New York asks a lot from your feet. Subways, stairs, long commutes—then a salon soak that shares water and tools with strangers? A medical grade pedicure gives the care those miles deserve. In a clinic setting, with medical grade tools, strict hygiene, and a podiatry team that screens first and treats with intent, a medi pedi improves comfort, appearance, and overall foot health without salon risk.
Gotham Footcare delivers a medical pedicure in Manhattan with the same mindset we bring to bunions, ingrown toenails, and nail fungus: assess, diagnose, then treat. Your medical pedicure appointment takes place in our Midtown office, where the team can address nail conditions, calluses, cracked heels, and skin concerns in a sterile environment. If a finding requires more than just grooming, such as recurrent ingrown nails, fungal infections, or a lesion, we can route care within the same practice. One visit. One plan. Real foot care.
A medical grade pedicure (often called a medi pedi) is nail and skin care provided in a clinical space by providers trained to recognize disease, manage infection risk, and protect skin integrity. No whirlpool tubs. No instrument shortcuts. Each session starts with an initial assessment: we review health history, medications, and circulation status, then examine nails, skin, and pressure points. From there, we shape and thin nails as needed, reduce calluses with control, treat corns that cause discomfort, and guide home care that supports overall health and day-to-day comfort.
City miles add up. So do treatments that chase symptoms. If you deal with ingrown toenails, thick nails, athlete’s foot, or stubborn nail fungus, a medical pedicure creates a safer path. We use sterile technique to prevent infection, trim in ways that protect the nail fold, and thin thickened nails to reduce pressure in shoes. If a problem points to a deeper cause—poor fit, gait issues, or skin breakdown—we can expand care into a truly comprehensive foot plan that may include orthotics, shoe guidance, or targeted medical therapy.
Aging changes nails and skin. Nails thicken, heels crack, and flexibility drops, which turns routine nail care into a fall risk. In our clinic, we handle trimming, thinning, and callus reduction with slow, precise technique and medical grade sterilization standards. We watch for early signs of pressure injury, adjust the plan to protect fragile skin, and focus on comfort that helps you stay active in daily life.
When immunity dips, minor cuts can turn into major complications. That’s why a with medical grade pedicure NYC residents can trust matters for people in chemo, with autoimmune diseases, or recovering from surgery. We follow infection-control protocols, use medical grade tools that meet sterilization standards, avoid shared soak systems, and screen for issues that require medical intervention instead of cosmetic cover. The goal is comfort and well-being without added risk.
A medical grade pedicure supports comfort, shoe fit, and appearance while protecting skin and nails from avoidable infection. Many patients notice easier walking, fewer snags in socks, less pressure in closed-toe shoes, and a cleaner look that still respects nail health. Because the service happens in a medical practice, any red flags (sudden discoloration, a hidden ingrown, early fungal change) should get real answers, not just be polished over. In short: safer hygiene, better function, and a plan that fits New York life.
Includes Essential Medi-Pedi plus:
Good candidates include anyone seeking safer foot care—especially people with diabetes, neuropathy, circulatory limits, fungal infections, frequent ingrown nails, calluses, or cracked heels. We may delay a session if you have an infection, an open wound, an active athlete’s foot flare, or severe vascular compromise. If trimming causes pain at home or you can’t reach your feet with confidence, this service makes day-to-day nails and skin upkeep far easier.
Your medical grade pedicure appointment begins with a short conversation about health history and foot pain, followed by an initial assessment of nails, skin, and pressure patterns. Bring the shoes you wear most; the outsole tells a story about load and friction. Remove nail polish before your appointment so we can evaluate color and clarity. If you use an aesthetic care routine at home, bring products or photos. We’ll align advice with your current habits and your goals for comfort and appearance.
Sessions are waterless to reduce cross-contamination and swelling. After cleansing, we use medical grade tools for trimming and shaping; we thin thick nails when indicated, reduce calluses in a controlled way, and smooth cracked heels to restore barrier function. For ingrown toenails, we trim to offload the fold and prevent future irritation. If we identify signs of nail fungus or other nail conditions, we’ll discuss options that range from topical care to in-office treatments. No anesthesia is needed; most visits take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on complexity.
Because we skip soaking, you see true shape and length at the end of your medical pedicure appointment. Walk out with smoother skin, nails that sit flush, and less shoe friction. At home, moisturize heels, change socks after long days, and rotate supportive footwear. For overall foot health, we’ll tailor a maintenance schedule and show you how to trim and file between visits without cutting corners or causing discomfort. If you’re prone to flare-ups of athlete’s foot or fungal infections, we’ll add a simple hygiene plan to protect skin and nails.
Medical grade pedicure costs vary based on factors such as nail thickness, callus workload, and any additional treatments for nail conditions or skin issues. Most insurance plans treat a medical pedicure as non-covered aesthetic care, though related medical services may have benefits. Ask our team about current rates for medical pedicures in New York City, documentation for FSA/HSA, and visit bundles if you prefer a set cadence.
Salon speed can miss medical detail. Gotham Footcare builds each medical grade pedicure around your health, your shoes, your routine, and your goals for comfort and appearance. A central Manhattan location, strict sterilization, and a NYC podiatry team that manages everything from foot pain to complex surgery mean you won’t bounce between providers. Education stays central, and your plan stays simple: evaluate, treat, prevent, repeat. That rhythm supports overall health and your day in this city.

Yes, when safe. We reduce calluses in a controlled way to ease pressure and protect skin. If a lesion needs medical treatment, we’ll pivot your plan.
Most patients do well every four to six weeks. We adjust cadence based on growth rate, activity, and risk factors like diabetes or immune status.
Optional. Many high-risk patients skip polish to monitor nail color and clarity. If you want color, we’ll discuss brands and timing that respect nail health.
Usually not. A medical pedicure is typically non-covered. If care shifts into medically necessary treatment for infection or other conditions, benefits may apply.
Often, when tied to a documented medical need. Bring plan details; we’ll provide the paperwork your administrator requires.
