Dr Chris Angel

Podiatrist

Chris enjoys all aspects of podiatry but has a particular interest in biomechanical issues and relishes the challenge of “fixing feet”. This focus extends to complex lower limb issues, prescribing and fitting more involved devices such as Ankle Foot Orthoses and custom medical grade footwear as well as paediatric lower limb bracing.

Chris completed his podiatry studies at Queensland University of Technology and moved to Hobart to take up a locum position at Ispahan Podiatry in 2001. Shelving his plans to return north after a couple of years, Chris bought the practice from his mentor, well-known Hobart Podiatrist Clive Brown in 2007 and built the business over the following ten years before selling to mainland company Healthia Limited. He continued to work in a clinical and management role with the group, travelling between Hobart and the North-West Coast for My FootDr, and resigned late in 2023 to take a well-earned break.

Chris is married, has two teenage daughters, more cars than he should and more pets than he thinks his household really needs.

Chris is a keen road cyclist and runner. When not at work or with his family he can usually be found in the garage fixing cars, building interesting things in timber or undertaking a seemingly endless list of self-imposed DIY projects. Chris also holds a Bachelor of Science in Parasitology and Marine Ecology.
