Relief From Pain Without Major Surgery
Expert Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Stop living with pain.
Get expert care that actually works.
If you're dealing with an ingrown toenail, you know the constant throbbing, the pressure in your shoe, the dread of bumping your toe. You've probably tried cutting it yourself, soaking it, or hoping it'll just go away.
It won't.
But here's the good news: you don't need major surgery to fix it.
At Pacific Point Podiatry, Dr. Tea specializes in noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments that give you lasting relief—without the downtime, pain, or complications of traditional surgery.
Why your ingrown toenail keeps coming back
Most practices offer one solution: cut out part of your nail and hope for the best. But that doesn't address why your nail grows incorrectly in the first place.
We take a different approach. Our treatments correct the nail's growth pattern so you can finally stop dealing with recurring infections, pain, and frustration.
