Nail Disorders

Examinations & treatment options for all nail issues

We diagnose and treat all disorders that affect the nail and its surrounding tissues. If your fingernails are healthy, they should be smooth on the surface without any bumps, pits, or grooves. They should also be consistent in color without spots or any type of discoloration, and should not peel or break easily while doing normal daily activities. You should seek immediate medical attention if your nails exhibit unusual symptoms, such as: brittleness, redness and swelling around the nail, pain and/or bleeding around the nails, thickening or thinning of the nails, changes in nail shape and texture, apparent discoloration (a black streak in the nail), and separation of the nail from the skin. Dr. Mueller has been performing nail surgeries for over 15 years and is adept at performing nail matrix biopsies to diagnose all nail disorders. This procedure can be done in office using local anesthetic.
