Podiatrists

Senior Podiatrist

One of our 3 senior podiatrists, Rebecca, has two health science degrees. The first, a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in health promotion. Rebecca then went onto graduate in 2015 from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Podiatric Practice. Rebecca quickly applied her trade in regional NSW as part of a rural outreach team. Here she was able to provide care for many individuals with complex and challenging medical histories within the community. Having moved to the Dandenong ranges in 2020, Rebecca has brought her wealth of knowledge of complex cases seen in remote communities with her. Rebecca enjoys a broad range of podiatric care with a specific interest around musculoskeletal injuries, gait analysis, orthotics, and nail surgery.

Outside of the clinic, Rebecca enjoys all the outdoor activities that living in the Dandenong Ranges has to offer. You may find Rebecca and her partner, Andrew, chasing after their lively but loveable wolfhound, Orla or traversing the best of Victoria’s rock-climbing areas.
