Our Team
Podiatrists
Andrew Loveridge
Principal Podiatrist
Andrew is our principal Podiatrist and Director, having opened the practice in January 2014. Since then, he has treated thousands of Hills District residents with a huge variety of foot and lower leg pathologies. From ingrown nails to custom foot orthotics, diabetic ulcers to diagnosing neuromuscular disorders, he has treated it all. Andrew is particularly skilled in ingrown nail and wart surgeries, providing customised foot orthoses and treating the most difficult feet. He regularly sees patients with congenital foot deformities, patients who have experienced major trauma or have been injured in the workplace.
Over the past 5 years he has become more involved in mentoring students and new graduates which he takes great pride in. Andrew has a special interest in biomechanics of the lower leg and is contributing to research with the University of Newcastle. Over many years he has developed a strong working relationship with network of health professions, including general practitioners, physiotherapists, surgeons, radiologists and sports physicians.
He is always looking to improve his knowledge and that of his team, to ensure all patients get the best service possible at Hills District Podiatry.
Andrew is a keen and competitive sportsman. As a teenager, he competed at a representative level of gymnastics and athletics. As an adult he has played and coached representative rugby league, cricket, and baseball. He’s also coached a number of kids T-Ball, OZTAG and soccer teams over the years, and is currently coaching a local U16s rugby league team. Andrew enjoys running and hiking, and has completed the 6 day Overland Track hike with his son Matt. Training, playing and coaching for so many years has given Andrew great insight into improving sporting performances and managing sporting injuries.
Anthony Bui
Senior Podiatrist
Anthony discovered his passion for podiatry after a childhood filled with basketball-induced lower limb injuries like fractured fibulas, ingrown toenails, and plantar fasciitis. These experiences sparked his interest in foot health and empathy for those dealing with similar issues.
Outside of his podiatry practice, Anthony enjoys a variety of hobbies that keep him grounded and active. He's a self-proclaimed kitchen adventurer, always trying out new recipes and flavors. When he's not in the kitchen, you might find him under the hood of his car, tinkering to keep it in top shape. Staying fit is a priority too, so he hits the gym regularly to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In his work, Anthony combines personal experience with a professional focus on treating ingrown toenails and managing injuries. His goal is to not only keep patient's feet out of pain but also to understand their individual journeys to recovery. Together, he strives to help them achieve optimal foot health and overall well-being.

Before pursuing podiatry, Ali worked in a boxing gym and as a personal trainer, alongside his own MMA training. This experience has given him a strong understanding of movement, injury, and performance.
Ali has a particular interest in treating ingrown toenails, corns, and warts, and is always looking to further develop his knowledge and skills in these areas.
Outside of the clinic, Ali loves spending time with his wife and two beautiful little girls. He also enjoys weight training, MMA, reading, spending time outdoors, and going for drives.

She looks after the day to day running of the practice, including the boring but very necessary administrative and financial tasks, ensuring the practice has everything it needs so you have the best possible experience at our clinic. You can usually find her in the” little office” with lots of paperwork, and she’s always happy to have a chat!
Lynda worked for Qantas Holidays for 15 years, which is where her passion for customer service began. It’s also where her love for travel began! For those of you who don’t know, Lynda is married to Andrew, and they have 3 great kids. She’s a little bit arty & crafty, she loves cooking (and makes pretty great scones), reading recipe books, and camping trips with the family.
