Meet The Team
Phillip Smith
Phil Smith has lived and practised in the Blue Mountains since 2010, choosing to make this stunning location the place he'd hone his craft, nurture his family and now, establish his own Podiatry practice.
Living a stone’s throw from the practice location in Springwood, Phil is excited to continue developing his connection with both the immediate community and the rest of the Blue Mountains region.
Improving quality of life is at the core of Phil’s approach to his practice, and he is committed to providing tailored treatment plans to the needs of each patient, believing that every individual is unique and tossing out the one-size-fits-all treatment approach. If you’ve ever benefitted from treatment with Phill – you’ll know what we’re talking about!
When not helping patients, you’ll spot Phil cycling on the trails and roads around the mountains, hitting up Parkrun with his family each Saturday, running socially and competing in the odd mountain bike event.
Chrissy
Chrissy is one of our receptionists here at Birdwood Podiatry. A Blue Mountains local all her life, Chrissy along with her young family will often be out on a bushwalk, visiting a lookout or enjoying a coffee nearby at Cassiopeia. Chrissy brings with her many years of administrative experience and enjoys being a familiar face to welcome both new and returning patients to the clinic.
Sam
Sam has only recently moved to the Blue Mountains area and joined the team here at Birdwood Podiatry as a receptionist. She also works as a tutor, mainly teaching primary school children in the Penrith area. She is currently completing her university degree in Teaching at WSU, and hopes to one day teach here in the Blue Mountains.
Paula
We have recently welcomed Paula to our team. Paula has made the tree change to the Mountains recently with her husband and two children. Paula has a Diploma in Business administration and a background in hospital administration as well as running her own business. Paula enjoys immersing herself in her new surroundings, exploring the mountains on foot or bike with her family and spending time in the garden at home. We are thrilled to have Paula working Tuesdays and Fridays at the clinic.
