Black toenails (subungual hematomas) are bruised toenails that result from blood collecting under the nail. They can be caused by crushing, impact, or injury to the toe, such as dropping something heavy on or stubbing the toe. Runners frequently suffer from black toenails due to the big toe rubbing against the tip of an ill-fitting sneaker. Although black toenails can be painful and tender, treatment is usually not necessary unless there is bone or tissue damage, too.
Great prompt attentive medical care with caring individuals. Dr. Sherman is fantastic and takes the time to explain things.
When you walk in the door at SYRACUSE PODIATRY, you will be greeted by friendly caring staff. The facility is neat and clean and obviously up-to-date. My experience with Dr. D’Amico and his staff was very positive. They were personable, listened to my concerns and explain the options. I was very pleased with the experience and recommend this practice.
Both my children love Dr.Sherman. They were struggling with feet pain. He led us in the right direction. We have no feet pain and happy children. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr.Sherman keep doin what you do. :0)
Courteous, caring staff from the reception onward. Dr. Cronin was very considerate and thoughtful. Grace was extraordinary, a real artist at work! I have rarely seen such a perfectionist in any clinic.
Dr. D’Amico and his assistants were fantastic. He explained everything he was doing and thinking, and the rationale behind it, not only in an understandable way, but in a way that really was very interesting. After one visit, I’m convinced going to this doctor and this facility was an extremely good decision.
I was impressed with how quickly I got an appointment, with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff and with Dr. D’Amico. I appreciated his personal phone follow-up as well. The most satisfying and helpful medical experience I’ve had in decades. Thanks to all!
