Dr Anthony R Gum is a Podiatrist (General) based in Epping, NSW. His clinic is at 21 York Street, Epping NSW 2121. If you’ve been dealing with foot pain, you know how annoying it can be day to day, whether you’re on your feet at work or just walking around town.
Dr Gum helps with common foot problems and checks that are meant to catch issues early. That includes foot exams, especially when you’re not sure what’s causing the discomfort. He looks at how your feet move, how your skin and nails are coping, and where pressure might be building up.
One of the things people often come in for is ingrown toenails. This can start as mild discomfort, then it turns into throbbing pain or redness around the nail. In many cases, early treatment makes things easier and helps stop it getting worse.
Orthotics are another part of the work. If you’ve had ongoing foot pain, or you feel like your shoes don’t sit right, an orthotic fitting may help you get more support and better alignment. Dr Gum focuses on practical solutions that suit your everyday routine, not just a quick fix.
He also provides foot pain management for people dealing with sore spots, aching arches, and general foot discomfort. At times, the cause is simple, like irritation or pressure from footwear. Other times, it can be more about how the foot is working as you walk. Either way, the goal is the same: get you moving more comfortably.
Over time, good foot care can make a big difference. Small changes, like the right treatment plan and the right support, can help you feel steadier on your feet. Dr Gum’s approach is calm and straightforward, with time to talk through what’s going on and what options might help.
In terms of training, he has completed his podiatry education and keeps up with updates in day-to-day podiatry care. He doesn’t rely on guesswork—he uses checks and assessment to guide next steps.
For people who are not sure where to start, a simple foot exam is often a good first step. If something is painful, swollen, or just not right, it’s worth getting it checked rather than waiting it out.
