Meet The Team 1

Wes Huck  

M. Pod. M. (UWA)  B. Sc. (Podiatry)  Post Grad Diploma Health Sc  MAPA

Wes has been a podiatrist for over thirty years. Since graduating from W.A.I.T. ( now Curtin University) in 1982, Wes has worked in a wide variety of professional settings including large public teaching hospitals, community health, remote rural and regional centres, the state child development centre and for the last twenty one years, Feet First Podiatry.

Wes is a gentle person at heart with a gentle touch to match. Wes’s gentle touch and unhurried, quiet manner is especially helpful for patients who have had a previous painful experience or adverse outcome, who may be anxious about treatments or needle shy.

Treating feet for over thirty years, Wes has seen just about everything and is a resource power house in the practice. ”It’s really satisfying when we help a patient resolve a difficult, painful problem.” Wes has several post graduate qualifications including a Masters degree in Podiatric Medicine from UWA. He has a special interest in paediatric foot health as well as sports and bio-mechanical disorders.

Born and raised in East Fremantle, Wes shares his love of the Swan River and local beaches with his wife Fern, two children (now grown), and the family dog.

Fern

BSc Hons (Biology) Dip Prac Management , CPMAAPM

Since co-founding Feet First with Wes in 1998, Fern has worked steadily to improve patient experience and care. Behind the scenes, Fern keeps the practice clockwork whirring. As practice manager there’s a new puzzle for her to solve every single day! Fern says, “It’s a real pleasure to be part of the solution helping people with sensitive feet so they can get back to doing the things they love.”

Fern loves walking along the river or at the beach with one eyed Miles, the gypsy-pirate rescue dog.
