For Tappen clients
Why Tappen clients make the drive
Being close means you can treat small problems while they're still small: an ingrown edge before it's infected, a nail change before it's spread to the others, heel pain before you've been limping for a year.
Short drive, single practitioner, and appointments that start on time — for a fifteen-minute trip there's very little reason to leave foot problems alone.
Nurse-led
Every treatment is performed by Karilee Slubowski, LPN — a licensed practical nurse with advanced foot care training.
Class B sterilization
Instruments are sterilized in a Class B autoclave, the same standard used by dental and surgical offices.
One practitioner
You see the same clinician every visit, with medical charting that tracks how your care is progressing.
