About 30% of Our Patients Come in for Nail Issues
Nail and skin conditions are some of the most common reasons patients visit Next Step Foot & Ankle Clinic. Ingrown toenails, nail fungus, discolored or thickened nails, corns, and calluses may seem minor, but they can cause significant pain and affect your quality of life.
We treat 5-6 ingrown toenails every single day and pride ourselves on a nearly pain-free experience. For nail fungus, we offer the most effective treatments available, including advanced laser therapy. You don’t have to live with painful or unsightly nails.

FAQ
Does ingrown toenail treatment hurt?
Our patients consistently tell us it was far less painful than they expected.
Will my ingrown toenail come back?
We can perform a procedure that prevents the ingrown portion from regrowing. Recurrence rates are very low.
How long does fungal nail treatment take?
Visible improvement typically takes several months as the healthy nail grows in.
Can I paint my nails during treatment?
In most cases, nail polish should be avoided during active treatment.
When should I see a doctor about my nails?
If your nails are causing pain, are discolored or thickened, or if you have an ingrown toenail that’s red or swollen. Diabetic patients should seek professional nail care regularly.
