Meet Dr. Mullin: The Twin Cities’ Ingrown Toenail HQ™

If you’ve ever had an ingrown toenail, you know one thing: eventually it must come out.

You search for expert help—now.

That’s exactly why patients across the Twin Cities are turning to Mullin Podiatry , home of what many are calling the Twin Cities Ingrown Toenail HQ™ .

A Different Kind of Podiatry Experience

At Mullin Podiatry , care looks different from the moment you walk in.

Founded by Dr. Becky Mullin, DPM , a board-certified foot and ankle specialist, the clinic was built around one simple idea:
healthcare should be straightforward, accessible, and centered entirely around the patient—not insurance.

Instead of navigating referrals, long waits, or confusing billing, patients get:

Same-day or next-day access when needed
Transparent, upfront pricing
Direct communication with their doctor
Time to actually be heard and treated

This direct-pay model allows Dr. Mullin to deliver highly personalized care without the constraints of traditional insurance systems.

Meet Dr. Becky Mullin

Dr. Mullin’s path to podiatry started early—and it shows in how she practices today.

She trained at Des Moines University , completed her residency in Kansas City, and has spent years caring for patients across the northwest Twin Cities metro.

But what truly sets her apart isn’t just credentials—it’s approachability.

Patients consistently describe her as:

A great listener
Thorough and efficient
Straightforward and honest
Genuinely caring

She’s also been recognized as a Top Doctor in Minnesota Monthly , reflecting both clinical excellence and patient trust.

Why Ingrown Toenails Are Her Specialty

While Mullin Podiatry treats a full range of foot and ankle conditions, one issue stands out:

Ingrown toenails.

They’re common.
They’re painful.
And they often get worse the longer you wait.

At Mullin Podiatry, ingrown toenail care is:

Precise and same-day when needed
Designed for immediate relief
Done with patient comfort as the priority
Supported with clear aftercare and follow-up
Flexible; and can be needle free for patients who are really adverse to needles – such as teens or pediatric patients.

The goal isn’t just to “fix it”—it’s to solve the problem and prevent it from coming back .

A Real Patient Story

Recently, a patient visiting from out of town found herself in a situation many people know too well—
she couldn’t wait any longer.

The pain had been building. Walking was difficult. Travel made it worse.

She had been having a doctor address it for months without serious success. She didn’t have time to navigate a system.

She found Mullin Podiatry. She was grateful.

“I was just visiting and honestly couldn’t wait any longer. The pain had been constant for weeks. Dr. Mullin got me in quickly, explained everything clearly, and treated it the same day.

I was so relieved—not just because the procedure was smooth—but because I could actually walk comfortably again before heading home. I wish I had done it sooner.”

That’s the difference:
fast access + expert care = immediate relief.

Serving the Twin Cities (and Beyond)

Conveniently located in Wayzata, Mullin Podiatry serves patients from:

Plymouth
Maple Grove
Rogers
Medina
Greater Minneapolis–St. Paul area

…and even travelers who just need help right now .

Because when it comes to ingrown toenails, waiting isn’t a strategy.

Ready for Relief?

If you’re dealing with an ingrown toenail—or think one might be starting—don’t wait for it to get worse.

At the Twin Cities Ingrown Toenail HQ™, the focus is simple:

Get you out of pain. Quickly. Clearly. Completely.

Testimonial is paraphrased and details are changed or omitted for patient privacy. We are glad our patient was grateful and pain free!

How to Avoid Ingrown Toenails – Tips from a Plymouth, MN Podiatrist

Dr. Becky Mullin, Doctor of Pediatric Medicine

Do your toes hurt when you walk or wear shoes? You might have an ingrown toenail. Ingrown toenails can be painful and lead to infections. But the good news is—they can be prevented!

Mullin Podiatry serves you in the Plymouth, Minnesota area. We help kids, teens, and adults take care of their feet. Here are some easy ways to avoid getting an ingrown toenail.

What Is an Ingrown Toenail?

An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of your toenail grows into the skin next to it. This usually affects the big toe. The area can get red, swollen, and sore. Sometimes, it even gets infected.

Tips to Avoid Ingrown Toenails

1. Cut Your Toenails the Right Way
Always trim your toenails straight across. Don’t round the corners. If you cut too deep or curve the edges, the nail can grow into your skin.

2. Don’t Cut Them Too Short
If your toenails are too short, it’s easier for them to dig into your skin. Keep them just above the tip of your toe.

3. Wear Shoes That Fit
Tight shoes or narrow shoes can squeeze your toes. This can cause pressure that pushes the nail into your skin. Make sure your shoes give your toes plenty of room.

4. Keep Your Feet Clean and Dry
Wash your feet every day and dry them well, especially between your toes. This helps prevent infections.

5. Don’t Pick at Your Toenails
Never rip or pull off a toenail. This can damage the nail and lead to an ingrown toenail.

A new Paradigm for Podiatry Care:

How Far A Dollar Goes With Direct Care

Exhibit A : How Direct Care Could Save An Ingrown Toenail Patient $952

This chart compares how a similar procedure costs more with insurance. The copay, visit, injection, follow-up, and procedure all have different codes for insurance. Anything not negotiated by health insurance gets covered by the patient.

With Direct Pay, it can be much simpler. You pay a set price for your visit and know what you are getting. In some cases, a follow-up appointment is included, so there are no surprises.

This is for illustrative and educational purposes only. Insurance benefits vary. Medicare is not illustrated in this exam Medicare will not be accepted at our clinic.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a way to access medical services and manage healthcare costs without involving insurance. Under this arrangement, you make payment and billing agreements directly with your healthcare provider.

However, if you're enrolled in a DPC plan, you might still need a high-deductible health plan or other insurance to cover unexpected emergencies and hospital stays.

By sharing your phone number you agree to receive text messages. Regulations require encrypted messaging systems for confidential communications. Since this form is not encrypted, it is the policy of Dr. Mullin to not use e-mail or text for sharing confidential information.

Love your toenails

Summer time. Weddings. Vacations.

Toenails are on display during different times of the year. For those who have unsightly – and often, painful – toenail fungus infections, treatment is possible.

Dr. Mullin has a knack for toenail fungus treatment.

With an exam and a review of various options, patients can treat their nails and be happily surprised by the results.

Laser treatment, medications, and aesthetic toenail veneers are all possible.

Go buy those sandals and open-toed shoes. You might just love your new nails!

Notably, the advanced laser treatment can also help those who suffer from IPK’s and plantar warts. These can be painful and laser treatment is just one of several options you can learn about.

Hi, I’m Dr. Mullin.

I wanted to practice podiatry since high school. I am medically trained through Des Moines University and completed my medical residency in 2016 in Kansas City, MO.

My husband and I were based out of Kansas City when the Royals became World Series Champions. But I still am a Twins fan through-and-through.

I am a mom to four young children. We love to make trips to Disney in the winter, and go up north in the summer.

I am honored to have been named a Top Doctor in the Minnesota Monthly. I am proud to represent my specialty in podiatry, and women physicians with this recognition.

College: College of Saint Benedict

Podiatry School: Des Moines University

Medical Residency: Truman Medical Center

Dr. Mullin has worked as Doctor of Podiatry and built her presence in the Northwest Metro.
