Our Team
Podiatrists
Andrew Loveridge
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.
Niti Teli
Niti brings a fresh perspective and a deep commitment to foot and ankle care at Hills District Podiatry, having earned a Bachelor’s of Podiatric Medicine degree with Honours from the Western Sydney University. From handling complex wound care cases in hospital settings to providing accessible podiatric services in community clinics and delivering personalized care in a small-town private practice, Niti has a well-rounded perspective on foot health.
She believes that one of the most important things a podiatrist can do is really listen to each patient and get a deep understanding of their concerns and goals. With extensive training in diagnosing and treating a wide range of podiatric conditions, from common dermatological concerns like plantar warts, to more multifaceted musculoskeletal cases, Niti is dedicated to providing high-quality care to each patient.
Niti also has a special interest in the Diabetic Foot and enjoys staying at the forefront of advancements in the field to offer the best possible assessment and treatment options.
Outside of her clinical work, Niti loves going to the cinema, travelling and taking long-drives.
Her latest discovery is learning new dance forms, which keeps her fit and active, she says.
As our newest team member, Niti is excited and passionate about bringing her special ‘blend’ of experience, empathy and holistic clinical approach to every patient of Hills District Podiatry.
Anthony Bui
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.
