About
The Nail Surgery Clinic (TNSC) operates from Suite 1, Level 1, 355 Main Street Lilydale Vic. It was established by Andrew Jardine, who is a podiatrist with a keen interest in performing nail surgery for painful ingrown toenails. Andrew has had over 30 years experience in nail surgery (SEE Full Profile).
The Nail Surgery Clinic was set up so that the community of Lilydale, Yarra Valley and surrounding suburbs could receive expert care with no long waiting periods. Public Hospitals often have a long waiting period, and can be very daunting for someone who is anxious.
The Nail Surgery Clinic is open Monday - Saturday for initial consultations, with nail surgical procedures arranged on Tuesdays & Fridays.
The Nail Surgery Clinic (TNSC) has been set up so that there is no long waiting period to obtain an appointment.
