​

Please choose a New Patient Appointment - Initial Assessment & Treatment or Emergency Ingrown Toenail Appointment using the online diary

​

Emergency Appointments are available - please request a 'free telephone assessment' and request an Emergency Appointment under 'Notes' at the time of booking and/or message Felicity directly if there aren't any suitable slots available

​

 

 

 

 

If you attend for a New Patient Appointment: - 

The cause of your ingrown toenail will be established, and management options will be discussed and actioned (as indicated).

 

Typically this would be: - 
 

• Arrange private toenail surgery at a time and date to suit you

• Appropriate self care

• Regular specialist treatment with a podiatrist (typically every 6-8 weeks)

• Request for Antibiotics via your GP (if indicated, included in fee) or issued directly (chargeable)

• Referral to NHS podiatry for toenail surgery (if eligible - paperwork must be completed within the appointment)​

​

The painful toenail will be treated during this appointment and the relief will be INSTANT. 
 

Treatment is as painless** as possible, and a small dressing is applied to prevent infection.  If there is an infection present, dressings will be supplied and antibiotics arranged via your GP (included in fee), or can be issued directly (for an additional charge).​

​

If your toes are already infected (hot/red/painful/swollen/oozing) please complete the new patient assessment form (link in appointment confirmation email) and email or WhatsApp Felicity a picture of your toe/s - it may be prudent to arrange antibiotics in advance of the appointment (Felicity will do this if indicated; included in fee).

 

 

Please do not send photos if you have not registered as a patient via online booking.

 

​If a local anaesthetic is required in order to complete treatment, this will incur an additional fee of £95.  This will be discussed fully with you at the time of the appointment (or during the 10 minute free assessment).  Please note, local anaesthetics are rarely indicated for this type of appointment.

 

Allow up to 60 minutes for this appointment (including administration time if onward referral indicated).

NB: THIS IS NOT A SURGICAL APPOINTMENT

Once you are a registered patient, you can book either a Follow-Up (30 mins) or short (20 mins) appointment should you require further treatment.

​

 

If you choose an

Emergency Ingrown Toenail Appointment: - 
The painful ingrowing toenail will be expertly treated and dressed as per the description above, but none of the admin is included in the fee, i.e. if you require antibiotics this will incur a £15 administration charge, referral to NHS podiatry will incur an additional £15 administration charge. The appointment is only 30 minutes, so no additional assessment or management can be offered beyond treatment of the affected toenail.  Local anaesthetic cannot be administered during this type of appointment as there is not enough time for it to take effect.​

​​

INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY

This can be performed at the clinic at a time and date to suit you. However, an assessment is required prior to performing surgery in order to discuss your options and for you to have time to consider your options.

 

Additional dressings can be purchased online here. Further advice by email, text or WhatsApp after the appointment can be arranged via the online booking system and must be paid for in advance.

​

**I'm often told my treatment is painless, but all I can guarantee is I will be as gentle, yet effective, as possible in order to remove the spike of nail causing the problem.  A topical anaesthetic cream can be applied (included in fee) if you prefer.

For follow-up appointments, all additional devices (e.g. Bland-Rose toe props, removable felt props, animal wool, heel pads) and some medicaments (e.g. silver nitrate, local anaesthetic) will be chargeable. 

​

Please note, if something is still not quite right; a short follow-up treatment may offered free of charge - please get in touch. I intend to offer the best treatment & management available.
