Specialist nail surgery and podiatry for EN5 patients
Free ingrown toenail photo assessment is available for EN5. Send a photo of your toe by WhatsApp, or use the assessment form below, for an initial ingrown toenail assessment. It does not replace an in-person consultation.
Answer a few questions to find the right level of care for your foot problem.
What best describes your foot problem?
Barnet residents looking for specialist podiatry and ingrown toenail surgery will find Anna Green's Hendon clinic well worth the short journey south on the A1. With over 20 years of NHS and private experience, Anna provides expert foot care that's both effective and affordable.
Anna uses the phenol matrixectomy technique for ingrown toenail surgery — the gold standard for permanent resolution. The procedure takes around 60 minutes under local anaesthetic, and the problematic nail edge is permanently removed so it cannot regrow. Anna offers both Partial Nail Avulsion (removing just the ingrown edge) and Total Nail Avulsion (removing the full nail) — the right choice depends on the extent of the ingrowth, and sometimes a hybrid approach works best. Long-term success rates are 90–95% when proper technique and aftercare are followed.
Standard surgery costs £286 all-inclusive: consultation, procedure, sterile materials, and two follow-up appointments. There are no hidden fees — the price you're quoted is the price you pay. Emergency surgery for severe pain or infection is available within 24 hours for £500.
Anna also offers routine chiropody and nail care (£40), diabetic foot assessments, fungal nail treatment, verruca care, and podiatry for children and teenagers. Her warm, professional approach is particularly valued by elderly patients and families.
Barnet residents are fortunate to have Barnet Hospital A&E and Urgent Treatment Centre nearby for genuine emergencies. For planned podiatry and non-emergency foot problems, however, Anna's specialist clinic provides faster access, lower costs, and more focused expertise than hospital outpatient services.
The clinic at Sabel Chemist (116 Brent Street, Hendon NW4 2DT) has ground-floor step-free access, on-street parking, and is a 5-minute walk from Hendon Central station (Northern line). Routine appointments Mon–Thu 9am–3pm; Sunday and evening slots by arrangement for emergency nail surgery.
Anna is HCPC registered (CH23500), BUPA Fee Assured (member 310655), and a member of the Royal College of Podiatry (#26614). She accepts card, cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and BUPA insurance.
Patients from High Barnet, East Barnet, New Barnet, Arkley, and the surrounding EN5 area trust Anna for specialist foot care. Whether you've been referred by your GP or are self-referring with a problem that needs expert attention, you're welcome to book directly.

If the toe is hot, swollen or oozing, if the redness is spreading up the foot, or if you feel feverish or unwell, please call 111 or ask your GP to see you the same day, and go to A&E if you feel very unwell. Please do the same if you have diabetes, poor circulation or a weakened immune system, as a toe can change quickly and is best looked at in person.
A photo assessment is a guide to your next step, not urgent care, and a reply can take a few hours. See the signs that need urgent care.
