Dr. David R. Basch treated me for and ingrown toe nail. He removed and lasered it. It kept on giving me problems even after returning for additional treatment. A new Doctor informed me that he trimmed it wrong. I had a piece of toe nail growing up towards the ceiling and the end of the nail was shaped like an upside down v. That v was picnching my skin and cutting of circulation to the point were my skin turned black. Finally I had to have the whole toe nail removed and the nail bed carterized. If it ever grows back the same procedure will have to be repeated. This has been a very bad experience and I have been off work now for 4 weeks.The pain is unbearable.
