The Laser toenail procedure was anounced today on the cover of the Bakersfield Californian this morning.  We will also be covered by serveral television stations soon.

Introducing the most advanced treatment for fungal toenails on Earth. California Foot and Ankle Doctors is now using the latest laser treatment for fungal toenail disease. It is by far the most effective way of treating a fungal toenail condition. There are no contraindications or risk factors as are found with the use of oral medications. It can be used by diabetic patients, patients with liver disease and kidney disorders. It is safe to use with children.

Residents in the San Joaquin Valley no longer need to drive to San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles for this treatment. Successful rates for this form of treatment are over 90%. Typical success rates for oral medication such as Lamisil and Terbinafine are approximately 60-70%. Topical medications are generally below 15%.

We are pleased to announce the availability of this treatment and are welcoming patients to call our office to discuss this proceedure or to schedule an appointment. Additional information is available regarding this treatment on our web site under Whats New.
