I have been going to Dr. Lauren Sum for a few years now for my ingrown toenail issues. I must say, she is highly skilled in her craft. She is friendly, thoughtful, and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Lauren Sum for your foot health.

Thank you soo much for the last minute walk in. Dr.Lauren Sum is not only amazing but extremely helpful with information needed in good foot hygiene. I went in for a painful ingrown toe nail and she immediately didn't hesitate to take me in. I was done in just a few minutes. I was recommended by my sister as she too experience the same issue a few months ago. I am definitely coming back to her if I go through this again. Don't hesitate and see Dr. Sum, I would much rather go with her than risk it with a nail salon. Yes nail salons are good but I wouldn't risk it with ingrown nails especially swollen and infected ones. Again thank you soo much Dr. Sum .
