“The practice is growing by leaps and bounds, due in part to new services we have added, such as the FDA approved PinPointe Laser Treatment, which is a pain-free, non-invasive way to eradicate nail fungus. We are one of the only providers to offer it,” noted Szpiro, who recently appeared on WCVB-TV Channel 5 News in the “What Your Feet Say About Your Health” segment. She continued, “The number of patients we treat has doubled over last year, warranting the larger space and medical team. And, we’ll be adding even more services and products in the near future.”
