I'm not going to lie. If you have this done by a doctor, it's probably going to hurt.

They will either freeze it with nitrogen, burn it with a laser, or burn it with a strong acid. The idea behind all of these methods is to produce a blister, killing the skin that the wart is anchored in, and causing the wart to come off with that dead tissue.

The good news is that the smaller the wart is, the less painful it is. A very small wart can often be removed with one treatment, larger warts usually need multiple treatments. So if you go in while it is still quite small you will probably be done with it quickly.

You could also try an over-the-counter treatment, I'd only use the liquid salicylic acid. (The OTC freeze treatments don't work very well.) Pro: you can remove it yourself with little or no pain. Con: It takes several weeks of twice daily treatment and might not remove the wart.

You can actually get rid of the wart yourself painfree without a doctor or expensive wart treatment. Studies have shown (and my own personal experience and the experience of my doctor) that duct tape will remove a wart. Here's what you do (it worked for me and is better to try before going to a doctor)....
-Cut a piece of duct tape to the size and shape of the wart and apply it to the wart. (I put a small circle band-aid over mine to keep the duct tape in place and so I don't look funny with duct tape)
-Keep it on for 6 days and on the 7th day remove it. Soak the wart in warm water for about 10 minutes. Then use a pumice stone or emery board and gently scrub off the dead skin.
-Apply a new piece of duct tape the next day (8th day) and repeat the above steps for 2 months or until the wart is gone.

For me, the wart was almost gone in a week and practically gone after a month!
