40 Years of Umina Podiatry

Help us celebrate our 40th Birthday

In 1981 Umina Podiatry opened for business in a rented room adjacent to a Vet in West Street. Since that time we have seen a long list of podiatrists who have worked in the business, along with fantastic support staff on the front desk, and podiatry students who have learned from us. The practice has changed hands from the founder Gary Brewin, to Stephanie Vidler through the 1990’s, and current owner Damian Gough. For many years we were located in Trafalgar Avenue, on the corner of Cambridge Street,?and moved to the current premises in 2011.

These images from Google Maps show our premises in Trafalgar Avenue in 2008, our current location in Bullion Street prior to renovation in 2010, and how it looks now in 2021.
