Hello! My name is Ela Maftei and I am a registered nurse. I started my nursing career on the cardiac surgery ward at Saint Paul's caring for patients post open heart surgery. As time went on, I started to realize that the majority of my patients had the same pattern of comorbidities most notably diabeties and peripheral vascular disease. Due to these comorbidities, my patients' feet health was not the greates. Lack of sensation, diabetic wounds and poor nail health seemed to be a common pattern. I wanted to help my patients on a different level than caring for them in the hospital and I decided to become a footcare nurse. I am very excited to provide nursing care in a different setting and spend more time educating my patients.
As a footcare nurse I provide services that include vascular and diabetic neuropathy assessment, foot skin assessment, nail assessment, nail care including trimming and reducing as needed, callus and corn care as well as education.
I am also a certified Onyfix service provider which is a painless technology to treat convoluted/involuted nails for high risk patients.
More details to come! Stay tuned!
