How I can help you
I offer a range of different services to help identify and manage your foot, ankle and shin pain. These include:
Who I treat
From athletes to the weekend warriors, kids through to older adults, I enjoy seeing people of all ages and abilities.
I have experience working with elite athletes, sports teams and other healthcare providers, including physiotherapists, GPs and medical specialists. So you can be sure, whatever your situation, I’m able to assist.
What to expect
I’ll do a thorough assessment of your foot and ankle, watch you walking and moving, look at your shoes and anything else you have related to your lower limb or injury, such as foot orthoses or radiology.
I understand that everyone is different. So we’ll discuss not only about what caused your current injury or pain, but also what types of activity you like doing, your concerns about the condition as well as preferences for management.
After your initial assessment you will understand your diagnosis, all the treatment options available, what activity you can keep doing as you recover and how long it may take to get back to being better than your best.
Then I’ll work with you, guiding you through your recovery to get you back to your previous best (and beyond!).
What my patients are saying
Lauren L2024-01-12 Alex is an excellent and knowledgeable podiatrist and a warm and caring person. I've been to many health practitioners and Alex is a clear standout. He has expertise as a podiatrist and also considers the body holistically, which was crucial in my progress and reducing pain. His service goes above and beyond - I cannot recommend him highly enough! Kenneth Menz2023-12-01 I was very happy with my visit to Alex yesterday. My situation was somewhat complex and we spent a considerable time analysing the various aspects of it. I was impressed with his caring manner and his insights. Price was a little higher than some, but we spent a whole hour - no scrimping on time. There was no pressure placed upon me for a return visit. (One particular major Canberra podiatry chain seems to be more driven by encouraging return visits than they are by providing solutions). I will return to Alex if I feel the need, and I am interested now to see how his suggestions play out. Jen2023-11-17 Alex has been a fantastic help and gone out of his way to help me figure out what's been causing my ankle pain, highly HIGHLY recommend using him, very knowledgeable and personable Patrick Doan2023-11-09 Alex is a very knowledgeable clinician. As another Podiatrist myself, I have worked with him professionally and it is clear that he is passionate in his work clinically and as an educator. There are very few sports podiatrists in Australia that understand the importance and process of foot and ankle rehabilitation. He also clearly enjoys helping people of all ages and abilities get back to sport and physical activity. Chris Richardson2023-03-21 Great experience with Alex 😄 Complex sprained ankle. Excellent treatment. Even better, matched with very good explanations of what was going on and why 👍 Highly recommended. Joanna Richards2023-03-19 Cannot recommend enough! I visited Alex after having a recurring pain in my foot which was totally limiting my ability to live my life. As someone who works on my feet and exercises daily, the pain was stressing me out. Alex was extremely thorough. I really felt like he took his time to fully understood what was going on. He sent me home with a comprehensive plan of attack. Not only did he give me rehab exercises and stretches, he gave me advice on how to adjust my daily movements to reduce my pain and he made some custom orthotics for both my runners and my favourite shoes. Pain went away within a few days. If you have an issue, go see Alex immediately. No hesitation in recommending him. Simon Lewis2023-03-11 Very knowledgeable on all things feet and rehab. He is my go to when I have a patient with a complex foot injury. Geoffrey Ford2023-03-10 Alex was by far the best podiatrist I have been to. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming and didn’t try to force his plan on me but instead worked with me to help me get back to my goals. I’ve found other therapists often just try and sell you on their plans. Thanks for your help Alex, my feet feel so much better and I’m no longer worried about them. Ryan L. McGrath2023-03-10 Alex is an extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and caring clinician. I have collaborated with Alex on a research article on plantar heel pain management, and during this process, it was clear that his expertise regarding lower foot, ankle, and leg pain is second to none. His passion for achieving the best outcomes is evident in his commitment to staying up-to-date on the latest developments in rehabilitation and pain management.
