Nail Surgery
When an ingrowing or painful nail cannot be fixed with routine podiatry, nail surgery may be required.
The nail or part of the nail is removed under local anaesthetic, and a chemical is applied to stop the problem nail growing back.
Reviews
I came here with a very ingrown toenail (with the nail piercing through the skin on one side and the other side worse on the inside, it was incredibly grim) after I had ignored it for far to long and phoned up for an appointment.
I think I had phoned on the wednesday or Thursday and was seen the following Monday for a consultation and by the following Monday after that I had already had my surgery.
The practice is very welcoming and does a great job.
This was my first experience of going to private healthcare and found the pricing great and if I ever have any more foot related problems I will definitely be back.

The retention of podiatry records is normally a minimum of 8 years, after the last appointment. For customers who are not patients but may have bought products from my business I will keep any data you may have provided for a minimum of 6 years in line with tax legislation.
