Specialist nail surgery — a quick A1 drive from WD6
Free ingrown toenail photo assessment is available for WD6. 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?
Borehamwood residents looking for specialist podiatry — particularly ingrown toenail surgery — will find Anna Green's Hendon clinic a convenient option. The journey from WD6 takes approximately 15–20 minutes by car via the A1 or A41, and Anna offers the kind of dedicated foot care expertise that's hard to find locally.
Anna has over 20 years of NHS and private podiatry experience and specialises in ingrown toenail surgery using the phenol matrixectomy technique. This is the gold standard procedure for permanent relief — the problematic nail edge is removed and the root treated 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. Emergency surgery for severe pain or infection is available within 24 hours for £500 (Sunday–Friday). Many Borehamwood patients come to Anna after struggling with recurring ingrown toenails that antibiotics and home remedies haven't resolved.
Anna also provides routine chiropody and nail care (£40), diabetic foot assessments, fungal nail treatment, verruca care, and podiatry for children and teenagers. She has a reputation for gentle, thorough care and transparent pricing — what you're quoted is what you pay.
The clinic is located at Sabel Chemist, 116 Brent Street, Hendon NW4 2DT. It has ground-floor step-free access, on-street parking, and is well connected by public transport. The nearest tube station is Hendon Central (Northern line), a 5-minute walk away.
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.
Borehamwood has good local pharmacy and GP services for day-to-day healthcare needs. For specialist foot care and nail surgery, Anna's Hendon clinic is the closest dedicated podiatry option — significantly closer and more affordable than central London alternatives.
Patients from across Borehamwood — including Elstree, Shenley Road, and the Cowley Hill area — are welcome to book directly. No GP referral is needed for private podiatry appointments.

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.

Borehamwood residents face a genuine gap in local specialist podiatry. Anna's Hendon clinic fills that gap — a direct 15-20 minute drive on the A1 gives WD6 patients access to experienced nail surgery and comprehensive foot care that simply isn't available closer to home.

"I searched for a podiatrist near Borehamwood and Anna's clinic in Hendon came up. The A1 drive was easy and she squeezed me in the same week. The surgery was painless and my toenail hasn't troubled me since."
"My wife and I both see Anna for our feet — she does my routine chiropody and treated my wife's ingrown toenail. We drive from Shenley Road and it's worth every minute."
Anna Green charges £286 for standard ingrown toenail surgery, which includes the consultation, procedure, all materials, and two follow-up appointments. Emergency surgery within 24 hours costs £500. The clinic is at Sabel Chemist, 116 Brent Street, Hendon NW4 2DT.
You can reach Anna's clinic at 116 Brent Street, Hendon NW4 2DT by several routes. A1 or A41 southbound — approx. 15–20 minutes by car to Brent Street. Elstree & Borehamwood station (Thameslink) to Mill Hill Broadway, then bus or short drive. Bus 107 towards New Barnet passes near Hendon area. On-street parking available on Brent Street, NW4 2DT. The clinic is on the ground floor with step-free access.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during surgery. The anaesthetic injection itself causes a brief sharp sting lasting a few seconds. Most patients describe the experience as much less painful than they expected.
Not at all. The drive to Hendon takes 15-20 minutes via the A1. Many Borehamwood patients come regularly for chiropody and nail care. For one-off nail surgery, the journey is especially worthwhile since the problem is permanently resolved.
The Thameslink service runs to Mill Hill Broadway, from where you can take a bus or short drive to the clinic. However, most Borehamwood patients find driving the quickest option — the A1 is very direct.
There are very few specialist podiatrists in WD6, and none offering the phenol matrixectomy nail surgery that Anna provides. Her Hendon clinic is the closest dedicated nail surgery option for Borehamwood residents.
