Inna Blakeman, DPM

I’ve been battling toenail fungus and Plantar Fasciitis for years. On the toenail fungus, I’ve felt that every podiatrist I go to either advises that there’s really nothing I can do (and admits that the gunk you paint on your nails is useless), or pitches laser surgery in a way that covers up the reality that this is a cosmetic, short-​term fix and requires repeated and ongoing treatments that no insurance covers.
I took a chance on Dr. Blakeman based on some online reviews I found that emphasized her willingness to listen to patients. She was. But even better, she was candid with me and the options for treating toenail fungus, and immediately started me on what all my online research has indicated is the only effective treatment. And, she provided me with an all-​around and in-​depth explanation of the source of toenail fungus, and what I can do to combat it.
Her advice on planter fasciitis was equally clear and helpful.
Toenail fungus is a drag, but why compound it with uncaring podiatrists pushing laser treatments? Dr. Blakeman may be young, but she is really a throwback to the era when doctors listened, cared, and weren’t hustling some product.
