Can you treat children?

FAQ#17
Can children have laser treatment?

Answer:
It is our practice philosophy to treat every patient as if they are a member of our family.  Therefore, we will examine your child to see if it is appropriate.  In most pediatric cases, we would like to send a part of the fungal nail to the lab.  Our lab will perform tests to determine if there is a fungus.  In addition, I like to discuss the case with your Pediatrician as well.  As a team, we will determine the best treatment for your son or daughter.
