My teenage daughter was at overnight camp at Camp Tockwogh in Maryland. While there, we got a call from the nurse that she had a toe infection from an ingrown toenail and that was getting worse and now she couldn't walk. The nurse had been doing warm epsom salt soaks, but they weren't helping. My daughter also had two other ingrown toenails that weren't as bad. We tried to get her in with a podiatrist close to the camp but they were booked up for two weeks. I searched for podiatrists in Middletown, Delaware, and Foot Care Group, PA came up. I spoke to the receptionist Andrea who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and was able to give us an appointment within 2 hours! I asked if that would be just a consultation (which would not get my daughter out of pain and back to camp) or if they would do the procedure at the same time. I was told the procedure would be done at the same time and that she would be seeing Dr. Cody Bowers. The camp sent two counselors to drive my daughter up from Maryland, and we drove down from Wilmington. When we got to the office, we met Andrea and thanked her for getting us in so quickly. We filled out the paperwork and met Dr. Bowers, who was wonderful with my daughter. He examined her and recommended local anesthetic before removing the bad ingrown toenail. He explained everything thoroughly, and told me the (very reasonable) fee when I asked. He also has a good sense of humor, which helped put my daughter at ease. My daughter did great for the shots for the one toe, and while it was getting numb, he removed the other two ingrown toenails that weren't so bad (no anesthetic was needed for those). She did great and went right back to camp. We had considered going to an urgent care center if we couldn't get her in with a podiatrist, but I'm glad we didn't go to an urgent care center because Dr. Bowers told me he had already done 7 ingrown toenails on other patients before we arrived that day! I like going to the guy who "shoots fish in a barrel" and does them all day so he gets really good at them and seemed to work very efficiently. It was a piece of cake for him! If we need foot care in the future, we will definitely return to Dr. Bowers. Fortunately for us, they also have a Wilmington office where Dr. Bowers also works. read more
