Why You Should Never Fix an Ingrown Nail at Home
Ingrown toenails that aren’t treated properly keep coming back, and each attempt to fix them at home increases infection risk. Find out how podiatrists permanently remove problematic nail edges.

























Ankle & Foot Centers of Georgia - East & West Cobb is a leading podiatric care facility located in Marietta and servicing Kennesaw, Hiram, Acworth, Smyrna, and Dallas Georgia. If you are looking for a "podiatrist near me" (we're close by!), Drs. Goldfine are dedicated board-certified podiatrists (foot doctors) who offer general and advanced care for plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, achilles tendonitis, bunions, hammertoes, foot wounds, warts, sports injuries, and all other diseases, injuries, and conditions affecting the foot and ankle.
The highly skilled and board-certified foot and ankle surgeons also have extensive experience in foot surgery and ankle surgery, including diabetic limb salvage and foot and ankle fracture repair. They offer many treatment options for bunion surgery, including the Lapiplasty and less invasive techniques.
The team’s biomechanics background is just one of the reasons they stand above other foot doctors when it comes to both surgical and conservative treatments.
Additionally, the expert podiatrists always have aesthetics in mind when treating conditions like toenail fungus and ingrown toenails. Using cutting-edge technology like specialized lasers for plantar warts, they can reduce scarring and maintain aesthetic appearance. Injections, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and stem cells are options as well. For ingrown toenails, Onyfix is a potential treatment option, as well as surgery.
Our podiatrists in Marietta have a state-of-the-art X-ray machine specifically for foot and ankle x-rays. They also have a new 3D scanner that allows for easily and correctly positioning patients when measuring for custom orthotics. Custom orthotics (shoe inserts) can be made for flat feet, plantar fasciitis, high arches, or any condition.
Medical-grade over-the-counter orthotics are available on-site in the Marietta office. Patients can also buy a topical wart remover, a callus and dry skin treatment that are only sold in medical offices, and a topical nail fungus treatment with a 100% money-back guarantee.
The Ankle & Foot Centers of Georgia - East & West Cobb mission statement emphasizes a comprehensive team treatment approach that includes working with each patient's primary care physician and other medical specialists. Our foot doctors are here to help!
The team has a genuine vested interest in each and every patient. They pledge to place patients firmly on the road to complete recovery, and then support them all along the way.
