Children's Podiatrist

Women are four times more likely to have foot problems.

Children’s foot and leg expert — Antoni Caserta

All of our podiatrists enjoy working with kids and have been trained to assess and manage the unique problems that can affect their feet and legs. But because we strive to provide the absolute best service, we also bring in the best people.

We’re extremely fortunate to have Antoni Caserta working at Fairfield Podiatry every Tuesday evening. Antoni spends the majority of the week working in the paediatric team at Monash Health, which exposes him to children with a huge variety of problems. He is also passionate about education and regularly teaches paediatric podiatry to undergraduate and qualified podiatrists. Antoni has presented at Australian and international conferences and is in the process of completing a PhD focusing on toe walking. Your child’s feet are in good hands with Antoni!
