Start the Right Treatment
Dr. Oghoorian will match you to one of the options below based on how advanced the infection is.
How We Treat It
Treatment options range from simple in-office procedures to prescription medication, chosen based on the severity of the infection.
Why Treat It Early
Fungal infections tend to spread, both to other nails and to the surrounding skin, and become harder to treat the longer they're left alone. Early treatment gives you the best shot at a full recovery.
Waiting also gives the infection more time to spread to other toenails, or even fingernails.
