\n\n
Elson was originally trained as a Dental Technician in the University of Otago. He was trained to make prosthesis for the head and neck. Throughout the years of training, he had developed dexterous hands skills and a great knowledge in the behaviour and properties of materials used in prosthetic.
\n\n\n\n
He first discovered his passion for feet when he worked part-time at a specialist footwear retailer. On a daily basis he met people with different foot conditions, seeking solutions for their problems. He enjoys the challenge of solving "difficult" problems and helping people. His
\ncuriousity for the foot pathologies had led him to the path of becoming a podiatrist.
He founded Care Podiatry in 2013, built on a vision of providing the "best" quality podiatry care in Auckland. He started off with a humble setup in a medical room in Papatoetoe with zero patients, through the word of mouth from his patients, he had expanded to 3 clinics with over 2500 returning patients within 2 years. He was often described as "the most thorough podiatrist". In 2015, he was prized with "Highly Commended Podiatrist" award by the Eastern Committee.
\n\n\n\n
As a podiatrist, Elson had successfully treated a variety of patient cases, from common foot and ankle injuries, diabetics foot ulcers, arthritic foot pain, severe fungal toenail infection, and many other skin and toenail problems. He has conducted multiple case studies throughout the years, and dedicated his focus to specialise in Fungal Treatments and Verrucae/Wart Treatments. He welcomes challenging cases and is confident in the success rate of his treatments.
\n\n\n\n
With his background in dental technology, he had transferred many techniques from dentistry into podiatry. His dexterous hand skills and his podiatry restoration techniques makes his podiatry treatments unique, and differentiates himself from the standard podiatry practice.
\n\n\n\n
Elson believes that "there are always more than one solutions to a problem, and with the advancement of new technology and research, we gain a better understanding of the different foot problems and discover new ways to treat them" and believes that "if your foot concerns are not resolved, you havn't found the right podiatrist."
\n\n\n\n
He is currently the only Chinese speaking podiatrist in NZ whom is experienced in all fields of podiatric practice, and is pioneering the podiatry profession among the Chinese community. He had been invited for TV and radio interviews, and often guest speaks at community health conferences to share his knowledge and ideas with his colleagues. His unique approach to common foot problems and his dedication to promote good foot health has earned him a good reputation within the local community. His reputation spreads beyond his practicing locations, and has returning clients from who would travel on periodic basis from other cities such as Whangarei and Christchurch.
\n\n\n\n
His current goal is to establish a specialised team of allied health professionals, providing health services to the community
