Welcome to City Footcare’s Laser Nail Fungus Site. To the left there is a brief introduction to Laser Nail Fungus Treatment and the new Cutera Laser. Below that to the left is a list of my most recent blog posts. Just below this box you will find blog posts about nail fungus and the treatment of nail fungus, mostly laser treatment but other information on nail fungus too. The above navigation buttons will take you around this site. I hope you find it informative. Feel free to contact me with any questions about nail fungus, laser treatment of nail fungus and any other related topic. – Dr. Lawrence Silverberg

I have seen multiple doctors offering laser for nail fungus on Groupon for significant discounts…
I would advise you to stay clear of these doctors…
We all have heard, “when things sound to good to be true, they usually are”. This is no exception. I’ve closely read many of these ads and there are subtle things that make me think that these offers will not work.
Most of them say they are good for only one treatment. Some say one foot, or five nails or less. Some say 15 minutes of treatment. Some use the old PinPointe laser that just does not work (in my opinion and experience, to all the lawyers reading this).
The truth is it almost always takes at least 3 treatment to cure nail fungus. It requires using the proper laser machine, the Cutera is the best FDA approved machine. (Read my blog post on Cutera vs. Pin Pointe.)
Paying less for one treatment is a waste of your (discounted) money. It is like buying a product at the grocery store with a coupon but you really have no use for the product. It is unlikely that one treatment will resolve your problem.
Unfortunately, these doctors are ruining the experience for the rest of us. Reaching out to the public with sites like Groupon increases public awareness that the laser is a possible treatment for nail fungus, but the way they go about it sets it up for failure. Then the public gets a misconception that the laser does not work when in reality, when used correctly, it works great (about 70% of the time).
Avoid laser for nail fungus from Groupon, or better yet, call these doctors and require they give you three treatments for your money. If they will not, come see us.
