Your friendly Podiatrists - Experts in foot and ankle care
Our practice was commenced in 1996 by Anthony Short & Elouise Carmichael. Up until 2007, the practice was known as Carmichael & Short Podiatrists, until changing its name to The Podiatry Practice. The practice is centrally located in a large multi-specialty medical centre near the heart of Brisbane, opposite the Mater Hospitals complex in South Brisbane, and easy accessible by major road, bus and rail routes.
We practice all aspects of modern podiatric medicine, from diabetes and high risk foot care, to sporting and occupational injuries, and minor foot surgery. We are confident that our modern facilities and up-to-date knowledge on foot and ankle care will ensure your problem is cared for professionally and without delay to get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
