I graduated from Latrobe University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Podiatry. I have been working in private practice in West Gippsland and the South East Suburbs ever since. I enjoy the broad range of conditions I am able to see in private practice, and have a wealth of experience, and particular interest in sports Podiatry, biomechanics and orthotic intervention.
My interest in these areas stems from my own background playing state representative basketball as a junior, as well as many years of senior football. While my days as a competitive sportsman are behind me, I understand the pressures and demands faced by athletes, and take great joy in helping people continue to participate in the sports and activities that they love.
I have also dedicated a lot of my career as a Podiatrist to providing skin and nail care, diabetic foot care and performing ingrown toenail surgeries. I work between our Drouin and Wheelers Hill clinics.
I’m Stuart, I work at both our Drouin and Korumburra clinics.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Podiatry from La Trobe University in 2007. My career began in aged care facilities, retirement villages, and clinics within the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire. A year after graduating, I took on the role of Senior Podiatrist at the West Gippsland Healthcare Group (WGHG), where I provided services throughout the Baw Baw Shire.
After three years with WGHG, I returned to private practice, spending two years in Berwick before co-founding Podium Podiatry with Jack Fitzpatrick in 2014. I enjoy connecting with my patients—especially over a good sports conversation—and am passionate about working with children, high-risk feet, and providing diabetic foot care.
My name is David, and I have over 20 years of experience as a Podiatrist, specialising in diagnosing and treating complex foot and leg pain. Since graduating from Huddersfield University in 2003, I’ve worked alongside top podiatrists in the UK and Australia, gaining diverse experience across hospital care, surgical triaging, paediatrics, aged care, and private practice. My focus has been on biomechanical issues that cause pain or dysfunction, and I’m skilled in advanced orthotic prescription and trained in Prolotherapy, an effective treatment for musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Since moving to Melbourne in 2010, I’ve enjoyed life with my family while staying active in sports like rugby, squash, and cross-country running. Having dealt with sports-related injuries myself, I understand how easily we take our feet and legs for granted. I’m passionate about helping others overcome foot and leg issues, whether to reach their sporting goals or simply improve their daily comfort. You can find me at our Wheelers Hill and Drouin clinics, where I look forward to assisting you.
I have been with Podium Podiatry since 2020 and am available for appointments at our Drouin and Korumburra clinics. I graduated from La Trobe University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Podiatry and have over 25 years of experience in both public and private healthcare settings across metropolitan and regional areas. Before joining Podium, I ran my own clinics, gaining extensive experience as both a Registered Nurse and a Podiatrist.
I enjoy all aspects of podiatry, with a special passion for working with the ageing population to maintain foot health and functionality, supporting healthy ageing. I’m always up for a chat, often about my kids, my horses, or life in the country.
My Name is Jess Pearce, I’m originally from South Wales in the UK, now living in the Latrobe Vally. I graduated from Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2005. I have extensive experience in general Podiatry, working in Private and public sectors both in Australia and the UK.
I am passionate about providing the best care possible in a friendly, relaxed environment, making time for a chat while looking after diabetic feet, thick unruly toenails and painful annoying corns.
Outside of work you can often find me hanging from a Circus Hoop at the aerials studio.
