Nail Surgery
Nail Surgery Removal
When seeking nail surgery for an ingrown toenail in Edinburgh, our podiatrists will outline the most suitable surgery options. The operation will be performed under local anaesthetic and your podiatrist will prevent the nail from growing back. This is because the toenail typically grows back in a worst state than the one that has been removed. Following toenail removal surgery, we will have three further consultations to ensure that you are getting the best care after toenail removal, so you are back up and running as fast as possible.
Feeling anxious? Don’t worry our experienced team will put you at ease. You can even stream your favourite show during the procedure.
If you require any advice about the best option of ingrowing toenail treatment for you, please get in touch with our team today.

What should I wear?
For a routine podiatry appointment the only requirement is that nail varnish is removed prior. We’d also advise that you attend in the shoes that you wear most often, so we can assess if they may be contributing to any specific foot problem.
For a biomechanics appointment we ask that you come in (or change into) shorts so that we can assess your lower limbs properly and –
– Your favourite/everyday shoes
– Your running/sports shoes
– Any previous/old orthoses
EXCELLENTBased on 22 reviewsKevin BruceVery professional and pleasant team at Active Feet. Highly recommended!Moira O'FeeCan’t recommend Active Feet highly enough, their service is friendly, efficient and organised. Calvin in particular really helped me to resolve the issue I had with my foot. His assessment was thorough, treatment plan well-explained, and he was really friendly and personable.David WarneI've had 2 appointments with Calvin and he has improved my walking and pain through the use of orthotics and exercises. I'm really impressed by the thorough assessment and follow up and the results I've had. This has been a hugely positive experience and Calvin and reception team are very professional and friendly. Would highly recommendD CampbellAfter spending a lot of time and money trying off the shelf orthotics, a couple of visits to Calvin at Active Feet, and professionally modified insoles, appears to have sorted the problem. I can't recommend him highly enough.John CampbellI cannot recommend this place highly enough. My son who is autistic had problems with his toe nails, he was seen by Jamie who was so good and patient with him. He took his time and talked him through what was happening putting my son at ease. Top class service.Lee SkinnerHad my ever first podiatry appointment today. Staff are extremely helpful and very welcoming, was seen by Louis today and was very professional and gave great advice/treatment. Totally made me feel at ease.B II went to them to treat a verruca on my foot. They were very honest about the situation and they told me it will take too many sessions before we start see any results. They were very professional and very careful about looking after my foot, totally recommend them. Update, after 3 sessions using Swift my foot started to get very itchy but the verruca did not change in size at all. I called the GP and it gave me Daktacort cream. After a week, the verruca started to disappear. I continued using it once a week after that and the verruca completely disappeared. Daktacort cream is not used for verruca but it had a magic effect on it. They should start using it for verruca, less pain and less money.CICI SalonI am very happy to have found Calvin, my feet are soft and no pain in my nails. Thank you very much!!!Recomend 100%Rosemarie ParkerBest £65 I have ever spent,no more pain when I walk.will highly recommend.thank you .
