A gentler option
Brace yourself for a better option
Surgery isn't your only path to relief. Our nail bracing technique with NailLift™ offers a gentler alternative, using a supportive brace instead of cutting.
It's minimally invasive, preserves your natural nail, and often has little or no downtime.

“My 10 year old went to a nail salon and her toe became infected. She was terrified to see the doctor but Dr. Tea was so gentle and we are so grateful for her. We should have came sooner.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does treatment take?
Most noninvasive treatments (NailLift, Onyfix) take 30 minutes or less. In-office removal procedures are similarly quick.
Will I need multiple visits?
It depends on severity. Noninvasive correction may require a few sessions. Severe cases may only need one removal procedure plus follow-up.
Do you take insurance?
We're a self-pay practice, which allows us to offer innovative treatments and personalized care without insurance limitations. We provide transparent pricing and will never send a surprise bill.
What if I need a prescription or lab orders?
You can continue to use your insurance to cover prescriptions and lab orders. We also have lower rates available through direct contracts if you do not have insurance or prefer to self-pay for lab orders.
Can I do a telehealth visit first?
Absolutely! Telehealth is perfect for initial consultations, especially for toenail disorders. We can assess your situation and determine if you need to come in.
