About Stefan
My passion for Podiatry started more than 26 years ago when I completed my BSc. with Honors specialising in Podiatry from the University of Brighton. I then continued my post-graduate study, and in 1999, I graduated from The New Zealand College of Podiatric Surgery (in collaboration with the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine Cleveland) with a Diploma in Podiatric Surgery (Dip.Pod.Surg).

Excellent service and Great result. I had a Osteotripsy at the left foot 5th toe, which resulted in it being difficult to walk for more than 30 minutes at a time and hard to find comfortable footwear to walk in other than slippers. After my consultation with you in your Auckland surgery I felt confident in you Stefan and in your plan to rectify this problem with minimal surgery. A month after the operation was complete I had my final check-up and all was fine. No pain, No bandages, No problems. Now 6 weeks post-op I can wear my normal shoes and walk for the first time in 4 years for as long as I wish, without pain. Thank you Stefan for this amazing result, in such a short period of time and for all your very caring, professional service during this procedure.

I have had both bunions done plus other toe surgery done by Stefan and am totally happy with the outcome of the surgery. Am pain free at last and able to walk so much better, and able to buy women's shoes after years of not being able to. Stefan comes highly recommended not only for the success of the surgery but for his compassion and follow up services. .

Once again I would like to thank Stefan R. Edwards Fnzcps from the Foot clinic for the work he has done on both my ankles, if it wasn’t for his expertise and professionalism I would still be finding it hard to walk let alone run, to be able to do both pain after such a long time is a real gift. .
