, finally. But I abandoned him first. It was such a poor shaping job, it drove me to using a regular nail salon.

Podiatrists are more concerned with function... not fashion...

Strange that you would write that as the website offering the training is very clear that their trainees have the option of using their intensive one week of training in a podiatrist's office or not requiring the supervision of a podiatrist.

You will discover that podiatrists need Medical Nail Technicians™ in their offices. They appreciate this trained MNT’s skills while their patients appreciate their comfort care and services. Other technicians do not want to work in a physician’s office but want the knowledge this level of information provides concerning their clients and the respect it provides in marketing for referrals

Strange that you wouldn't read the ENTIRE website, especially this part:

"The Certified Medical Nail Technician™ (CMNT) is a state licensed nail technician or cosmetologist that has completed the Advanced Nail Technician Certification and then ten more modules of additional Medical Nail Technician training, the relevant exams and an Internship to prepare to work for a Podiatrist or other physicians."

If (s)he has a medical condition that requires a medical pedicure, (s)he could see the treating physician and ask for a prescription. Then, make an appointment to see a podiatrist to perform the pedicure.

I know for a fact that Dr Casteel (podiatrist) is familiar with and performs medical pedicures. His phone # is 352-674-1790.

One doesn't need a "prescription" (I assume you mean referral) to see a Podiatrist...

The Podiatrist is quite capable to determine whether or not a patient qualifies medically (ie, Diabetes, Poor Circulation, End Stage Renal Disease) to be reimbursed for the care...
