About David
Providing effective and exceptional foot care has the ability to significantly change and improve the lives of the elderly – this is my passion.
I love seeing the tangible change that is made to the lives of my patients daily. I’ve been specialising in community, disability and aged care since 2010 and believe in providing nothing less than quality and timely care, ongoing education and very importantly, building a genuine, respectful and trusting relationship with my patients.
It is so important to listen to the needs of my patients to ensure positive outcomes and effective treatment plans as part of a holistic healthcare approach. It’s important to me to stay actively involved in continual professional development and learning since graduating in Edinburgh in 2009.
More recently, I’m proud to have been awarded the Postgraduate Diploma in Diabetes with distinction.
