Our Approach

Foot care designed around how you actually live.

Your feet carry you through life — through morning runs, beach walks, long shifts on your feet and the small unmissable moments. Overuse and unnoticed injuries can slowly take their toll. Don’t wait for pain to slow you down.

As award-winning Gold Coast podiatrists, we treat the underlying mechanics — not just the symptom. From custom 3D-printed orthotics to advanced laser therapy, every protocol is built on evidence, refined by experience, and tailored to your goals.

What we treat

Specialist care for every part of your feet.

A Gold Coast podiatrist sees a wider range of conditions than most patients realise. Our team handles every common foot, nail, gait and lower-limb concern from a single appointment.

The Ace Difference

Why patients choose Ace Health Centre.

Most Gold Coast podiatry clinics outsource manufacturing, refer you across town, or treat the symptom alone. We do none of that.

01

On-Site MotionX Lab

We don’t outsource. Our 3D-scanned, CAD-designed orthotics are manufactured in our own MotionX lab — 1–2 week turnaround, perfect-fit guarantee.

02

Same-Roof Multidisciplinary Care

Podiatry, physiotherapy, shockwave, laser, custom orthotics and Pilates under one roof. No referral chasing, no lost weeks of recovery.

03

Award-Recognised Expertise

AAHA Finalist, Young Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist, and Australian Podiatry Association registered. Clinical excellence is our standard.

Mike co-founded Ace Health Centre on one principle: clinical excellence shouldn’t mean a sterile, rushed, transactional experience.

Your first visit

What happens when you walk through our doors.

Most first visits run 30–45 minutes. After all, the assessment determines the entire treatment plan — so we don’t rush it.

01

Focused History

We listen first. What hurts, what triggers it, what you’ve already tried — and what your goals actually look like.

02

Movement & Gait Analysis

Barefoot and shod gait check on our walkway. Joint range, muscle strength, tissue palpation, footwear review.

03

Diagnosis & Plan

Clear, plain-language explanation of what’s happening — and a practical, written treatment plan you can stick to.

04

Same-Visit Treatment

Where appropriate, we begin treatment in the same visit — including 3D laser scanning if custom orthotics are indicated.

Frequently asked

Answers to the questions we hear most.

— 01 Do I need a GP referral to see a Gold Coast podiatrist?
No referral is needed for podiatry. However, patients with a GP Chronic Disease Management plan can access bulk-billed visits — bring the plan and your Medicare card.
— 02 How quickly can I be seen?
Most patients are seen within the same week. Ingrown-toenail consults and acute heel pain typically fit into next-day or next-business-day slots.
— 03 Do you treat children?
Yes. We have specific paediatric appointment slots for children’s foot and gait concerns, including Severs, in-toeing, paediatric flat feet and growing pain.
— 04 How much do custom orthotics cost?
Cost varies with style and complexity, but most private health funds cover a portion via the orthotic-prescription item code. HICAPS-on-the-spot processing means you only pay the gap.
— 05 What about Veterans?
Yes — we treat DVA Gold and White Card holders, and we direct-bill DVA so there’s no out-of-pocket on the day.
— 06 Can I bring my old orthotics for review?
Absolutely. Bring them along — we’ll tell you whether they still suit you, need recovering, or it’s time for a fresh prescription.
— 07 How long until orthotics arrive?
Most prescriptions ship from the on-site MotionX lab in 1–2 weeks. We’ll book your fit-up appointment when you scan, so you’re not chasing dates later.
