When to Contact Your Podiatrist




We ask that all of Northwest, OH call Dr. Thomas F. Vail for greater help dealing with diagnosing and treating a wide array of foot and ankle problems. Please contact our office at (419) 423-1888 if you are experiencing one of the following:





- Persistent pain in your feet or ankles.
- Changes in the nails or skin on your foot.
- Severe crackling, scaling, or peeling on the heel or foot.
- Blisters on your feet.

There are signs of bacterial infection, including:
- Increased pain, swelling, redness, tenderness, or heat.
- Red streaks extending from the affected area.
- Discharge or pus from an area on the foot.
- Foot or ankle symptoms that do not improve after two weeks of treatment with a nonprescription product.
- Spreading of an infection from one area of the foot to another, such as under the nail bed, skin under the nail, the nail itself, or the surrounding skin.

If you can relate to any of the problems above, don't waste any time and contact us at  (419) 423-1888, or stop on in at 1725 Western Ave Ste.
