About Us

I have been a practising Melbourne Podiatrist for almost 30 years during which time I have treated numerous patients, from a 6 month old child who needed casts to straighten her legs to athletes who have knee pain, shin pain or plantar fasciitis – sometimes all three at once! I love my work but what I enjoy most is improving the lives of my patients by helping them get back to the lifestyle they enjoy, without pain.

After working in public and private practice for some years, in 1995 I opened the Brunswick Foot Clinic. Located close to the centre of Melbourne, my colleagues and I treat all conditions related to the feet and lower limbs. In 2010 I also opened the Sandringham Foot Clinic, located 20 minutes south east of Melbourne. At the time of writing Sandringham is a part time clinic particularly catering for patients who work full time and find it hard to attend an appointment during business hours. Both the Brunswick and Sandringham Foot Clinics are dedicated to podiatry care and offer the latest technology to help diagnose and treat your pain quickly.

Did you know that your foot is a complex marvel of 26 bones, 33 joints and 107 ligaments, all linked by a network of muscles, nerves, blood vessels and skin. Foot care isn’t just about removing corns and calluses.  Proper foot care can mean life or death to someone with diabetes or heart disease. To an older person, foot health can be the difference between enjoying life or not as painful foot problems can lead to immobility. To an athlete foot care can be the difference between reaching their peak performance or suffering from chronic injuries.

Foot care is about cost-effective, preventative medicine, rehabilitation, saving limbs and sometimes lives. It’s about keeping you mobile and independent. To that end my practice philosophy is based on the following principles practiced each day in my clinics:

• Commitment to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
• We place your best interests first.
• We always listen to you and appreciate your needs.
• From your initial consultation through the continuum of your care, we will carefully explain the nature of your condition and the treatment options available to you.
• We treat you like a friend.

We remain focused on delivering personalised patient care which makes the Brunswick and Sandringham Foot Clinics centres of excellence.

I hope you enjoy my blog. Most of all I hope you find my posts informative and helpful.

Yours in foot health…
