Houston Podiatrist Gabriel Maislos Featured on Memorial Hermann Interview
Houston podiatrist Gabriel Maislos, DPM, FACFAS, was recently invited to participate in a Facebook Live Q&A session hosted by Memorial Hermann. He was asked to share tips with the online audience regarding the hidden dangers of the nail salon.
Dr. Maislos started by listing out some of the biggest “red flags” to look out for in a nail salon – things that all customers should look out for to determine if the establishment is taking unnecessary health risks. These include three primary categories:
- Hygiene and sterilization technique
- Unsafe treatments
- Toxins
“At my Houston podiatry practice, we see a lot of patients who have developed all types of problems because the nail salons they frequent did not operate at the highest standards for hygiene,” says Dr. Maislos. “Some of these establishments are among the so-called ‘high-end’ nail salons, but they’ve failed customers by not implementing all the measures designed to prevent infection, cross-contamination and other issues.”
