About Michael

Michael is a dual-qualified podiatrist and registered nurse with over 15 years of clinical experience. He has a strong background in diabetes education, wound management, and skin surgery, and brings a comprehensive and compassionate approach to foot and lower limb care.

Dedicated to continuous professional development, Michael has earned a wide range of certifications to ensure he delivers the highest standard of care. His clinical passion lies in performing minor surgeries below the ankle, including treatments for ingrown toenails and plantar warts.

Michael’s podiatry practice covers a broad range of services, including:

• General and diabetic foot care

• Dry needling for muscle and heel pain

• Biomechanical assessments

• Custom foot orthotic prescriptions

He has a special interest in paediatric foot conditions, particularly flat feet. If left unaddressed, this condition can impact posture, gait, and long-term musculoskeletal health. Through detailed gait analysis and biomechanical evaluation, Michael provides custom-made orthotics to correct foot alignment, support the arches, and relieve pain in both children and adults.

Orthotics play a vital role not only in managing flat feet (pes planus), but also in addressing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and overpronation. Michael carefully tailors each pair to match the patient’s foot structure and activity level, ensuring maximum comfort and long-term results.

Michael applies a $10 gap fee for all patients with a valid EPC or GPMP Care Plan, helping to make quality foot care more accessible. From 1 November, the Gap fee will increase to $15.
