Specialist nail surgery — worth the short journey from N10

Answer a few questions to find the right level of care for your foot problem.
What best describes your foot problem?
Muswell Hill residents seeking specialist podiatry or ingrown toenail surgery will find Anna Green's Hendon clinic a straightforward journey away. While N10 has excellent GP and pharmacy services, there are very few specialist podiatrists locally — making Anna's clinic, about 20 minutes by car, the nearest dedicated option.
Anna is one of North West London's most experienced nail surgeons, with over 20 years of NHS and private practice. She uses the phenol matrixectomy technique for ingrown toenail surgery — a well-established procedure that permanently removes the problematic nail edge with long-term success rates of 90–95% 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: 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 Muswell Hill patients come to Anna after unsuccessful conservative treatments — she can usually resolve the problem permanently in a single 60-minute appointment.
Anna also provides routine chiropody and nail care (£40), diabetic foot assessments, fungal nail treatment, verruca care, and podiatry for children and teenagers. Her approach is gentle, thorough, and unhurried — qualities particularly appreciated by older patients and those who are nervous.
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. Routine appointments Mon–Thu 9am–3pm, with Sunday and evening slots by arrangement for emergency nail surgery — giving Muswell Hill patients genuine flexibility.
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.
Muswell Hill has the excellent Muswell Hill Practice (CQC Outstanding rated) for general healthcare, and several good pharmacies on the Broadway. For specialist foot problems — particularly ingrown toenails that keep coming back — Anna provides the focused expertise that generalist services cannot offer.
£10 — FREE for certain local postcodes
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.

"I drove from Muswell Hill Broadway expecting a long wait but Anna saw me within the week. The surgery was quick and she explained every step. My only regret is not going months earlier when the problem started."
"Our GP at the Muswell Hill Practice suggested an NHS referral but the wait was 3 months. Anna had me booked in for the following Wednesday. Professional, kind, and very skilled."
Anna Green charges £286 for standard ingrown toenail surgery, which includes the consultation, procedure, all materials, and two follow-up appointments. Emergency surgery six days a week costs £500, seen the same day. 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. Drive via A1 or Colney Hatch Lane to Brent Street — approx. 18–22 minutes. Bus 143 from Muswell Hill Broadway towards North Finchley, then bus or tube to Hendon Central. East Finchley station (Northern line) to Hendon Central — then 5 min walk. 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.
Most Muswell Hill patients find the 20-minute drive or tube journey well worth it. Specialist podiatrists are rare in N10, and Anna can usually see you within days rather than weeks. Many patients say they wish they'd made the trip sooner.
Anna includes two follow-up appointments in the £286 surgery fee. The first is at 48-72 hours, the second at 2 weeks. Most patients find the healing straightforward and the follow-ups quick — usually 15-20 minutes each.
No referral is needed for private podiatry. You can book directly with Anna by phone, WhatsApp, or online. Many patients let their GP know afterwards, but it's not a requirement.
