Ben has a profound passion and expertise in manufacturing and prescribing custom-made orthopaedic footwear, custom foot orthotics, and ankle-foot orthotics. Over his time with MyFoot Dr he has acquired a distinctive skill set through hands-on experience in the lab at Australia’s largest podiatry clinic, where he is exposed to complex podiatry, orthotics, and pedorthics.
During his formative years, Ben underwent comprehensive mentoring by industry-leading podiatrists and pedorthists, exposing him to a highly diverse caseload, encompassing routine podiatry appointments to intricate bracing and footwear solutions. His caseload involves complex foot and ankle deformities, rehabilitation, neurological conditions, hypermobility, and paediatrics. Ben navigates various treatment options, including custom foot orthotics, ankle-foot orthotics, medical-grade footwear, pedorthic shoe modifications, custom-made orthopaedic footwear, and SureStep paediatric bracing. Additionally, he is proficient in modifying and rectifying these orthoses and shoes.
Ben is experienced in clinical podiatry tasks, offering comprehensive foot care and maintenance, callus and corn debridement, ingrown toenails, fungal nails, and verruca pedis (wart) treatments. He is well-versed in performing partial nail avulsions (nail surgeries) and employing Swift Microwave Technology to remove stubborn warts.
Ben’s leadership of the Camp Hill Custom Cricket Shoe team has positioned him to work closely with elite cricket players from across the globe, including the Australian Cricket Team, to deliver sport—and injury-specific shoe customisations. His expertise in cricket-specific shoe modifications is particularly exciting for him.
Furthermore, Ben understands billing processes and administration for private health funds, NDIS, DVA, work-related funding, and other third-party billing systems. His adeptness in regularly writing letters for complex cases seeking treatment recommendations further underscores his professional competence.
