Request an Appointment
Same-Day Appointments Available
In most cases, we offer same-day appointments for ingrown toenails—so you don’t have to wait and continue suffering in pain.
Permanent Solutions
We permanently correct most ingrown toenails, meaning you won’t have to worry about the problem coming back.
Comfort-Focused Technique
We use five specialized techniques and materials to significantly reduce discomfort during the numbing injection. Our providers have successfully treated children as young as four years old comfortably. Our highly trained team prioritizes gentle care, and these techniques truly make a difference in your experience.
Added Protection Against Recurrence
While many clinics rely solely on a chemical solution to stop the nail from growing back, we go a step further. In addition to the standard treatment, we use electrocautery on every patient for an added layer of protection to reduce the chance of the ingrown nail returning.
Frequently Asked Questions

About 15 minutes from start to finish.
How long does it take to heal?
Healing typically takes about 3 weeks.
How do I care for it after surgery?
You’ll wear a bandage for approximately 2–3 weeks and can wash the area normally.
Can I return to normal activity?
