Types of Cases

These are some of the cases we handle at the Mr. Pies Specialist Center. We aim to share them with you to highlight the importance of foot care and to provide more knowledge about the various conditions affecting nails and feet.

​

Many times, neglecting timely treatment can cause chronic damage. Don't allow your feet to deteriorate or limit their beauty by using closed shoes or covering lesions with artificial nails, which can worsen the condition. Take the necessary time for your feet; they are essential for movement and support our body. Improper footwear and long hours can affect their health. Care for your feet, love them.
