Tuscany Podiatry, P.C., Tuscaloosa

Almost 20 years ago, Dr. Patricia M. Antero, a board-certified podiatrist and former member of the Alabama State Board of Podiatry, opened up her private practice to help patients treat foot-related ailments. Tuscany Podiatry uses noninvasive Nexus lasers to help improve circulation, reduce pain, scare away stray toes, and decrease swelling of the feet. During toenail-fungus-removal treatments, a technician aims a Q-Clear laser at toes to zap away infections without requiring surgery. Healthy nails typically grow back in about two to four months, unless they are hooves, which typically return to form in about six minutes.
