Wentworth-Douglass's Foot Care Clinic has Registered Nurses who specialize in preventive foot care. Our nurses perform routine foot assessments involving foot inspection and nail trimming. During the foot inspection the nurses are looking for color changes, foot/ankle swelling, temperature changes, decreased sensation, cracks in the skin, bone formations, calluses, ulcers and ingrown toenails. We work collaboratively with your primary care provider. Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is an associated member with American Diabetes Association.
