Brent has a special interest in biomechanics (the movement of your body) and has completed additional courses (see more details below) during his 27 years of practicing. 

Important Update

Brent Radford’s schedule is often quite full. 

FOR ALL NEW PATIENTS

New patients are still welcome to book with Brent, but please note there is a longer wait period. 

➡️ PLEASE JOIN BRENT’S WAITLIST:

While you wait, we recommend booking with one of our other highly experienced podiatrists to begin your treatment. In most cases, patients are delighted with the care they receive — but if you would still like a second opinion from Brent once an appointment becomes available, that can certainly be arranged.

➡️ We encourage new patients to book with one of our other 6 highly experienced podiatrists, who are available now to help with all your podiatry needs.

FOR EXISTING PATIENTS OF BRENT:

➡️ If you are an existing patient and require a follow-up, please contact our reception team directly on 9258 4152 so we can assist you with booking. Please also add your name to the waitlist, and we’ll do our best to fit you in much sooner. 

Brent genuinely enjoys podiatry and treating all ages.

He has 27 years’ experience with a special interest in biomechanics (the movement of your body) and has completed additional courses in:

  • Advanced orthotic therapy
  • Joint mobilisation
  • Strain counterstrain
  • Anatomy trains
  • Trigger point release
  • Acupuncture
  • Osteopathic techniques

Brent sees the importance in education and giving back to podiatry by allowing university students into his practise for real world experience during the year.

  • Winograd procedure- This procedure will be done in hospital setting under local and or general anaesthesia and it is reserved upon failure of the phenolization or if there is significant amount of skin overlapping the nail with soft tissue growth. This procedure involves removing a portion of the skin along with the nail down to the level of the bone. Sutures (stitches) will be applied to close the surgical site. The procedure takes about 10-15 minutes to be performed and your foot will be bandaged. You will be seen within first 5 days and then the sutures will be removed in 10-14 days. Currently this procedure can only be performed by Reza Naraghi (podiatric surgeon).  He will prescribe appropriate pain medication for your post-operative pain management. You will be in open sandal and or post op shoe for 2 weeks. This is not for everyone (especially if you don’t like seeing surgical procedures) but should you be keen to see a step by step process involved in a Winograd then please click here.
  • Zadik Procedure- This procedure is used with permanent total nail removal is desired. The indications for the procedure are significant ingrowing nail on both borders, thickened and painful nails and bony growth under the nailbed. This procedure can be done under local with sedation and or under general anaesthesia at a hospital and or day surgery centre. Sutures will be applied and will be removed 14 days post surgery. You can not get your foot wet and your foot will be in a sterile bandage for 2-3 weeks. You may need pain medication post surgery. On average it will take six weeks for your nail bed area to heal. Following that you can wear most close shoes.
  1. This procedure involves:
  • Removing the nail partially or totally and ablating (destroying) the root using a weak acid called phenol.
