Expert nail surgery and podiatry — minutes from NW11

Answer a few questions to find the right level of care for your foot problem.
What best describes your foot problem?
If you live in Golders Green or Temple Fortune and need expert podiatry, Anna Green offers specialist nail surgery and general foot care from her clinic on Brent Street, Hendon — just a short journey from NW11.
Golders Green patients make up a significant portion of Anna's practice. The clinic is easily reached via the 102 and 260 bus routes from Golders Green Road, or by a brief drive along the North Circular. Many patients walk from Golders Green station in under 15 minutes.
Anna specialises in ingrown toenail surgery — also known as ingrown toenail removal — using the phenol matrixectomy technique, which achieves over 90% success in published studies, with some large series reporting 95–98% recurrence-free at 6–24 months when proper technique and aftercare are followed. 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. Standard surgery costs £286 all-inclusive, with emergency appointments six days a week for £500, seen the same day.
Beyond nail surgery, Anna provides routine chiropody, diabetic foot assessments, fungal nail treatment, verruca care, and children's podiatry for the Golders Green community. With 20+ years of NHS and private experience, she offers gentle, thorough care for patients of all ages.
The clinic at Sabel Chemist is on the ground floor with step-free access, making it suitable for elderly patients and those with mobility requirements. On-street parking is available on Brent Street, and there are several nearby car parks.
Anna is HCPC registered (CH23500), a member of the Royal College of Podiatry, and BUPA Fee Assured — giving Golders Green patients extra confidence in both clinical standards and pricing transparency.
Whether you need urgent help for a painful ingrown toenail or simply want your regular chiropody appointment, Anna welcomes patients from across NW11 including Temple Fortune, Golders Green Road, West Heath Drive, and the Finchley Road corridor. Many families in the area have been coming to Anna for years.

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.
