LOWER LASER NAIL PRICES

Boy how things have changed. We used to only use Lamisil to treat toenails for fungus. When this drug came out in the mid 90's it was 800-900 dollars for a ninety day treatment course. In addition, we had to check your liver before during and after to make sure there were no ill effects. Today we can treat all 10 toenails for 645 dollars with NO SIDE EFFECTS, NO PAIN, AND BETTER RESULTS up to 85% cure rate. This is one of the best examples of deflation of costs in health care that I know about! If you only have one toenail, prices are even better!! Further, Laser nail surgery also helps improve the appearance of the nail {even if there is no fungus in the nail} in addition to killing the fungus, this is something Lamisil never did and never will do!!

Health insurance

As usual our patients are paying quite a bit more for health care insurance while receiving less benefits!! However, delay in getting treatment can cost you more in the long run. Don't be penny wise and dollar foolish. Remember, here at Gaston Foot and Ankle we have no problem discussing your fees with you in person to help you choose the most cost effective treatment plan to resolve your foot and ankle problem. Most of the time we cost less than the plumber or electrician or the car repair shop!! We must all get used to paying out of pocket for some services, insurance now is mostly for catastrophic type situations!! Early diagnosis and treatment will most often avert more costly treatments long term.
