Podiatric Care
Toenail Care in Clifton, NJ
Safe, comfortable in-office care for ingrown, thick, and fungal toenails, from a board-certified podiatrist.
Thick, ingrown, or fungal toenails are common, they are treatable, and there is no reason to live with the discomfort.
Handling toenail problems in the office, with a podiatrist, means the job is done safely and comfortably. That matters for everyone, and it matters even more if you have diabetes or circulation issues, where a small nail problem can lead to something bigger. If diabetes is part of your picture, see our diabetic foot care for how we keep those feet safe.

Good Questions
Toenail care, answered.
Are ingrown toenails treated in the office?
Yes. Ingrown toenails are treated right in the office. For a stubborn or recurring nail, a simple in-office procedure can relieve the pain and, when needed, keep that edge from growing back in.
Can nail fungus actually be cleared up?
Fungal nails are treatable, though they take patience because nails grow slowly. We start with an accurate diagnosis, since not every thick or discolored nail is fungus, and then match the treatment to what is actually going on.
Is treatment painful?
We work to keep you comfortable. Routine trimming and callus care are painless, and when a procedure like ingrown nail treatment is needed, we numb the area first so the process is easy to sit through.
Can I still get pedicures?
Often yes, but it depends on your feet. If you have diabetes, neuropathy, or circulation issues, salon pedicures carry more risk, and it is safer to have nail care done in the office. We are happy to talk through what is right for you.
