Words from Greg
“As a senior Perth Podiatrist It’s an enjoyable challenge working in the area of diagnostics, treatment and management of so many different foot conditions. Through my Masters study, work with the Podiatry Board, WA and through consultations with thousands of patients over the years, I have learnt the importance of moving beyond opinion, which is always in flux, and focusing on finding workable solutions. A problem-solving approach takes into account individual needs and circumstances, in the development of a treatment and management plan that not only reduces pain and increases mobility but helps people achieve their personal goals.”
