I had my toe nails previously removed three times in Los Angeles at Kaiser Permanente. In the first 2-3 days I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep or walk and I was taking painkillers like it was candy. I was really nervous to go to the doctor again. Dr. Shalev is really amazing. He removed my toe nail before 3 pm and I started to feel a little pain before 6 pm. I didn't take any painkiller. He also mentioned that there is a chemical that he can use and my toe nail would never grow back, so that's an option too. I highly recommend him.
