David Wassef

Podiatrist

David is a graduate from the University of Western Sydney, where he completed a Bachelor of Podiatric Medicine (Honours). Throughout his academic journey, David demonstrated a strong commitment to learning, clinical excellence, and patient-centered care.

A proud Sydney native, David was born and raised in the city’s western suburbs. Growing up in a medical family, he developed a fascination with the human body and how movement affects function and overall wellbeing. This early curiosity naturally evolved into a passion for podiatry, particularly in the field of biomechanics. His interest in the way people move, walk, and function has shaped the way he approaches patient care, always striving to find the root cause of an issue rather than simply treating the symptoms.

What sets David apart is his belief that no two people are the same, and neither should any two treatments be either! He takes great pride in understanding how each unique body functions and tailoring interventions accordingly. His approach to podiatry is holistic and individualized, combining clinical reasoning, empathy, and a high level of biomechanical knowledge. Whether it’s helping an athlete improve performance, or guiding someone through rehabilitation after an injury, David prides himself on bringing a customised rehabilitation plan to every patient to not only get them back to feeling normal, but preventing further injury!

Frequently Asked Questions Podiatrist Surry Hills

How To Choose a Podiatrist In Surry Hills?

When choosing a podiatrist near Surry Hills, look for a qualified and experienced practitioner who offers evidence-based treatment for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. It’s important to choose a clinic that’s conveniently located, has positive patient reviews, and provides personalised care tailored to your individual needs.

You should also consider the services available, such as sports podiatry, custom orthotics, gait analysis, ingrown toenail treatment and general foot care. Ask about appointment availability, consultation fees and the technology used to assess and treat your condition. A welcoming clinic with friendly staff and experienced podiatrists can make a significant difference to your treatment experience and long-term foot health.

Should I See An “Orthotics Plus Podiatrist” Or an Orthotist?

While both orthotists and podiatrists specialize in foot and ankle care, their roles differ. Podiatrists are medical professionals who diagnose and treat conditions of the feet and ankles. Orthotists, on the other hand, design and create custom orthotics or braces to help correct and support foot and ankle issues. Depending on your needs, you may benefit from seeing both a podiatrist and an orthotist for a more comprehensive treatment plan.

What Does A Podiatrist Do For Your Feet?

A podiatrist diagnoses, treats, and helps prevent a wide range of foot, ankle and lower limb conditions. At our clinic near Surry Hills, we provide comprehensive assessments to identify the cause of foot pain, injuries, mobility issues and chronic conditions before developing a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Depending on your condition, treatment may include custom orthotics, footwear advice, gait analysis, exercise rehabilitation, nail and skin care, minor procedures for ingrown toenails or hands-on treatment for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel pain, bunions, sports injuries and Achilles tendinopathy. We also focus on preventative care to improve foot function, reduce the risk of future injuries, and keep you active for the long term.

Can I Use NDIS Funding For Podiatry Services?

Yes, you can use NDIS funding for Surry Hills podiatry care services, if the services are deemed necessary to help you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life. You’ll need to work with your NDIS plan manager to determine if your chosen Sydney podiatry clinic is covered under your NDIS plan.

What’s The Difference Between Podiatry And Physio?

Podiatry and physiotherapy at Align Health Collective near Surry Hills both focus on treating conditions affecting the lower limbs. Podiatrists specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions of the feet and ankles, while physiotherapists treat a wider range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including the ankle and legs, hips, and lower back. Depending on the nature of your problem, you may need to see both a podiatrist and a physiotherapist for a comprehensive treatment option. 

How Much Does Podiatry In Redfern Cost?

The cost of professional podiatry care in Surry Hills varies depending on the clinic, the services offered, and the type and extent of treatment required. It’s best to contact the clinic directly to get an accurate cost estimate for your specific needs. 

Are Podiatry Costs Covered By Medicare?

Medicare doesn’t cover routine podiatry. If you have a chronic condition and your GP refers you under a chronic condition management plan, Medicare may pay a rebate for up to five allied health visits a year, which can include podiatry. Private health extras cover may also help with the cost.

What Conditions Can Podiatrists Treat?

Podiatrists in Surry Hills can treat various foot and lower limb conditions, like heel pain, sports injuries, diabetic foot care, nail disorders, shin splints, callus, leg pain, nail surgery, ingrown toenail, foot and ankle pain and postural problems.

What Is Shockwave Therapy, And How Is It Used In Podiatry?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy shock waves and may help reduce pain in the foot and ankle. It’s used in podiatry to treat conditions like plantar fasciitis and other chronic pain conditions.
