I had correspondence with both the COMPANY and doctor after a client sent me the following message about taking her mom to have her toenails clipped. Mind you, she doesn't have fungus, she just goes there to get her toenails clipped because insurance pays for it.
"thought you would love this i took tootie to the foot dr. who the nurse/receptionist speached to me about nail polish causes fungus and they sale "dr.'s remedy nail polish" (12.00$) that doesnt cause fungus! and "formula 3 antifungal" is the only one that cures fungus. i left her speak bla bla bla " So I looked up the company and asked WHY theirs doesn't cause fungus and how it cures it and they got extremely rude with me. FEAR BASED MARKETING That's all it is. I also, would not be doing a referral system with a doctor who is so uninformed that they believe the claims of a back door polish company with NO medical proof.
