Omar Sawan is a Podiatrist (General) based in Yagoona, in Sydney’s south west. His clinic is at 457 Hume Highway, Yagoona NSW 2199, making it easy to drop in for foot care when you need it.
Omar looks after everyday foot problems. That can include people with painful ingrown toenails, thick skin, corns, and calluses. If your feet feel sore after standing all day, or you’re getting rubbing in the wrong spots, podiatry can make a real difference in day-to-day comfort.
Foot exams are a big part of his work. These check things like how your feet move, where pressure builds up, and what might be causing pain. In many cases, small changes to how the foot is supported can help. He also provides orthotic fitting, which is designed to give your feet more support and help reduce stress in the foot and lower leg.
When toenails grow the wrong way, it can be more than just annoying. Ingrown toenails can hurt, swell, and keep coming back. Omar focuses on practical treatment options, aiming to settle the problem and keep things as comfortable as possible.
He also treats corns and calluses. These often build up from pressure or friction, like tight shoes or the way you walk. At times, trimming and removal helps straight away, and he’ll talk through what might be causing it so it doesn’t keep repeating.
In terms of experience, the details are not listed here. Education information also isn’t shown in the profile. What is clear is that the clinic takes a hands-on approach, with care that feels grounded and practical.
For research and clinical trials, there’s no specific information listed. That said, foot care is always moving, and it helps when a clinician keeps up with what works in real practice.
Omar speaks English and Arabic, which can help with clear communication and make appointments feel less stressful.
If you’re dealing with ongoing foot pain, skin thickening, or a stubborn ingrown toenail, Omar can assess what’s going on and discuss next steps in a simple, straight way.
