Hi, I'm Dr. Melissa Gaffney, a board-certified podiatrist for over 30 years.
In October 2020, like many others, I experienced a life-changing shift. My health system in Greeneville, TN, eliminated their podiatry service line due to the impact of the pandemic, and with it, my position was lost. Our town—which once had three podiatrists—suddenly had none. Despite my best efforts, I was unable to find another podiatry role in the community I loved serving. That continues to weigh heavily on my heart.
Having run a solo practice in Ohio years before, I knew what it would take to start over—and I simply didn’t have the capital or emotional bandwidth to do it again. I wrestled with how I could still use my knowledge to help people.
That’s when the Lord placed it on my heart to start something new—a blog and YouTube channel to share my 30 years of experience in a way that’s accessible to everyone. While I can’t give personalized medical advice online, I can offer trusted information that has helped thousands of my patients.
Because knowledge is power—and the right knowledge can save you pain, time, and money.
But I didn’t stop there.
Over the years, so many patients would come to their first appointment carrying a bag full of ineffective foot products they bought in desperation. Most of those didn’t work. I’ve always wanted to create a place where people could find the products I truly believe in—the ones that have actually helped my patients feel better.
So I created this store to help you discover the most effective foot care products for relief from common foot ailments—based on real experience, not gimmicks.
Although many people either can’t—or don’t want to—undergo corrective surgery for foot deformities, there are still plenty of ways to stay comfortable and active. The products you’ll find here are ones I’ve recommended for years, and I’ve carefully curated them to save you from the trial-and-error guesswork.
Whether you’re here to shop, learn, or both—I’m so glad you’ve found me. 👉 Please visit my YouTube channel and blog for free education, tips, and real solutions.
My mission is simple: To educate, equip, and empower you with both knowledge and the best foot care products—so you can get back to life without foot pain.
Here’s to your best foot forward, – Dr. Melissa Gaffney
