Podiatrist / Director

Greg graduated with B.App.Science Podiatry with Distinction from Queensland University of Technology in 1992, and took up private practice in Bulimba in South East Queensland. Throughout the 1990s, he served for four years as the Consultant Podiatrist of the Norfolk Island Hospital, was the Queensland delegate of the Australian Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine, completed a post graduate elective in Sports Medicine run by SMA, lectured to podiatry undergraduates, was a clinical supervisor at QUT, and was a regular guest lecturer for University of Queensland Medical Students and Radiographers.

In 2005 Greg was the Keynote Speaker at the Australian Rheumatology Association Conference held on the Sunshine Coast. He is also regular speaker at the Sport's Medicine Australia Conference held in Perisher Blue Resort each year.

He is sought after as an expert witness in lower limb injuries and gait analysis, having written comprehensive reports for medicolegal cases in both Australia and abroad. He attended the ISPO (International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics) conferences in Leipzig in 2008 and 2010. Greg's belief in a multidisciplinary approach to foot and lower limb care and special interest in complex biomechanical, sports and rheumatological cases, sees him work alongside some of Brisbane's finest General Practitioners, Rheumatologists, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Physicians, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Physiotherapists, Orthotists and Prosthetists and Chiropractors.

In 2005 he co-founded, with Darren Stewart, my Foot Dr podiatry centres, Australia's largest and most successful podiatry group. His practice has now grown to incorporate over 14 clinics across South east Queensland, 8 of which have large purpose built facilities with onsite CAD/CAM laboratories and comfort shoe stores. He now has a professional and administrative staff of nearly 50 people and his plans for expansion to 50 podiatry clinics Australia wide are well underway.

In 2009 he co-founded Orthema Australasia, the exclusive Australasian distributors of the Swiss made Orthema CAD/CAM foot orthotic fabrication systems. Orthema is a complete, in house, turn-key orthotics laboratory and can now be found in over 30 locations in most states of Australia, including hospitals in Queensland and Western Australia.

Greg is certified as a PinPointe FootLaser Provider and is extremely happy with the outcomes this revolutionary fungal nail treatment has provided to his patients.
In his spare time Greg loves chilling out at Graceland Brisvegas with wife Sally and two little girls Laura and Emily. He also loves playing rockabilly music with his band The Blue Cats.
