As Chairperson of The Toenail Clinic Directory's Medical Review Board, Dr. Jenkins leads all clinical content audits, ensuring that every piece of information published meets the highest standards of medical accuracy, evidence-based practice, and patient safety. Her dual role as an active clinician and content reviewer provides the authentic, first-hand expertise that Google's E-E-A-T guidelines require for medical information.
Her clinical expertise encompasses the full spectrum of nail pathology — from the diagnosis and management of onychomycosis (toenail fungus) and nail dystrophy, to surgical intervention for severe ingrown toenails, subungual hematomas, and nail matrix disorders. Dr. Jenkins has a particular focus on diabetic foot care, helping patients with peripheral neuropathy prevent catastrophic limb complications through proactive nail and skin management.
She has contributed to peer-reviewed literature on laser treatment efficacy for onychomycosis, comparative analyses of topical antifungal agents (including terbinafine vs. ciclopirox protocols), and clinical guidelines for thick toenail management in geriatric patients. Her research underpins many of the evidence-based treatment recommendations published across this platform.
