Our Podiatrist
Walter Armenti
Footcare Comes First
Walter studied for his Bachelor degree in Podiatry at Curtin University in WA. During his study, he worked part time at Perth's leading Orthotic Manufacturing Lab where he learned to make custom made orthoses. After graduating in 1988, he studied in the USA at the California College of Podiatric Medicine furthering his knowledge of Biomechanics and surgical nail techniques. He spent quite a bit of time in the ulcer clinic treating and assisting those with diabetic foot complications.
Walter started his first private practice in 1989 and his client base expanded to open a further 2 clinics, as well as domicilary and country clinics. In WA, he sees the highest number of DVA clients and Medibank Private Member's Choice clients. His main client base are clients that he has treated from back in the 1990's and are still with him today. Many of them he has treated as children and now is treating their children. A high number of his new clients are word of mouth referrals.
Apart from general podiatry, Walter has excellent results with treating ingrown toenails and verrucae. He often has other podiatrists refer their clients to him for his treatment. He has a great understanding of biomechanics and his custom made orthotics are well sought after, as the results speak for themselves. After receiving their orthotics, clients often book themselves months in advance for mobilisation to keep their feet in check. He has saved many people from undergoing surgery by treating the underlying issues of the mechanics of the foot. Walter is interested in solving his clients' foot problems without fuss.
