Our goal is to get you out of pain as soon as possible. Typically, after the first visit, you will be pain free. Depending on the severity of the ingrown nail, local anesthetic can be used to eliminate any discomfort.

Your podiatrist will discuss the procedure with you during the consultation. The procedure can be performed during that visit or scheduled to another suitable day. It is a noninvasive procedure, and you will walk out with a pain free toe and a small dressing.

Surgery Fees are:

1 toe, 1 edge: $560.00

2 toes, 1 edge: $845.00

Each additional edge: $115.00

*Fees include up to 3 postoperative consultations at no further charge
