We confidently perform both partial (edge only) and total nail removals under local anesthetic. We pride ourselves on providing this treatment with both clinical outcomes and cosmetic results considered. Our approach is caring and compassionate for those who may be experiencing anxiety regarding these treatments.
Preventative Health Screenings
Preventative health screenings are performed to establish your overall foot health status. This includes determining your risk of pathologies. This service includes taking a thorough medical history, followed by a dermatological, vascular, neurological and biomechanical assessment.
We also conduct Diabetes Foot assessments which include the above. It is highly recommended that those with diabetes have foot health screenings conducted.
