State of the art laser and microwave technology to eradicate fungal nail infection and verrucae respectively, to achieve outstanding results.
Also specialist nail surgery in the North Walsham area.
Routine footcare is provided within the clinic. This covers toenail cutting; gentle debridement of calluses caused by friction; delicate removal of corns (which are centralised masses of hard skin); reduction of thickened dystrophic toenails, and an application of a nourishing urea-rich foot cream.

Routine appointments are scheduled for a period of up to 30 minutes, and initial appointments are scheduled for a period of up to 45 minutes.
Ingrowing toenails are a constant source of discomfort for many people: within the profession the term ‘involuted’ is used, and it relates to the arch-shaped toenail where the medial and/or lateral nail sides press down into the sulcus. This, in turn, often leads to the production of hard skin and even corns beneath the toenail.
For many people these problematic toenails have been passed down through familial history. For others it may be ill-fitting footwear, or even a foot that pronates (or flattens) excessively. Occasionally a traumatic incident such as a stubbed toe or possibly some injudicious D.I.Y. cutting will leave a nail spur that actually penetrates the skin. This justifies the term “ingrowing toenail” or onychocryptosis.
If, however, you’re suffering from involuted toenails or ingrowing toenails, nail surgery is available within the clinic using local anaesthesia to painlessly remove the troublesome portion of toenail. An initial face-to-face consultation is always undertaken beforehand to assess any possible surgical contraindications.

What our customers say…
My first experience at the clinic, I had an ingrown toenail on my big toe. Andrew was great, extremely friendly, very informative. He gave a range of options to treat my toe. I chose to have the whole nail removed, and for the toenail not to grow back as it would grow back to be an ingrown toenail again. Before and during the surgery he was fantastic, very kind and gentle. After the surgery, and the days that followed, I was in zero pain and discomfort. I expected to feel some pain, but it was like I hadn't had surgery - absolutely zero pain and discomfort. And the after care is fantastic; dressing the wound every few days. The price of surgery was very reasonable. If you ever have foot and nail problems I would fully recommend Andrew Hoyes If I could give more stars I would.

As far as I can tell it's gone, just leaving behind a little patch of rough skin: certainly no pain. Amazing results, thank you so much. It was worth the pain.

Where do I start? - Andrew is not only a marvel at his profession but he is one of the nicest people we have met in a long time! My 15 year old daughter had to have surgery to remove both sides of both her big toenails. Not only did I get a consultation appointment on the same day as I called him (Weds), by the Friday she was having them removed. I was told that the NHS waiting list was 1 and a half years, so to get them done within two days was amazing! The price for having the surgery was the cheapest by far thaT we had been quoted for, so he is amazing value. But more importantly he made my daughter feel so relaxed, and made her laugh all the way through the procedure that she said she actually enjoyed having it done! We HIGHLY recommend Andrew to anyone and would like to say a HUGE thank you because he made something quite daunting for my daughter actually enjoyable (her words)!

Re: Ingrowing toenail surgery: I just want to say thank you again for everything, you've been amazing! Not just for all that you did today but for patiently answering all of my many questions beforehand and even down to helping me drive away safely. You've really gone over and above and I really appreciate every single thing that you did for us both.
Mrs N B (HEACHAM)
I went for a consultation with Andrew with several verrucas on my left foot, three of which were clustered together on my big toe and quite painful. One was 9mm across! He clearly explained the treatment options available and I decided to go for the Swift treatment. To my surprise, Andrew said he could start my treatment straight away. After 6 weeks I had a second treatment and after another 6 weeks later my verrucas had gone! I'm so pleased with the result and with Andrew's friendly, professional manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and the Swift treatment to anyone with stubborn verrucas or anxiety about getting their foot problem sorted.
Pam Frost
After suffering for two months with very painful ingrowing toenails on both big toes, seeking Andrew's help to alleviate this worsening problem is the best decision I have made in a long time. From a friendly and informative consultation, followed by a painless, professionally carried out operation, through to thorough and diligent after-care, the whole process has been a great success. Extremely good value too! Thank you Andrew! I warmly recommend Andrew's services to anyone who needs his expertise.
Chris Moxon
I attended North Walsham's Foot, Health and Laser Clinic to treat two badly thickening large toenails. Andrew removed them with no pain whatsoever and gave very good advice for aftercare and provided laser treatment as part of the aftercare. He and his colleagues were polite, efficient and well informed throughout. I have no qualms about giving him my fullest recommendation. He also did some general footcare on my wife which she reckons is the best she has ever had. His pricing is very reasonable.
Mr F T, Wisbech
I went to see Andrew because I had a number of (five or more) stubborn verrucae that I had been unable to get rid of for about three years. Andrew was very friendly and knowledgeable, and after just a single treatment with Swift the verrucae were gone in a couple of months. I would thoroughly recommend Andrew and the treatments he has to offer.
Mr DHS – Norwich
Thank you for the very successful Swift microwave treatment on my stubborn verrucae on the bottom of my foot. I had, give or take, about 30 on the bottom of my left foot for about 15 years with lots of unsuccessful self-treatments. I saw Andrew for a consultation and he suggested the Swift treatment, and so we gave it a go there and then. I'm not going to lie, it was painful. A month later I went back for another treatment and Andrew took off the dead skin and gave my foot another treatment. I went back for a third treatment and to my surprise Andrew said I didn't need any more. I can't thank Andrew enough for helping me and for getting rid of my painful verrucae. I would recommend Andrew and Swift treatment for warts and verrucae. Great result. Happy customer.
Mrs S. W. – North Walsham
I have suffered with verrucae on both feet for years, and had tried all home treatments. So, from a recommendation, I went to Andrew to have my verrucae treated with Swift therapy. It was a tad painful, but I must say Andrew really made me feel at ease and is very easy to get along with, and with one treatment we had got rid of most of them. I've had a second treatment with him and I'm very pleased with the results. I won't be going to anyone else for my feet issues.
Mrs L N – Bacton
I would just like to say a few words about Andrew, who have (sic) been treating me with my feet for 15 years plus. I have found him to be very competent and alert in his work, also I can say a good friend who I can phone at any time. In that time he has treated me with a troublesome ingrown toenail operation to cut it out (firstly using numbing injections, and a tourniquet on it), whilst talking me through the operation in a very calm manner. The aftercare he kept till he was satisfied with the healing. Also I have a lot to thank him for when noticing a very tiny mole on top of my foot one day that he was not happy with, and making me promise to get in touch with my GP that day. In four weeks I was at the hospital having a biopsy on it, being told it was a [malignant] melanoma and being told it needed to be surgically removed: all this within the twelve weeks of Andrew noticing it. Apart from all the scars, I have my foot and I have a lot to thank him for; also my life. I have all the confidence he will carry on looking after my feet. I would, and have been, recommending him to many.
Mrs M B – Sloley
Thank you very much indeed for operating on my ingrown toenail. Before the operation I could hardly walk and my big toe was extremely painful. Thanks to you the operation was a complete success and painless. It is such a joy to be able to walk again without pain. Many thanks.
Mr P L – North Walsham
I am extremely happy to recommend Andrew Hoyes. My nail removals were handled with skill, care, and attention to detail. These qualities have been consistent throughout all my appointments and I am grateful to have found someone who is not only pioneering, but who I trust.
Mrs B F – Norwich
"After a number of various unsuccessful conventional treatments to remove three verrucae, I contacted Andrew after hearing about his laser treatment methods. I was delighted by the results. I underwent five laser treatments, three of which I had a local anaesthetic. The two smaller ones went quickly but the largest was more stubborn! Andrew's friendly, professional and competent manner put me at ease at all times and whilst I 'toughed out' some of the treatments without local anaesthetic, I was very happy indeed with the care and attention I received and, best of all, with the final results."
Ms L K, Norwich
"Just a quick email to say how pleased I am with the results of the laser treatment on my persistent verrucas. The results are fantastic after just one treatment - the skin has healed perfectly and you can barely see where the warts once were. Hoping the two remaining will be cleared up completely in the follow up laser treatment. Thanks for the professional treatment and friendly advice given throughout."
Miss C S Gwynedd
"When I first visited Andrew it was difficult for him to disguise his dismay at the sight of my left foot. However after careful discussion and Andrew making me aware of the pain and discomfort I would possibly experience plus awareness the treatment might not work, we agreed to have a go at the laser treatment. Yes there was some pain, especially when a large blister formed when I put too much pressure on my foot by cutting the grass, but I am absolutely delighted with the result. Three treatments. Completely clear of those antisocial verrucas. Thank you Andrew."
Mrs S A, Southrepps.
