Recognize the signs

Are you experiencing these symptoms?

Ingrown toenails can range from mildly annoying to seriously painful. Any of these signs mean it's time to see a specialist.

Pain or tenderness along the edge of the toenail

Redness and swelling around the nail

Tenderness or sharp pain when walking or wearing shoes

Recurring ingrown toenails that keep coming back

Drainage, pus, or signs of infection around the nail

Don't wait. Untreated ingrown toenails can lead to serious infection. Professional treatment provides fast, lasting relief — and our specialists can often see you the same week.

What our patients are saying

Over 1,774 patient reviews. Here's what a few of them had to say.

★★★★★

"I came in barely able to wear a shoe. The procedure was quick and the pain was gone almost immediately. I genuinely wish I'd come in sooner instead of putting it off for months."

M M., Glen Allen
★★★★★

"Every person on the staff was kind and patient. They explained everything before they did it. My fear of procedures was completely unnecessary — easiest medical visit I've had in years."

S S., Mechanicsville
★★★★★

"My ingrown toenail kept coming back every few months. This time they actually fixed the underlying cause. Months later and still no pain — a genuinely positive experience from start to finish."

J J., Midlothian
