Listen. Assess. Investigate.
A considered, three-step approach — before any conversation about treatment begins.
Listen
Understanding your history, your symptoms, and what matters most to you day to day.
Assess
A thorough clinical examination to understand exactly what's happening, and why.
Investigate
X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI where needed — so any recommendation is built on a clear diagnosis.

Meet Tim
Dependable care, built on decades of focused experience.
Tim completed his medical degree at Monash University, trained at The Alfred Hospital, and became a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 1997. A fellowship in Foot & Ankle Surgery at the University of Texas, and further training in Ilizarov technique in Italy, shaped a practice he's run exclusively in foot & ankle surgery since 2011.
"My approach begins with a thorough history and examination to understand your needs. Often, non-surgical options are enough — and when surgery is the right path, my goal is a reliable procedure with a swift, safe return to activity."
