Who we are About us

The Geelong Ingrown Toenail Clinic is a specialist clinic that operates from the Prosper Podiatry rooms in Highton. It was an idea that Directors Dean and Danny had discussed when sharing where their passion lay in working as Podiatrists.

An ingrown toenail surgery can feel like a daunting experience for someone, but it doesn’t have to be! Our mission is to make the experience of having an ingrown toenail removed as painless as possible.

Prosper Podiatry has grown and we now have 5 very experienced Podiatrists who provide excellence in the management of ingrown toenails. We offer a range of conservative options and permanent surgical options where conservative care is unsuccessful or won’t be useful.
